Finally got around to joining on here, glad I finally did. I’m probably just about the only person into messing with Saturns around here, at least conservatively. I drive a 99 Saturn SL2 on springs with some basic bolt on stuff for now until after school when the real fun begins. I live out in Akron but frequent the Lancaster/Depew/Williamsville area quite often. Hoping to be even lower this summer on my coils and be at some get-togethers! ---

There are a few people here who started out with Saturns actually. Welcome 👋 ---

I have a few friends in the area that used to be into them bigtime back when SDA still existed in Tonawanda. Hope to buck the trend this summer being that guy in a slammed Saturn haha. ---

Looks clean…never saw the huge appeal of the brand but we all start somewhere. ---

Yeah it’s the unique factor and original aim of the brand for me. The fact that I never see anyone else in a similar car is what does it for me. Plus these motors respond quite well to positive pressure. ---

Thanks, in the summer I’ll be out cleaning it damn near daily. Hoping that keeping it clean will overshadow it being a Saturn. ---
