the powers to be for Saturn ever look with intense pride at the decisions they made that turned what appeared to be a well accepted and winning design/car
into a looser
This summer I have taken my 94 Saturn coupe, re-furbished last year to look sharp and all to high school kid car washes 'cause I hurt and it is hard for me to wash cars these days.
I never leave with out having a couple of kids, boys or girls come up and say what a neat car it is.
Now that is a compliment to a 16 year old automobile and the work I did to repaint it and the color I used, a bling version of Black Gold, a factory color.
It is not the oldest car I have ever owned to recieve compliments nor the newest. Nor the only one that is representative of a failed company.
It is however the only one I have ever owned that represents such a stupid way to kill a company in such a rapid fashion.
I sure enjoy owning driving my coupe with it's difficult to maintain sun roof, but it is likable.
I may yet buy myself a new Caddy coupe when they come out. Then again, I may not.
The fun factor of owning this car, always good, is getting better.
:cool:

yea, no one understands the fun factor.
my neighbors thought I was nuts replacing engines w remans in both cars when gas was over 3 a gallon. they think i'm nuts spending my leisure time in the garage replacing control arms, struts, brakes and other fun stuff

do my guts rattle on bumpy roads? sometimes.
does the car rattle on bumpy roads? always.
can I take a 30 mph curve at 50 with almost no body roll and leave poor souls tailgating me in the rear view mirror? always.

combine that with no car payments in a DECADE and it's just that. fun
