…But I don’t think I want to know what that story is.
This is the frame of my SAAB 9-5 on the right rear side, just under the bumper. I first saw this gash at the dealer when we were first checking the car out. The angle and zoom make it look more massive than it is, but it’s still impressive in real life. It’s maybe four inches in length.
I can only imagine that someone, years ago, tried to tow the car with a strap attached to the hole and ended up pulling the hook across the frame like a can opener. That would be a strange thing to do because there are tow hooks under the bumper that are made for pulling.
Anyway, there is no point to this post except to share this horrifying feature of my car.
Looks nasty. Wouldn’t you want this welded up?

Yeah, I really need to do something. The tear seems stable and remains rust free, so it sits on my to-do list.
But that doesn’t stop me from worrying about the day I hit a pothole and the car splits open like a container of Jiffy Pop popcorn. :O)
