Our neighbors across the street have an odd assortment of cars.

They drive this Galant, a 2008 Chrysler Sebring sedan (four-cylinder, total base model) and one of their kids has a 2006 Scion tC. The tC is the only one I'd drive.

What's funny is this Galant is an '09 or '10, I believe, but when they start it to go somewhere, it sounds horrible. It doesn't even want to start sometimes! Strange.

Of course, my wife and I are the weirdo dual Mazda owners, so I guess I can't say much.

We own the weird cars on my street:

Lifted, hail damaged 2004 Silverado

Trashed, pedophile-white, gold pinstriped 1994 Safari

Belongs to a dead brand 2008 Vue

Also, am I the only one who thought the Galant was a handsome car that was a few mechanical upgrades away from being a good car?

Nope! I always thought they looked very nice, particularly in top-of-the-line form. The powertrains and refinement just weren't there, though. Nor was the dealership support.

Speaking of dealers, a Mitsubishi dealer took over the building where the Saturn dealer we bought my mom's Vue from was. Way to jump from a dead brand to a dying brand.

Whoa! Same thing happened somewhere around me. Saturn dealer, to Mitsubishi dealer, to Cadillac dealer.

Well, there is a Cadillac dealer next door.

I'm creeped the fuck out, because they took over the Mitsu dealer to expand on the expanses of the Caddy dealer. Where did you get the car?

Lou Fusz Saturn in St. Charles, Missouri.

Oh, Haha. Not the same place, but eerily similar.
