Oh well.............

Doesn't matter, we'll buy it as we're too lazy for any alternative long term.

They only exploded for the people who drove them like race cars expecting the tires to hold up to hard turns and fast driving.
I found one in the color i want for a good price, if i get one i could take a more direct route to work, the Jeep is kind of a pain to drive right now.

Wait until summer, when that whale washes up shore, that fatcory shutdown because of a fire and then of course that special forumula they have to use for summer.

I only spend about $44 a week driving from OC to LA everyday!! Saturns are the best

You absolutely can't be serious?

Do you have any clue what gas mileage those huge cars get with that 4.0 V6 and an auto???

Worse than your sn95...

Damn I miss the gas mileage I was getting last year in my old 86 jetta, but I sold that to purchase the 95. My dad is gonna give me his old 84 Rabbit GTI, so i will soon be DD'ing an underbucket too...The downside is, it has no AC, but oh well I only drive 15 miles to work so i will stick it out....

i wish i was spending 65 a week, i have to fill my 95 up every 3 days

I stopped daily driving V8's about 3 years ago.

I am currently driving a 96 2.3L 5 speed pickup with AC. It gets about 25mpg consistently.

My 93 and my 94GT got about 18mpg average (spare me the stories about your 5.0 gettine 25mpg on a recent roadtrip because it doesn't apply considering 50% of my driving is city. My truck gets 30mpg highway if we are talking no city driving)

my 93 fox sleeps all week because of the gas prices. thats cool cause i drive a 2001 saturn L300 daily to work. $50 a week to fill up and i get @ 300-340 miles out of it. not bad for a 3.0L V-6. plus, the a/c blows super cold and i have a sunroof on standby.

them prices are a big reason why i chose to commute on caltarin fulltime to santa clara(90miles round trip).
$150 for a monthly pass
vs
1800 miles commuting a month = $300 in gas a month(24mpg @$4/gallon)

on a side note: 24mpg aint too bad for a 255hp sedan that will smoke many foxes.LOL

$200/week
But thats commuting from sac to bay, and I get paid mileage, AND i'm in an integra. So I guess I can't bitch hehe

All those people who tried to save money by moving out to the boonies and commuting are now paying up for their choice. My place is a shack for what I could have bought somewhere else, but the 2 mile commute is worth it, especially now.
