Getting Your Saturn Sky Forum for discussing the process of ordering/tracking/buying your Saturn Sky. Ever wonder what a VOMS is? How about an "image", or how cars are allocated? The answer probably lies within.

Finally Bought What I Build

After building thousands and thousands of Kappa cars, I finally bought a Black 09 Sky Redline with all the bells & whistles. The wife thought that I was going through the "mid-life-crisis" thing. I told he if that was true, I'd have bought a Corvette! I noticed that they did away with the center cup holder. So there's only one, and it's for the passanger. I'll post some pictures at a later date.

No center cup holder? And I hear that the passenger cup holder is now made out of metal rather than plastic. The world is going to hell in a handbasket.

Wow...so the 2009 models are already showing up at the dealerships? Or, did you just order a 2009 and are waiting for it to be built?

Is this question for me? If so, I always buy black cars. The "ruby" color is called Merlot- a least thats what the window sticker says.

I think he was referring to the Solstice name for the color- Wicked. I'm waiting for the friend of Dorothy comments to start flying on the Sol forum!

UPF - Bluetooth phone interface is the only "new feature" listed on the web, so beyond that, the flux capacitor can wait.

I still remember your impression of the RL way back. Something about "WOW. This is the one I want". Great to hear that came true.
