well, yeah, but hey, I was just trying to answer the poor guy's question. I mean, just cause he has a saturn doesn't mean we can't help him while we pity him. Just kidding 94 saturn, but Five0 has a point. You'd be better off getting a better car to start with.

well, to start with the money you'd get from the saturn sale your best bet would definitely be a honda civic or crx. If you have more money than that to start with you could look at mitsubishis, or toyotas (personally I love the older corollas and MR2s with the 4ag engine, which can be built quite well), or even into some kind of domestic (I prefer older muscle that is easier to do the wrench work by oneself, but if you don't have the time it's not a good idea so I don't do it myself). This sure ain't the end all list, so hopefully someone else will come on with some recommendations that my tired brain has missed.
