3/5/2007: I added another page to my site for the stuff that I will be parting out of my wrecked car, and also the stuff that I do not need on my new car. The newest part for sale is the rims off of my new car. Details on page 5.

Well, the recent icey events in TN lead to the tragic end of yet another Saturn's life. I was cruising into work 2 weeks ago when I hit a patch of ice at about 20 mph, which sent my car sliding into an 8 foot ditch. Unfortunately the ditch was also a steep drop, so my flipped onto its roof and slid for approximately 50 feet before a tree stump came through my windshield, and one tire hit a tree.

The morning of...

I did find a new ride fairly quickly though, as there was a 95 SC2 that was put up for sale shortly before I trashed my car. I picked her up a week and a day later. I will make a list of the things that have been done to her soon, but for now, you will just have to enjoy the pictures that I have. More will be coming shortly, as I have a 2 inch drop to do, as well as a 5 speed manual transmission swap.

This is my Saturn Domain. It is only featuring my car right now, but I hope to have more, as there are many more rolling around here since I did mine.

This is the first bad picture of my car, sorry. I need daytime pictures but I have to get a new camera first. As you can sorta tell, I have upgraded the wheel and tire package. I have put on a set of 17" Gunmetal rims from RIAX (ebay special), wrapped with Toyo Proxes' 205/40ZR17s. I have also upgraded the suspension, all done by me with Sprint's 2" Drop Coil Springs. It took me a while, I ran into toooo many problems doing this job, but it looks nice now. The fog lights are courtesy my future wife.

Another picture of my second beauty. This is a picture of the recently rebuilt motor. I also added the strut bar a couple of days ago.

This is an old picture. Alot has changed since then.

This is a better picture of the wheels and tires, but it rained all day, so pardon the mud on the tires. These are my old wheels and tires. I will post pics of the new ones in a couple days.

My gauges, courtesy Saturn Performance, only cost me $4.08, plus gas. But it is a Saturn, so gas is no problem, at least right now, as I plan to put a Turbo on from Turbonetics, or Garrett in January. Once again, these are old and I have since swapped these out for the more expensive $12 reverse glow set. Pics in a couple of days.

I would post a picture of my "system", but I don't exactly have one just yet. I have a Pioneer Head Unit and 4 Pioneer 6 1/2s, but I do not yet have my sub, and amp hooked up. The sub is a Pioneer 12, in a Wal-Mart Special box, with a Pioneer 760W amp. I will hook them up and post updates as soon as I can get my sub working. I am on a tight budget, as I am sure most of us Saturn drivers are, or else we would not be driving Saturns.
