My husband & I were looking for a new toy for me - the kids were grown and I could get a 2-seater. I was not having much luck finding anything I wanted and had pretty much resigned myself to getting either a Corvette or a Mercedes roadster.
THEN -I saw a Saturn Sky displayed up on a turntable at a car show in 2005, and I fell instantly head over heels in love.
My husband & I were both shocked to find out it was a Saturn (jaw dropping time) and I was beyond disappointed to discover that they were not yet for sale and would not be until the following spring.
As soon as I got home I hit the internet for all the info I could find - then I discovered that it was likely that Saturn would be offering a turbo - wow! I HAD to have that.
Area dealerships were not taking any orders for Red Lines - the waiting lists were overfilled.
I waited ... and waited ... and drooled over every Sky I laid eyes on. Finally - in Summer 2007, after a 21 month wait, I could put a deposit down on my dream. Hubby & I went to the dealership ready to write a deposit check - BUT they just happened to have a special order Sky Red Line in stock that a customer had backed out of the day before for personal reasons.
Everything I wanted - leather, XM, 6CD Monsoon, spoiler, etc., etc. & it was BLUE !!

I snagged that Midnight Blue gem and drove her home with the biggest grin I have ever had in my life. My daughter dubbed the Sky as Saffyre. But I call her Saffy -which to my daughter is simply more proof that her mother has "lost her mind".

Saffy is constantly the star wherever she goes and not surprisingly - I've still got my permagrin !!

If you live in the Northwest (or even if you don't) - please come join me, my Saffy, & other Kappa drivers at the Pacific Northwest Roadsters page
