Bob ain't the guy with the Saturn in his sig.  I am.

The Saturn has a torquey 2.4 variable-valve twink with a nice smooth 5-speed 
manual, not the vanilla 2.2 and slushbox. It also has a plastic body that won't 
disolve in the winter here in the salt capital of the world.  I like it just 
fine, and really couldn't care less if you don't.
