Not sure the last time I saw any Saturn, let alone a Sky.

Also, Los Angeles I am in you

The Sky has held its value remarkably well. Like shockingly well.

Welcome to the best coast, man. Enjoy the sweet freeways.

I have many words for this freeway, sweet isn't one of them

Really? I see about 10-15 Saturns a day . Almost all of them are the last few years, where they were mostly the steel-paneled Opel/Chevy models (Aura, Relay, etc)

Sadly, none from the first generation, which was the best generation.

I swear that for a domestic brand, Saturn still has some enthusiasts out there.

I’m sorry you can’t appreciate a concrete freeway.

WHAT WAS THAT, I CANT HEAR YOU OVER ALL THE DAMN NOISE THIS JOINTED CONCRETE FREEWAY MAKES. For those rare occassions where a freeway doesnt have traffic on it in LA, that is how I feel when driving on them. Ive timed my trips on the 405 to LAX such that there isnt much traffic (miraculously) and man does that road hurt at speed.

Welcome to LA! I have seen the largest volume of defunct or otherwise rare cars here versus anywhere else I have ever been. There are a few people at work with Saturns that I have seen, they always stick out to me no matter what dumb model it is. There is a guy with a Sky as well (or is it a Solstice? dont remember ). Anyways, enjoy the weather since everything happens to not be on fire here right now. There is actually a nonzero chance of rain in the forecast so who knows if chaos will ensue.

Doing anything fun out here?

Hot take:

Had they put the redline engine into all of them, and an LS into the Redline models, they’d still be around today.

One can dream, anyway.

Also, I saw a Solstice with what I believe were dirty Cokers on it earlier. I may have to go back for a pic, but it wasn't a great look.

405 is nasty under any conditions. It’s the most congested freeway in the US and the curve (you know where I’m talking about) is actually not up to proper interstate standards, which is one of the reasons the traffic is so unconscionable.

And they are noisy, but the traction, oh that sweet, sweet traction.

There’s a lovely green Sky with tan top and tan interior that I see often in the summer. I like it a lot

Some of the freeway around Duluth is like that for water shedding and in an attempt to stop black ice from forming. It is noisey as heck but I’ll agree with you climbing uphill or going down a curved freeway at 75 while it me raining with nothing but grip is amazing

Out in the desert someplace I presume?

I am very glad I don’t commute into LA, it seems like pretty much every freeway is nasty lol. It is bad enough on the weekend, I cant imagine what weekdays in peak traffic are like. Apparently the 101 from where I live to about the 134 is constantly ranked the worst stretch of highway in the entire world though. Although, I feel like much of what makes the 101 bad there is the intersection with the 405. There needs to be a mirrored 101 with absolutely no connection to the 405 in any direction.

My dad's got a sky redline with a tune. It's a fun car.

One of the guys I autocross with runs a Sky Redline. Pretty cool car and makes wonderful turbo noises.

Hopefully the smoke is not too bad up there. Last time I went through the grapevine it was pretty hazy over on that side and smelled like you were in a camp fire.
