You should try a ozone generator. I bought one from Amazon for under a $100 for a car with horrible dog stench and slight mildew after about 8 hours of cleaning the carpet, etc... it was my last hope. A few cycles with the ozone generator later the car smelled 97% better.Quote:

Sebring Black Crystal, brand new with temp tags... Someone's hooning in Aspen.
Title shouldn't be "The Best New Station Wagons of 2021," it should be "The Only Station Wagons of 2021."Quote:

Believe it.

I too was skeptical.
Manual? That doesn't seem right. Cool of it's true though.
Crazy! Dealer shoulda sold on BAT. Would've gone for a gazillion dollars.

Cool car but it has 2 pedals unless someone spent a boatload converting it aftermarket. f31 was auto only in the states with gas or diesel options. e91 was the last manual. I bet a diesel f31 gets close to double my 20mpg average though.Quote:

It’s nice to dream.
I've always had a soft spot for wagons and I finally picked one up a couple weeks ago. I've been driving a 99 Jeep Cherokee (sagging bad enough that it looks like a wagon, ha) but I got a new job that requires more driving so I needed something more fuel efficient.
I picked up this little 97 Saturn SW2 on Craigslist... 115k, 5 speed, 1.9 DOHC. I've put over 1k miles on it and it's getting getting 32 MPG. It only weights 2400lbs so it actually moves pretty quick. Skis fit just right between the front seats!

Well, I'll be. Didn't think i would see a Saturn wagon in here. They made em, and not many, for like 6 years or something. I had a Saturn in High School for about 7 months. Thing had a cd player on a tray attachment from radio shack.
nice - those things are pretty bombproof! Extra points for the stick! Looks extra clean.... That post begs another question - What's under the cover?
What did you use to beat back all the women?Quote:

They all came running back when my next car turned out to be an 89 Tempo with the mahogany crushed velour seats. Even the dash was red.Quote:

I spent a year constantly deciding if I wanted to go mad from dinging or honk at inappropriate times.
That car also had an Eazy E tape stuck in the player and a miswired harness so the wipers and lights were interchanged. No one else could figure out how to drive that car in inclement weather. Ran into a cat on the way to school and had it wedged somewhere in the engine bay for months until it finally burned off. Fuck that thing smelled.
I cant tell either, but it looks close to PT Cruiser styling. Chrysler is my guess though.Quote:

My buddy had the upmarket Mercury Topaz in the same red.
His came with a baby spice sticker on the dash. Custom.
Sellers photos, but I think he mentioned a scion? The westy was in equally good condition, he gave me a tour. The guy was a friend of carroll shelby and owned two shelby cobras back in the day--he had pics to prove it. This saturn was his baby and he had all the original goodies and extras for me. He loved it so much I felt guilty for buying it, haha.Quote:

This one has the original tape deck of course. I actually found a Bluetooth adapter that is the same dimensions as a casset that you just slide in and pair with your phone... Pretty amazing.Quote:
