12. "RE: A shadowy flight, etc."
In response to message #3
 
   I will add to the idea that Saturns are unkillable. I had a 2001 Saturn SL myself, around 140,000, and only traded it in last year because of the "Big Oil Adventure", where the drain plug had come loose and I wound up putting about 4 miles on it with no oil in it at all... and the only indication it gave after that this had been significant abuse was the MPG dropping from around 37 to under 30. Seriously, it wasn't giving any indication (noise, power loss, etc) that it was actually going to die, but we still prudently retired it from anything other than the required driving.

My current ride is a 2015 Subaru Impreza, in the manual transmission flavor, and as basic as a modern car gets. I feel like I'm driving a goddamned computer center.</mccoy>

Although what we did when it came time to determine the replacement is I took my husband and a friend to the local big car show where they were showing the new stuff (Denver has a pretty damned sweet one at the convention center in June or July every year), and we sat in over a dozen cars, since one of the car's roles was intended to be "in state road trip with a full back seat of people". The only other car that felt truly usable was the soon-to-be-discontinued Scion Xb. Outside of hauling big stuff, I haven't regretted my decision.
