Default Dummo checking in from Saturnfans

Dummo, from Saturfans.com checking in. I did not even know Saturnforum.com existed. I try to access the Facebook Saturn groups but my past and present keep chasing me down there and its distracting. I am trying to learn the layout of the land here so please bare with me.
i'm glad to find this site and look forward to being able to access and enjoy it here.

That's my 1997 SW2 showing off its makeshift roof rack comprised of rolled up and flat area rugs with rubber backing.

Welcome to the forum. That's a nice looking SW you have there. I regret ever getting rid of mine, but it was hard for my wife and daughter to get in and out of. Both have had back surgery and have screws and rods. The wife has had 13 back surgeries in 36 years.

I never would have thought of that roof rack, but I did install a trailer hitch on my SC1. the catch is that the hitch is rusted in the receiver so badly that I can not get it loose with a 12 pound sledge hammer...

take the crosspin out and try towing something expensive.

It'll pop right out.

The crosspin is out, it took about 5 minutes of hammering. I tried towing a pickup truck, but it only spun the wheels. I tried pulling on it with the same truck, but it just pulled the entire car...

You need to tow something EXPENSIVE....

Try a Lambroghini on a dolly at freeway speeds in heavy traffic.


THEN it will come out....

Hi Dummo!

Good to see some additional familiar "faces" from the dissappearing Saturn Forum (which shall remain nameless, since I don't yet know what all the rules are about referring to other sites, here) lol

Welcome!

Lamborgini? Why not something bigger? Maybe I can get the Queen Mary on a boat trailer...
