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.

Rumor Has It

Rumor has it that all west coast Dealer SKYs are finished and will be shipped tomorrow, 02/28/06. Anyone confirm this? I wish I could find that darned SHADOW, very elusive individual! It is my theory that rail cars will be roliing, rolling, rolling. get them railcars rolling. People on west coast should find out where the depots are and start observing what is offloaded within the next few weeks. II know there is a hub in Kansas City where Saturns are dispersed to midwest and south, (Texas Okla,). All west bound railcars are Union Pacific, south bound freights via Burlington Northern.
I know of a big hub in Ft Worth where some of the Texas bound Saturns are delivered. MIght Have to take a Sunday drive here in a couple of weeks and try to prove my theory!! Waiting on dealer to call about my status, will advise. Tomorrow should definitely show some change.

And as Ernest is sitting in a car waiting for the train to pass he sees the Skys in loaders with hobos waving at passerbys. Ah Ernest life is not fair. At least the autos are locked while being transported. Skip...

This reminds me of my youth... The first car I bought was a 1968 ChevyII. It was in Rally Green. My dealer told me afterwards that he got into a bit of trouble as he was not supposed to order a car in RG until after the auto show here in Chicago. Well one day I was waiting at a crossing for a train to go by... Rail cars filled with Chevies.... And one - gleaming CII in Rally Green!!
That was a Sunday -- Tuesday got the call to come pick er up!!

Uplifting story, next time I hear a rumor about shipping to this area, I will drive over to the railyards where the depot is and do some reconnaissance, however I will already know it is on its way, from the dealer but the sheer adventure of it will be fun.

Where are you getting all these rumors you are starting? I have some very good sources and none of your rumors have ever been proven correct.

Oh, I don't know, just pop up in my head, it is interesting to get feed back, and as stated before, more for people to talk about, and to pass the time, and who knows, maybe my ideas are true? Who knows, but the SHADOW, and it ain't talking, or is he? Best thing to do is to sit back and see what develops, don't you agree, who knows I might even be right? Or I might even be wrong? However I mean no harm.

Theories based on rumors are all we have to go on so why not fantasize a little? And I kind of like the one that is going around..gives me something to think about as I roll my eyes back into my head, napping. AAHHHH!

Not quite sure how you meant that, so I'll take it with a grain of something or other. Rumors are the only thing other that interest in a great car that keeps this forum alive!

So you actually just made all of this up rather than hearing it somewhere? heh

it was a joke, all rumors do is get people worked up and if they fall flat it gets people mad at Saturn NOT at the person that spread the rumor... unless I hear something from more than one source and they both seem reliable i will not pass it on...of course some people start rumors to cause trouble, and those definatly need to stop...

I dont think there is one piece of credible information on this forum. I hate coming home every night and reading all this crap, getting my hopes up that I will soon be driving my Sky only to have them shattered by my sales person, who BTW knows absolutely nothing and never calls me back. But here i sit, every single night. It's kinda like a train wreck, you just have to look. Oooo sorry west coast, bad choice of words.
