Talk to me

Well, the 2002 Saturn has well over 90,000 miles. I had to replace the fan belt, the electric fan, and the brakes twice. Not bad. I'm thinking of getting the new Aura next.


Any advice is welcome, except from dealers. LOL.

Happy new year!

Did anyone tell you about the single fan belt that runs these motors? If it goes, everything goes; power steering, cooling, AC, alternator, everything. Oh, and if you replace the belt, you also need to replace the belt tensioner. One mechanic says 220.00 plus, but my old reliable mechanic did it for $100.00, parts included. Got 88000 miles off the original belt and tensioner. not too shabby.
Oh, got rear-ended the other week. Cost $1800.00 to fix. Less than 10 mph hit by a huge SUV with a lady driver on the phone. What else is new? I heard that Saturn is now using Honda motors. What do you think about that?
Buy American!

The 2002 Saturn is still running, still got a hole in it from that asshole that backed into it. And It still pretty much belongs to the bank. Maybe I can get them to fix it up. Yeah, right! Car runs fine. April will be two years we've had it. Still haven't met any other Saturn Family. Guess we're the red-headed step child of the bunch. Who needs groups anyway? That's what blogs are for. To keep you isolated from the social morass, and redefine your individuality. HaH!
Too bad there's not a therapist out there reading some of these unseen blogs. What do you have to do to get the attention you want? Ask around. No one gets the attention they want or deserve. Give it up. You are who you are, and whatever you do to try to change who you are, only reinforces who you are. So, get a grip already and keep smiling. Oh, if there were a therapist out there reading in here, you've got to hope that they are not government or corporately affiliated. Otherwise the rubber rooms would truly be packed. HAHAHAHAHa.

This just doesn't make any f**king sense at all. I should have thousands socked away for retirement. I should have at least one house paid for, and at least one new car paid for. I should have so much money coming in that I need a financial planner to help with the overflow. I should have more than enough to give to every good cause. I should be earning six figures for what I know, and what I can do. What the f**k is wrong? How the f**k can I change it? I am never going to make that six figure income working for a corporation. What am I supposed to be dong with what I know in order to generate the hundreds of thousands of dollars that are supposed to be coming to me? Damn, this is frustrating.

It was the best of days. It was the worst of days. For some supernatural reason, life was taking a major dive on our unsuspecting hero. The "fruit of his loins" was becoming spoiled and discarded. His heroine is deciding to fight battles on her own. And, mumu, the wonder dog/manatee was chasing her own tail. Funding for his next superstructure has been delayed. His poetry consists of plagiarized graffitti. His songs all sound like drunken country ballads. His best friend in the whole world has yet to materialize since being abducted by aliens in 1966. What's next? The dark forces of the universe held a meeting above his secret lair. They are trying to figure out a way to deflect the supernatural power source. Apparently, it is working to some degree. "Deflector shields to Maximum, Mr. Worff!." Why aren't our sensors picking up the distraction? To be continued...
