I tried. more to come(sorry -new to this posting pics game The car drove great!!! The chrome wheels look fantastic w/ the silver-they just sparkle!! the GM said that he spk w/ the truck driver as there were 6 solstices and my car on the truck and asked him to compare-he said the Sky was on a whole other level aove the solstice-tighter, better looks, handling, everything (just his humble opinion of course) but I totally agree!!!!eek: ) bu he said it shouldn't matter if reg or premium (don't worry, I've read the gas thread). we got a lot of looks at the station . he then said they normally drive it another 10 miles, but ince it only had 10 on it, he would let me drive back to the retailer:willy: . He pulled into a church parking lot and we had a bit of trouble finding the doorlocks, so he just cut off the engine and we switched places. The clutch was so smooth-like a hot knife through butter!! the shifter took a little getting use to, as I had never had a short-throw shifter like that. I tended to try to puch it farther down than needed, but it was a bit stiffer than I'm used to. BUt I will get used to it!!
This is sweet dude!! Dang I am just dying waiting. Maybe I'll fly out to NC catch a ride with ya!!NCBlue said:
The only thing I found in sitting in my Sky was getting out and closing the driver door-you had to really almost slam it to get it to be fully closed. the instant you put the key in the ignition, it fires up with a mighty purr and the display says "Saturn Sky" and displays the temp(it was 58 degrees and the mileage-it said "10 miles". the Tech Tommy-great guy-let me ride with him while he did the PDI-post dealer inspection(?) and he drove it to the gas station, and put in regular

than I was. We walked around back and I saw her from afar-the sculpted rearend and red shining taillights letting me know she was home at last. I recognized her signature silver pearl shining like a beacon, calling me to come closer. She was still covered with the protective white plastic rock guards(clingy plastic coating squares) and door "bumper" guards(? looked like rectangles of foam attached to the door areas). the inside still had the plastic steering wheel cover on it, as did the seats and floorboard. the chrome door sills had the blue plastic clinging to them(had to tell my mom that the blue comes off-she seemed kinda disappointed). we opened the hood and i got in and got my very first hug from my baby (everybody say awwwww). we then had to part ways, so I could get another camera!!! my digital one didn't download, it seems, so it was full and i could not figure out how to clear it (dang that new contraption!!) so we went inside and discussed the financing. they are going to try to meet my credit union rate, so that will be great!! GM's normal rate was lke 6.7/6.1 or so. no incentives for this baby!! oh well, I had planned on that and had been saving for a big downpayment. And I sold my 01SC2 (gone but not forgotten) so I will use that to help bring it down. I also got the extended warranty 100K miles(gonna put some miles on this baby-road trip anyone??? meet you on I-40!!!)The car turned out to be like $26320, then add on the First place finish to protect against paint fading or any interior wear, etc, and the clear bra is $499 for the heft(yet reasonable) sum of $27218. under $30k and a schwweeeeeet ride!!!!!
