My 14 year old car has developed some problems we cannot afford to fix. I love my car, it is exactly the right size for our family and while it isn't fancy it is perfect for our needs.

Too bad it won't go over 50 w/o smoking.

A new car for us would be a huge benefit and if it helped rescue the car industry then even better.


But I won't buy a Chrysler because Bob Nardelli is the CEO and after the way he ruined Home Depot it's frickin' amazing ANYONE would have given him a job. They deserve to go under just for hiring him.

it needs $700 of new brakes and tires. jeminy. but it's 2500 short of 100,000 miles.

nevermind that the cloth ceiling is coming detached from the headliner. i found some real big thumb tacks at the fabric store, called quilter's tacks. I've given the headliner a real cool retro look think james dean for $1.76.

i'm sure it's bluebook value is less than $700.

but it gets 35 mpg. remember when bill clinton was president and saturn was the shining star of the GM corp? took the blueprints from japan and built a company in tennessee that made affordable, reliable, fuel efficient cars. american made. what happened?

oh yeah. george bush.

I remember when Bill Clinton was president. I was only in my early forties, not mid-fifties. I felt better, looked better and was 20 pounds lighter. Damn George Bush!

she's lost a small fortune on her ford and gm stock.

when i found out about it i scolded her on how could she possibly invest in american cars?

she said she just left it up to her broker, Merle Lynch, and it was doin fine 15 years ago.

choke choke. but mommmmm, haven't you noticed in the last 15 years that SUVs are over?

nope, too busy to notice. her 60K is now worth a dollar a share.

tweekin.

damned interior cloth stuff is coming loose. Guess I'll need tacks too. I can't afford a new car just yet. The Saturn has so many little problems, some are fixable, but it's really starting to show its age.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Saturn tried to rip me off -- jayjay, 00:48:31 01/18/09 Sun [1]

i took her in for regular maintenance service, and asked them to check her brakes.

sure nuff back brake hydrolics were leakin and baby needs new shoes. said it be $480. well i went down the street to get new tires, they also do brakes, and they said they'd charge me $150 to fix the brakes. i couldn't believe it. that saved me over $300.

blew my world. i always thought Saturn was the honest branch of GM. just goes to show you can't trust anybody, not even car's baby daddy.

oh dig this, i got a letter in the mail today from Circuit City. wanting me to expand the warranty on the Vizio i bought a year ago. bwahhhahhaaahaa. ok. here's a hundred dollars and in 5 years you're address will be where?
