  • May 10, 2013 #customize your sin I know Automobile didn't care much for Saturn, but I owned a 1993 SC2 and loved it. After 14 years of daily driving I bought a new car and gave the old SC2 to my Dad. My nephew drives it everyday now with 300K on the engine. I still miss that car.

  • May 10, 2013 #badgirl I was asked to pick-up milk on the way home from work and while driving from the store, had to make a quick, brake squealing stop. The milk slid under my seat where it was forgotten...for a month...in the summer.

  • April 9, 2013 #carobsessions I have a recurring dream in which I drive through Alaska and there are bears, moose, eagles and other animals standing by the side of the road watching me go past in my Land Cruiser. Sort of Bambi meets Rambo. Maybe I will actually do this someday.

  • April 9, 2013 #customize your sin When I was in high school my friend Bill and I would take turns seeing how fast we could get my ma's turbo SAAB to go over the steepest longest bridge in town. I also bent 3 of the wheels on that car. My mom blamed my dad and my dad blamed my mom.

  • March 2, 2013 #policeblotter I was doing 138 in a 55 at 4am & my drunk buddy told me a tow truck was catching up to us. Of course, I realized it must be a state bear, so I dropped the hammer & got off the next exit & parked in the airport lot for a while to wait out the patrols.

  • February 26, 2013 #carobsessions My dear old car will turn over 272,000 miles tomorrow; not bad for something that was written off as "dead" over the holidays. Old cars rule! Celebratory drive tomorrow along the coast. Happy 272K, old guy.

  • February 1, 2013 #hatemycar BMW=Big Money Wasters: Own (2) 2002 325xi and I've never had a file so full of repair and part receipts. What goes bad on #1 goes bad on #2. I've replaced so many things I've n-e-v-e-r replaced on any other car. Will the real TCO please stand up!

  • January 31, 2013 #policeblotter I had received a few too many speeding tickets and had to take a state run driver course. Most of us were wrong when to signal for a turn, the correct answer was 50 ft and we said 500 ft. We decided at the speeds we traveled we should signal sooner.

  • January 27, 2013 #carobsessions I love the new Audis......except. I think the front end grill is too tall from top to bottom. To me it looks too clumsy and not as refined as it should look for such a sophisticated car.
