Worst Upgrade not offered for the SKY

**JohnD** · 09-25-2006, 02:48 AM

I'm feeling kind of punchy tonight, and was thinking of posting a rude comment in the radio-bling-billet glare-o-matic accessories recently announced. But I certainly didn't want to do that in the official product announcement thread (

) and really - when you come right down to it - you could come up with a lot worse accessories for the Saturn SKY.

I was torn between two horrible options and I couldn't decide which was worse, so I figured I'd just post them here and let you folks decide as well as post your own worst upgrades that nobody is offering (yet!)

Option 1: Power Sun/Moonroof to insert in the convertible top
Option 2: Two-Inch Shag Carpeting interior upgrade, with matching dashboard cover (the appropriate colors here - like Hunter Orange and Kermit Green could really complete the hideousness)

Thoughts?

Why would anyone want those options for this beautiful car????

I'm going to have to go with the Pontiac Aztek tent package.

The best upgrade not offered for the Sky is the lego option from the Chevy Venture Warner Bros. Edition. That was like the best thing ever, but I can see how it might be distracting in the Sky.

The sunroof would be pretty bad in a sky, but Volkswagan has it in the convertible Eos. I don't recall any other convertible with this option.

The EOS is a nice car. I thought about that one for a few minutes after hearing about it from my sister and seeing it at the Chicago auto show, but I couldn't resist the look of the Sky. My sister is still considering it though. Took it for a test drive and liked it. That roof scares me though! Too many working parts that could fail.

And VW definitely isn't know for their well built electrical systems!

Curb feelers?

Rick Tinley Park · 09-25-2006, 10:15 AM

If you had 2 inch shag in the interior there would be no interior! It would be filled with SHAG... Heheheheh

Maybe a bad idea... Sky doesn't land well....as evidenced by the green one shown recently down in Florida.

How about a coon tail for the radio antenna?

**Skip** · 09-25-2006, 02:56 PM

I was thinking like you know carpeting for the dash, man, and like dice hanging from the rear view mirror. And maybe like jacking up the rearend so it looks like a swoosh car man....Skip..super fly

Ernest · 09-25-2006, 03:16 PM

Maybe a Baboon Kit, A** Raised in the Air and Painted?

Ernest · 09-25-2006, 03:18 PM

Better yet, a knob for the steering wheel? It is no longer proper to use the old term for them!!

MidniteBlues · 09-25-2006, 03:26 PM

I want hydraulic shocks, you the type the latin dudes use on the chebies & stuff, make the front end bounce up/down--heck why not I'd want them in the back 2, that way I can drive my Sky cock-eyed--

dolph4golf · 09-25-2006, 03:49 PM

How about a nice Continental Kit for the back end of that thing! With the extra tire and chrome. Heck if you take the spare tire out you might have room for a little luggage.Randolph

Ah there is no spare tire... But along that vein -- if we had a continental kit we'd finally HAVE a spare!
