I bought a new car–red Saturn SL1. It’s so nice to have a car again. I got some nice goodies this time (power windows, power locks, cruise control, a CD player) and the salesman threw in free pinstriping, paint sealant and fabric protection (which is stuff I wouldn’t have gotten if I had to pay for them).
Cool! I just got one last month (black/silver, kind of like graphite)! Only I didn’t get the electic windows and stuff. As of late I’ve developed an irrational notion that I’m going to drive my car into a lake and with non-power windows, I’ll have a better chance for escape. But I digress, how do you like the new ride? The new car smell is only just starting to fade, so you’ve got a few weeks to enjoy it!! YAY!
You know, Saturns are actually a GM division that uses the unibody structure from the Opel division of GM, which is in Europe. Good looking, nice handling, and well built.
Now if they’d just get rid of the upswept, quasi-rectangular, fender-avoiding headlights, they’d be much more attractive.
I have a '97 SL2 I got this summer, dark blue, very pretty. I LOVE my car. Congrats!
Besides that she’s a lovely car (she has a name but only I know it) she’s also the first one I bought entirely by myself; did all the talking, got the loan, didn’t have to borrow my grandma’s credit or anything. I guess I really am a grownup now.
The only problem I have is that I have to drive across town to get my free oil changes.
Saturns kick ass. Even if I can’t remember which model I have.
And, I always thought that -all- cars were female.
But, whatever, mine’s named Bessie. Like every other car in my family. I didn’t even have a choice. My mom named it before we even got the car off the lot.
