My Valentine’s Day present came a couple of days early this year with a GORGEOUS 2008 Saturn Sky Redline in yellow!
We test drove a Pontiac Solstice and a Saturn Sky over the weekend and I decided that the Sky was for me. I test drove both stick and automatic, and much to my surprise, the automatic transmission outperformed the stick!
There was a used 2007 Saturn Sky Redline in silver that was used and a nice price compared to the showroom 2008 yellow one I was drooling on. Chuck had me talked into the silver one and the deal was set. I was trading in my 2001 Pontiac Aztek for the 2007 silver Saturn Sky.
We got to the dealership last night, and I was sad because the yellow one I kept ogling was gone. I said, “Aww, someone bought the yellow one… they moved it, where is it?” Then I noticed it’d been moved further down the showroom so I figured they were putting another car into its showroom slot. I glanced around the lot looking for the silver Sky thinking to myself, “Don’t they usually put the car you’re going to buy up closer? Weird, I don’t see it yet.”
So the dealer greets us and says, “So, are you ready to go see your car?” I grin and they say to me, “Go find it” — cheering me on with a “You’re getting warmer”… But I’m perplexed because they’re walking kinda towards the yellow 2008. Not even daring to get my hopes up, I start looking past the yellow one, eyes scanning the lot for the silver one, and they both stop in front of the yellow one.
My heart stopped. I could hardly breathe, and Chuck says, “Here’s your car!” The 2008 Saturn Sky Redline… in the hottest yellow you can imagine. I gave him a huge hug and had tears in my eyes — even the dealer had tears in his eyes too. The car is incredible, I absolutely love it. Even woke up and peeked in the garage before getting ready for work this morning. :)
