How the other half lives

[TheWastedYears]

So... RL's in the shop, and they gave me a loaner car: 2002 Saturn SL1A.

Man, this thing won't go. It won't stop (which is pretty shocking for a car that won't go.) It won't corner. I won't be able to take my friend to lunch tomorrow, b/c there's a hill between my office and restaurant and I don't think the car will make it w/ both of us in it.

How on earth do people do it?!?!?!

Ahhh yes Saturn of York Road's loaners. Is it the grey one? Whats it in the shop for?

[TheWastedYears]

It's some grey/blue piece. I think the window motors have more torque than the engine.

BCM is going bad. Right window scratched my tint. A/C Recirculation stopped working (which is prolly the fault of Best Buy or Circuit City, since it stopped working when they were attempting to install my stereo)

[crazybrew609]

the BCM and the window have TSB for them.. and your fucked about the re-circulator unless they think it's going bad by itself..

oh and SL1's suck

[TheWastedYears]

Yeah... it's all TSB stuff. I'm hoping they'll take pity on me and fix the recirc. since the car's been there 104 times in 2 yrs.

Talk to Matt Beckman the service manager, he knows that car very well. Tell him it pulls to the left and I am sure he will scream and run out into moving traffic.

Hehe, I drove a Corolla recently when I was on travel. That thing was like a wind-up toy. When I picked up my RL at the airport, I just wanted to drive and drive and drive!

I talked to him a few weeks ago, when I stopped in to get a printout of all the work performed on the car. Seems like a nice guy.
