Group gone?

Has this group gone deathly quiet? Has everybody lost interest in
Saturn? Or is everybody on vacation?

I've had the same feeling for months now. Maybe someone knows.

Seems that it has gone quiet while web sites like SaturnFans have gone up in
activity. I miss my old friends from here, Oppie, Lane? where are you guys?

 

Most newsgroups see lower traffic during the summer -- people are on vacation,
enjoying the outdoors, doing yardwork....

Me, I haven't had anything go wrong with either of my Saturns lately ('96 SL2,
'99 SL2), and nobody's asked any questions, either, so I haven't had anything
to post about.

 

Was wondering if everybody just went over to Saturnfans.com or what?
I answered a few posts over the past few months about L series and never
even got a thank you reply.

I check this group regularly and find it easier to navigate than digging
through saturnfans (which I am registered for but rarely use).

Regardless, wishing all a good summer.

Present and accounted for, Sir! <grin>
Hey, I'm a die hard. Heck, I still check the Junkyard-wars group even though
the show has been gone (in the USA) for years.

I still read in here .. my 98 Saturn still running like a champ - hit
the whopping 74,000 miles a week ago. I've driven 134 miles since July
17, a little over my average but I did drive 24 miles round trip on July
19 to a picnic.

I'd be hard pressed to buy a new vehicle today - I really appreciate my
Saturn's dependability.

Lemme regress - I WON'T buy a new vehicle <hehehe>.

 

Sheesh, my 97 SL2 has over 205,000 MILES on it. Still runs good, but
some stuff is starting to bug me. I may look at a new car around year-end.

I sure hope a few of you regulars stick around. I just bought my first
Saturn a few months ago (2008 VUE - 3.6 AWD) and my son has an SL1 (I think
it's 4 or 5 years old). I tend to keep my cars a little longer than most and
like to work on them myself when possible. My last car was a 91 Ford Mustang
XL and the day the Firemen extricated me from it it had 325,000+ Km and had
only seen a mechanic about 4 times in 18 years. I find the cramped engine
compartment in the VUE a little intimidating at the moment, but I am sure by
the time the 3 year bumper to bumper warrantee is up I will feel more
inclined to get my hands dirty keeping it in running order.

Still looks like most of the posts have gone over to
http://www.saturnfans.com/forums/
but you'll still see some of us here.
