MY Sky Red Line
Website:

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

Dealership undid damage - mostly

Well - I have my Sky back from the dealership They did do a pretty good job - mostly a couple of small inconspicuous areas & one small spot on the hood that I think that they were terrified to get to close to my custom pinstriping. Hubby & I will finsh it up ourselves because it just is not worth it to me to leave it there any longer for that. But it did take them most of 2 days to get it to this point. The longer they have it the more likely it is that someone else might damage it agai… Continue

Well, my car went back to the dealership this morning. They have a different service manager than last fall & this one seems to be way more cooperative than the old one. He agreed that the whole thing was definitely thier fault and promised that they would correct the situation. And he decided that it would NOT be a good idea for the detailer to be there ( DUH ! ). I let him know that I am very, very particular about my vehicles and that I am beyond picky about my Sky. So he made a p… Continue

GGGGGRRRRRR !!!!!

I took my car to the dealer for an oil change. I tell them at the service desk "DO NOT WASH MY CAR" not just once - but TWICE. I leave, come back, and my car is sitting there waiting ... and guess what !?! They washed my car & it is now covered with swirled scratchmarks. I am so furious I could wring someone's neck. First thing I said when I walked in the door to the service guy was "I am NOT happy" - and he says "Yeah, I know, they washed your car" I am supposed to take the car back tomo… Continue

Nice ride. We are in Vegas way too many times a year. Due 5/23 to 2/25, and am sure Betsy has another in the works. Want to do another run through Utah and catch the Parks we missed enroute to 2008 Meet. Rico & Hollie (tour names - long story)

Celt,
Have a great time at the Nationals
- I decided to go on the Mecca II Plant Tour in Wilmington, DE this year. I just started a new contract position so I had to make a choice and this was closer. Maybe next year :>)

Got to say I am right there with you. I saw the car about the same time and decided I wanted one. I just needed to get the finances in shape and that happened a couple of years earlier and in 2007 I drove my silver one out of the showroom and haven't stopped loving it yet. We even walked out with a new Outlook at the same time. I will say we are a Saturn family.
