A Two Saturn Family

Well, we are officially a two Saturn family. Trev had a little (and I mean little, you would not even believe that a 6'3" man fit comfortably) commuter car that we bought when we were living in Arizona. At the time, he had a 45-55 minute drive between work and home, and with gas being so expensive we sought out a used car that got great mileage. We found Howie (we name our cars for the sake of avoiding the "my car"/"your car" issue)... a two door Hyundai. Little Howie gained some serious mileage and then endured a cross-country tow from Arizona to North Carolina behind a Penske truck. Shortly after arriving in NC, we started noticing some things that lead us to believe that Howie's days were limited. Just recently, Trev was driving home from work when Howie's 5th gear fell out. So... it was time to start looking for a new car. Of course, it was not good timing. We are still trying to get rid of our house in Arizona, and in the mean time finances are tight, so taking on a new car payment sounded less than optimal. But we had to have a reliable car!

We were so excited to find this Saturn Ion. It's great... great gas mileage, wonderful sound system, only one year old (and still under warranty), all at a price that were we hoping for! And for those of you who remember, the color is almost exactly like my first Saturn! We love it!Of course, the big debate was what to name it. The Saturn VUE that we have is named Sally, so we tried to come up with something different. A lot of names were tossed around... Sammy? Susy? Sadie? Nothing seemed to work for us. So, I introduce you to Sally 2. Generally, I drive Sally and Trev drives Sally 2, but occasionally we mix it up a bit.
