Alright, this is for real. This car - a Saturn Sky convertible - was at my hsop for an oil change today, and I just had to take pics. The owner didn't mind - in fact, he's won a number of "People's Choice" awards at auto shows.

The visor:


The center console:


The inside of the hood (bonnet) :


The license plate (can't see the center brake light, which shows "The Force" when lit) :

No blasters?

Weak.

Well, it had Magnaflow exhausts and the 2.0 turbo...

Yeah, but what's it's Hyperdrive rating?

I'm not sure if thats cool or creepy. Maybe a bit in between.

Not bad. I like how he stayed classy. Instead of things like a plastic lightsaber for the parking break.

OK, smart guy. It was illegible on my cell phone.

Yeah, I'd drive that.

"whip?" You kids and your slang. Awesome care though.

Decent car too.

I don't quite get the painting under the hood thing though. If my hood is any indication that's not gonna last long.

Yeah, they are nice cars. It wasn't (IIRC) the direct-injected turbo model, but still - 170 bhp for a 2800-lb. car with a perfect 50/50 weight distribution ain't bad. As to the hood... *shrug* dunno. They seem to hold up pretty well around here, and the salt air generally wreaks havoc with frames that aren't e-coated and finishes without a clearcoat.

*EDIT* my bad, I went and looked at the pics again. It IS the turbocharged model - about 240 bhp, wide torque curve, 18" chromes, and limited-slip rear differential.

I was using the French spelling of car. Yeah.
