I was a dyed in the wool Saturn lover.  I owned not one, but two Saturn station wagons, gold, with roof racks.  I started with the 4-cylinder engine and graduated later to the 6-cylinder.  I would have kept that last one forever.  But GMC intervened.  They stopped making parts for it.  Eventually, my mechanic barred me from his shop.  He never wanted to see my beloved wagon again.

How do you replace the love of your life?  With a Subaru Outback.  At first, I didn’t like it very well.  Then I got used to it.  Then I got to like it.  Now, I’m quite fond of it, but it will never replace the love that I have in my heart for my Saturn.  I sold it to Subaru as a trade-in, and they sold it almost immediately rather than scrapping it for parts.  When I see a gold Saturn wagon on the road, I have to get a closer look.

It’s OK.  It’s a good road trip vehicle.  And the sound system works well, so I can sing along for hours on the road.
