Well, I guess I'm glad the Saturn was more bent out of shape than I was. I did spend the next couple of days at home with a ringing headache, and I still get headaches a lot easier than I did. Head injuries stink, I got off easy. But I do miss my Saturn. I never worried about anyone denting the doors. Ever. At 2400lbs, it never lumbered (though taking it on the 5 at speed was sometimes a little too exciting in cross-winds). Lots of glass made it easy to see out of, and the tan interior kept the car cool. They don't make low, lightweight cars with lots of glass anymore -- they like to replace visibility with airbags these days.
It would have been nice to photo the two cars together.
Even better had I ever bought that yellow 3-door version -- contrasting colors would make for an interesting set of photos. :shrug:
[And that lack might just tip the scales in favor of those black&yellow seat covers that everyone's been telling me that I should never, ever put in the car

Well, from the front. With all the serious business in the back, the rear is a little large. I vaguely remember watching a video of the 12c vs aventador vs ferrari where I came away thinking how big the backends were.
And I dunno about the Fiskers -- they look ok in those pics. I think the dropped lip (and fangs -- whaddya call those protrusions on the bottom of the bumper?) on the fr-s makes the front look a little ... more.

Come on down dude, the used ones are reasonably priced starting at about $175k

On a Spider with the upgraded wheels and brakes? Well, in that case I'll rush right down. Y'know it's that first $100k of depreciation that hurts the most....
