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.

Next week!

Howdy all!

So, new Sky RL owner here, *almost*

I have been debating for quite a while now on getting this since the Redline came out. We're currently a one convertible family, and I wanted some fun for myself. We went to the dealership last week, but there were no forest greens within 300 miles. If I ordered, I wouldn't get the incentive deals, so I figured it was fate, and decided to wait for the Carbon Flash.

Got to cruising online, and saw that a dealership close by had gotten one in. Called my dealer, and long story short, did the deal today. I'll be driving her by end of the week, tops.

I'll post pix as soon as I can
Cheers!

I think you'll be the first one here with the Carbon Flash.

Congrats...

Welcome to the Family

Congratulations! You're going to love it. Join your local club and you'll meet lots of great people with the same obsession! Keep those pearly whites in top form as you'll always be wearing a permagrin now!

No carbon for me...it was the green that came in. I love green and had wanted one in that shade since I drove a Solstice in '06. I thought that if I couldn't get green before the "event" ended, that was my sign to wait for cf.

Congratulations.

I just stopped by the dealer yesterday to see what Carbon Flash really looked like. I'm still leaning toward Bluestone (for nostalgic reasons), but I have to admit that it is a tempting choice.

Is there anything besides color that makes the "Carbon Flash Special Edition" be special?

Edit: Oops, I missed that last post.

Thanks all! Looks like Saturday may be the day. Colorado has a "no vehicles sold on Sunday" law, so if it gets delivered on Saturday, I may have to wait until Monday

BTW: SteveSky67....It's good to meet another Jedi! While I'm sure skywlkr is taken for a licence, I might be able to get mrajade

Welcome

Sure would like to take my Florida Sky to Colorado and run some of those roads. Sure I will get there one of these days.
Have a great time with your new car and your permagrin.

Arg!
The transport hauler was suppose to be here "by the end of the week". Just got a call...still no truck (or Sky).

Seems the trucker slow-down has held up my car (and permagrin)

So, probably Monday. (Car dealers are closed on Sunday here)

I can understand your frustration. Our Sky was stuck three hours away at a train depot for a week. It was worth the wait, you'll love your new ride

She's Home!

Picked up Mara last night (w00t!) Stopped in at the house for a little bit, and will be tooling out again shortly, but wanted to share a few pix I took last night:


As you can tell, I'm partial to green (Note my sweetie's car in the garage)



I haven't take the time to take pix with the top down...maybe tomorrow? Must get back on the road

Congrats !!, I took mine home last week, same color scheme. I haven't had enough daylight (before/after work) to shoot some decent pics. Now when someone asks for pics, I'm gonna reply "See Jade Sky's"

Have fun, I have!!!

Congrats on the RL

So are you a 2 Sky family or did you trade your 2.4 for the Redline? So let me ask you, having been driving a 2.4 all this time, is there that big of a difference between the two, performance-wise?
