saturn resurrected

now that the grand prix is down for the count, it was time to get the ol' saturn back in working order.  after it died in griffith, i took the grand prix in to the shop to get looked at and they told me that there was nothing they could do to fix it- it was beyond repair.  so, off the the scrap heap with it!  that meant that we needed to get the saturn up and running or else we were going to be stuck.  we brought it over to dexters and he took a look at it.  he spent a few days with it and figured out what the problem was, and now its running perfect!  it was only a hundred and fifty bucks to fix.  its a good thing we brought it in because the original plan was to scrap the saturn a couple months ago- now we are so glad we procrastinated!  now i'm taking this little silver guy back and forth to work, and wow what a difference it has made with gas.  the grand prix would get about 25 miles to the gallon, but this thing gets 37!  thats right- 37!  that money for the repair has already been saved in the first two weeks of driving it!  and to be honest, as nice and cushy as that grand prix was, i actually prefer this little guy!  although, i do miss the cruise control...
