Take half your beater budget and buy a set of snows for your Saturn. It’s depreciating about as fast as picked fruit if you drive it in the winter or not so you might as well drive it. ---

It’s depreciating about as fast as picked fruit if you drive it in the winter or not so you might as well drive it. i have snows. i cant put the car on the road because its throwing a code because of the built motor in it, therefor i cannot register/inspect it. otherwise i would be driving that right now. i dont have any time to work on it and swap motors cuz i work all the time. thats why i just need something fast. ---

If you do end up buying one, you might as well buy another saturn. At least if nothing else then you have it for a parts car. ---
