Default 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.

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).
