Last summer I sold my 2000 Saturn to an old lady with an SUV who said she needed something smaller and more economical for running all over town. At the time it was kind of sad, and even now, as much as I enjoy our new car, I still miss my little Saturn now and then, if I stop to think of it. I have a lot of fond memories of that car.
Well, today I saw it. At lunchtime, I pulled into the bank parking lot just a few blocks from work, and there it was! I parked two spaces away. I knew for certain it was my Saturn, because it still had my community college sticker on the bumper, and the shamrock sticker Mary brought me from Ireland in the back window. Everything else looked pretty much the same. The steering wheel even still had on the same soft gray cover.
There was a lady sitting behind the wheel. It was not the old lady I sold the car to, but it might have been her daughter. Or…perhaps the old lady sold the car to someone else? I don’t know. And it’s really not my business anymore, is it? But still, it was nice to see the old car, and to see my old stickers. Brought back some good memories.
Hey Chris – I used to have a Saturn too!! Great little cars!! I ended up selling mine to my friend’s daughter and getting an SUV. I needed something that wouldn’t get stuck in the snow because it’s very rare that my company closes in bad weather.

Snow! Ha Ha! No, that has not ever been a problem for me. 🙂
Chrissy: Why did you sell your Saturn? You never did mention that. Love, Aunt Barbara
Last summer Russ’ parents decided to get a brand new car and offered us their “old” car at a fabulous price. It was an offer we couldn’t refuse, since we moved up from a 2000 to a 2003, and from a 4-cylinder Saturn to a 6-cylinder Buick LeSabre. It’s a beautiful car (red!) with all the bells and whistles! My little Saturn was getting a little “wheezy” and complaining about some of the hills around here, so a more powerful car made sense. I don’t regret getting the new car, but I still think very fondly of the old Saturn.
