On my way home from the sandy Rhode Island Beaches yesterday, I was back near my hometown, and kind of weary from my battle with traffic. However, something out of the corner of my eye made me perk up.
A late model (99-01) Saturn 4 door sedan (not the L series, the small one) was on Rt.34 going on the opposite direction, at a light. While the was red, and I was facing him, i got to check out his nasty ride.
Picture this~~ Teal Blue 4 door saturn, HUGE aluminum wing on the back that extended above the roofline(aren't the FWD I wondered??) the body panels were laden with stickers, and I think i can remember a Japanese character or two (aren't they a GM, hmm, last time I checked??)
Then the ultimate ... Staring me right in the face was a black "Le Bra" on his hood with the words "SATURN TYPE R" painted, and yes I mean took a paintbrush and painted, on the bra.
I then pondered, when he "launches" from this light, will I hear the ever so distinct sound of the 1. whatever liter motor with its coffee can muffler?? Alas, my brothers, the hard tuned Saturn punched his automatic, and the swarm of bees ::BBBBBZZZZZZ,BBZZZZZZ, BZZZZZZZ:: came.
As he floored it, and sprinted at such a high rate of speed, probably around 25mph (the POS ford pickup passed him out next to him, BTW, with no problem) I wondered, is this kid really ******* serious?? He must have thrown out all the medication his doctor gave him.
I hope and pray that I am blessed with seeing this car again, in a parking lot, so I can take a few pictures of this immaculate work of art. I need to share my amazement, disbelief, and utter nauseousness with all of you.
