SOLD!

This little gold 1997 Saturn with 147k+ miles, no power nothin' and an iffy air conditioner (NOT a good thing in Las Vegas) is mine no more. It's been a great car. In August 2001, my dad and I drove out to Colorado with all of my belongings in this little trunk, and I've never looked back. I drove the car out to the California high desert in January 2003 and then over the Cajon Pass and into the smoggy Inland Empire in September 2003. I kept my college diploma in the trunk until October 2004-when a couple of misguided 14 year old boys stole the car, living out of it for a few days, until they were pulled over for blowing through a stop sign. The kids had stolen everything that could possibly have any value (sweatshirts, change, cds...), but left my diploma untouched. I figured that this was a sign, and decided to put my diploma somewhere 'safe', and I haven't seen it since! In October 2005, Dave hitched the car to the U-Haul truck and we headed to Vegas.

I loved this trusty little car-it was so reliable and I never had to worry about a dent, scratch or spill. It got me where I needed to go. So-now we're onto bigger (but probably can't find a better) car!

For the record, this little car sat outside of our dead end street for less than 24 hours with a 'For Sale' sign before we had an offer. Someone obviously could see what a great little car it is!

I think you should have traded back the Saturn to the original owner.

The better question: did the Saturn beat the Neesan?
