'I Miss My Sat-er-in' My son bought a new Saturn in 1993 or 1994, I'm not certain of the year. The Saturn was still going strong in 2000 until the day my daughter-in-law drove to pick up my two grandsons from school and someone ran a red light, hit them broadside and totalled the Saturn.

300 Feet Down a Snowy Ditch On December 1, 1996 I was driving my '96 SL1 cross-country from New York to Wisconsin. Just north of Chicago, it began to snow so hard that I started to look for a way to exit I-90 and find a hotel room for the night.

A Different Kind Of Owner's Story It seems like just yesterday that my wife and I took delivery of our new L300; it'll be two months on Christmas Eve. I've gotten many e-mails from folks wondering about how our search, sales, and delivery process unfolded. Even though I've been a Saturn fan for more than half my life, the L300 is our first Saturn; neither my wife nor I have ever owned one before. Here is our story.

A Lonely Saturn It was a pretty cold night in Buffalo, like many nights are during the winter. I had just gotten out of school, and was really looking forward to going home and watching some TV.

Back to Saturn My wife and I purchased out first Saturn, a loaded '92 SL2 just after we moved to Ann Arbor MI in the summer of 1992. I knew we were on to something when we had to take a number, and wait in line for a test drive at the dealer.

Car Shopping on Bicycles Shortly after my wife and I got married we decided that we finally needed to buy a car. Up to this point, we had walked, biked, or taken the bus anywhere we needed to go.

Colliding With a Semi Truck The thing about safety features is, you never know when you might need them. One single minute of my life changed the way I think about words like "spaceframes" and "crossbars" and "crumple zones."

Derailing a Train - Survivor Story We were coming over a hill approaching a railroad crossing, when we saw a car waiting there and a train traveling along the tracks. To avoid hitting the car and pushing it into the train I went down the right side of the road into the ditch and hit the train head-on!

Drag Racing an SL2 This is a story about the different kind of car. I guess not only is the SL2 a different kind of car, but I really am a different kind of owner. I drag race my SL2 for competition. My favorite story to tell is the night I won my ticket to Indy and being at Indy.

Driving the Future My best Saturn experience came, when I actually got to drive the LS, it was almost 9 months ago. You see I used to work at the Wilmington plant where the LS is being produced.

Drunk Driving Accident My story is a little more serious. When my son, who drives like a young male, graduated from high school I bought him a '93 SC2 (black with everything). Seeing a Saturn on the evening news after it had an unexpected meeting with a semi on a nearby bridge convinced me (the driver was standing next to what was left of the car doing an interview).
