Well, my Saturn died this morning. That was the first car that I had bought myself, in 1995. I drove it until we had kids, then Ryan took it over, leaving me with the van. It never stranded us, until today, the day it moved no longer. We were lucky to have a friend from Paradise that was in the Soo today, as he picked up Ryan and took him into work and is bringing him home tonight. Thank goodness!
We knew it wasn't going to last much longer, we had just started looking into getting a used vehicle soon, but not this soon or this rushed. Now the search begins......we want a newer-used minivan. A minivan just is the only vehicle that makes sense for us right now. With 3 boys and Trudie, it is the perfect vehicle. I thought about a smaller car to drive back and forth, but there are days when I have to pick up the kids & Trudie, and a car just won't do for that.
Have to make dinner soon. Have a good day.

I love Saturns. My oldest daughter bought one new (94) and we passed it along to my youngest daughter who took it to Ann Arbor, North Carolina, Florida, Chicago and then back to NC. She gave it away and as far a we know it is still running. I own a 2003 VUE and it has served us well. Still runs great! Why they shut that company down I'll never know. I've never heard a Saturn owner complain.
