Will SKY be your only car ? - Page 3

Technically, yes it will be the only car, as my other vehicle is a motorcycle. Which, by the way, was the only vehicle for 6 years.

ford truck, mazda 626, miata, wrangler, viper, jeep cherokee, jeep cj7, hold on let me run outside and check, and oh yes the Sky.

2008SKY · 06-02-2006, 07:47 PM

I have Avalanche. If I got Sky or Solstice. I would use my Avalanche to go to work. little one would be my weekend toy...

**JohnD** · 06-02-2006, 09:44 PM

I can't wait to hop in the SKY each day for the short 10-mile hop to and from work. I tend to wander further now when I go to lunch. If I don't get three compliments a day, I feel depressed.

The Ford Ranger now sits outside, and hopes that I have to pick up something big and bulky at COSTCO...

So I am an "Other" - I kept my other car but now the SKY is the daily (and every chance I get) driver, and the truck is the errand-boy.

UPDATE: '04 L300.3 & Daughters '02 SL1 to be traded in on AURA. SKY Red Line will be bought outright. Financing AURA & Serenity to build credit, will pay off in a year or so.

My daughter & Serenity get the '04 VUE, only the best for my Serenity!!!!!!!!!

I am replacing the current car but I have another vehicle I plan to keep.

superfryguy · 06-22-2006, 11:33 AM

i have traded in my toyota tercel for this car. my wife has a sedan so i think we can manage

SKYLAR · 06-22-2006, 05:38 PM

It will primarily be my only car. My husband has a new Dodge Ram and then we have a 49 pickup and the "Grey Ghost" a Plymouth SuperDeluxe just waiting to get renovated!

I think my husband hopes with the Sky it will cut down on my shopping since I
won't have anywhere to put my purchases.

Hey, thats what my husband thinks........yea right...

blueskygal · 06-22-2006, 09:47 PM

For the past 17 years, I have been driving a family car - two jeep cherokees -the first made it to 220,000 miles and the current '99 is at 250,000. SO, My Sky will be my primary car and I hope to get a motorcycle soon. My husband will get my 99 Jeep Cherokee and he will finally get rid of his torn up F150. He has a motorcycle as well. We are launching the kids out and gonna have some fun!

bullseye · 06-23-2006, 09:07 PM

bluesky-g, what a rotten choice of what to take to work, M/C or convertible. Carlie's most definately gotten her money's worth out of her jeeps.

Blue Sky · 06-23-2006, 09:15 PM

This will be our third car. Wife has a sedan and I have an SUV for my J-O-B. This will truly be a fairweather weekend and some week days vehicle. Never in cold weather or snow.

With any luck, and a super trade on my '99 SL2, we should be able to get an AURA XR IN MIDNIGHT BLUE, that is one hot ma ma

Talk about amazing choices about what to ride to work - geez lemme see - the Lotus Elise or the Aprillia today, which one???

And you have less than 5 miles to get to work...at least I work more than 10 minutes away from home!!!! How bout we trade the jeep for one of your vehicles???

The Sky is my commute car. If I'm going to be stuck in traffic, I might as well be stuck in something I love.

I like the way you think!

I use my SKY as my commute car just because it's fun to drive. Besides I get a smile on my face as soon as get in. Looking at others with such sad looks in that traffic going home, makes me remember that life it too short and the main reason why I got this beautiful car.

Rahn · 07-06-2006, 07:52 PM

I have a 2002 WRX now, That will be my winter car and when I need to do some shopping for crap or go kayaking or...whaterver, Sky of course will be my spring, summer & Fall commuter car.

I traded my 96 Miata for the WRX in 2001 and have been missing it ever since.

HiredGun · 07-06-2006, 08:14 PM

The Redline on order will by a "go get ice cream" car. However, I suspect that it will become more than just that. I plan on weekend trips as far as the 48 hours will take us.

I have a 2004 Vue Redline as my daily driver and love it. I am encouraging my wife to investigate the Aura when it is introduced in the fall.

We have found our local dealer (Saturn of Toledo) and our salesman there (not sure if the rules allow me to mention his name) to be fair and great to deal with both at the time of sale and for service calls.

This will be my 4th Saturn and my second Redline. She will be the mistress to replace the boats I have loved!

Dktrwu2 · 07-06-2006, 08:26 PM

I've got an '05 Equinox that I'll keep. The Sky will be my fair wether car.

porkchopb · 07-06-2006, 09:56 PM

I've got a 2004 VW Touareg V8 right now. I expect I will garage the VW for the spring/summer and put the Sky into storage for the fall/winter. Parking in Boston is tight, so keeping two cars in the city is tough.

SkydiveMike · 07-08-2006, 04:46 PM

I can't really ignore the spouse car issue, which is why I selected other. My wife and I routinely carpool to work, so we have the Sky as our Summer car and her Vue as our winter car. I did trade in my 1999 SL1 (with 120k miles on it) for the Sky , so this does make the Sky *my* only car.

WAFB33 · 07-08-2006, 05:51 PM

Sky will be my only car...
i had a 350Z as my first car, and will be getting rid of an 05 Xterra for the Sky...Im in college so Im HOPING ill be able to manage shopping what little grocery i need for my Apartment in South carolina....
