missing my Saturn
 

My previous car was a '98 SL1 4 door, 5 speed, gold. Now I drive a '99
Chevy Venture minivan. I should have bought a Saturn SL1 or SL2 wagon.
Japanese cars like the Civic or Corolla might have better fit/finish but
are a lot more boring than the Saturn. Saturns have character.

When the Venture dies, a new Ion will be in my future.

That is the stupidest reason for buying a car I've ever heard.

you don't get out much, do you? People buy houses because they have a
certain character. People buy cars for all kinds of reasons. Character
is the least of "stupid" reasons. (Think: "Because it matches the color
of my shoes")

"Character" can embrace a variety of aspects of a car, from how you're
treated at the dealership to handling to interior comfort to reliability
and so on.

What?!?! Most people buy cars that they like. "It's cute", "It's cool"
are phrases you'll hear. To me, cars with personality are what I like. I
guess you're one of these Consumer Reports nerds with their statistical
printouts and such. Give me a Saturn over a dull Corolla, Sentra, Civic
anyday.

ME's about as bad as Windows 98. XP is a lot better and crashes a lot
less. Plus it actually has neat features.

If you guys want a good windows operating system the best has to be
windows 2000 pro. Its very stable and looks like the older o/s's and not
like a fisherprice toy. XP has more bloat than I could put up with.

I own both a SW2 and an (extended version) of the venture. These
vehicles are made for different purposes. Try to carry 8 people or
even a full sheet of plywood in the SW2, it's not much fun. It's kind
of ironic that the power of the minivan is actually a lot better then
the (somewhat) sporty SW2.

I have a truck to haul stuff and only carry maybe 4 people at most in the
Venture and not much cargo. But the Venture's nice for car camping after
taking out the seats and leaving them home. My wife and I sleep on the air
mattress in the back. We might get that new Saturn minivan after we sell
(if we sell it).
