The Saturn you speak of is an Opel Vectra. The Saturn Astra is an Opel Astra. The powertrains are from Opel as well. They are not like the Saturn of old.

I don't have any plans to purchase a car for the next several years. Will be moving into a place near Downtown Houston soon with easy access (bus or rail) into town within 10 minutes. Don't see the point if I'm going to be shuttling between IAH and SHV most of my weekends, and can just rent cars when absolutely necessary (and maintain National Exec Elite). No sense in paying insurance and maintenance costs on something I'll barely ever use.

Looking ahead, though, I do really like the Honda Fit. Unfortunately, the only place I know that rents them in large quantities is the SJU Hertz.

Considered going to FRA as well. Like from most other origination cities, fares to FRA have cratered (even by FRA standards) from BNA. Not being able to UG TATL stopped me.

Actually, from what I've heard through the Significant Otter, the number of men she runs across who are needle-phobes greatly exceeds the number of women.

Thanks :)

I purchased the Apple adapter on eBay for about 1/3 of the regular cost. To charge your iPhone/iPod, just plug it in to the MBP connected to empower.

They definitely are not the "traditional" Saturns but the likelihood of the Saturn nameplate being offed is something to consider in resale value (always detrimental).

I would agree with that.

Don't p.o. the Significant Otter or she's liable to one up the needle route and go I.O. (I've also seen angry RN's do catherization on violent drunks sans lube. :eek:)

I can't even watch that. I felt a little light headed after just reading the description. :p

I used to hate them as well until I needed to give myself injections in the leg for a treatment.

Good Morning Box.

This is quite true. In my previous life I drew blood quite a bit and the number of males that were squeamish far outnumbered the females.
