Silver RL Spotted in North Park (Pgh)

I saw a Silver RL with a big wing driving through North Park last weekend (Sunday 10/8). Anyone on here?

originally from Monroeville (saw one in the parking lot at Monroeville Mall a while back), but now I live in the Southside. From what I remember, there's a member here that lives in the Southside too that has it, I'm amazed I haven't seen it yet.

I have a blue one (w/ mesh grill), and work in downtown. Might see me driving around.

I also see another blue one w/o the front air dam grill on the Blvd. of the Allies every weekday around 5:30 pm. Younger guy. Can never catch his attention, though Also, I see a silver one w/o aero spoiler running around downtown...and illegally parking in PPG Place all the time.

hrm surprised I didn't come across the guy on the Blvd, I ride that once or twice a week at that time, and if I had a car as uncommon as the RL I'd definitely be keeping my eyes out for people with the same. Though I am curious who the Monroeville one was.

I think this weekend I might stop by a saturn dealership and get a REAL test drive on an 06, hopefully with comp package (I didn't go over like 4-5k rpm my first test drive) and see what kinda numbers they give me.

Actually on that note, the Saturn of Pleasant Hills, any chance either of you know if they do have a comp package one there?

They don't. I was there on Monday getting my oil changed. And their parts counter didn't even know what the comp. package was, let alone the ladder tach.

They do have a red '05, though, new, w/ aero wing. Might be able to talk them down since the '06s are coming out

Keep in touch. Always good to have another RL owner around the Burgh

I should be able to talk them down to a decent price, if they have one right there, even better. I'll probably hit them up in the next couple days, and the Monroeville one again. Aero wing, I'm debating if I'd want that, the fact it's a saturn mean it's not goin to be high on the cops pull over list, but you throw a big wing on there.... I'd probably get the RACES I'd want, but I think I might also get the cops attention that I DON'T want (the fact I speed now in a sedan has saved me many a time)

One of the first things I'd do in the 'burgh if I were to get a RL would be to go to the ricer hangout in Monroeville and race those asses . There's an STI and a SRT-4 running around there too, maybe a couple of them occasionally. Most of them are riced out civics/tibs/RSX-S/etc that I would hope I'd demolish.
SRT-4 I'd race just to see how the stock RL would perform. STI I'd only take from a roll, even then I know I'd get destroyed.

Good luck talking them down. Nice guys there. Ask for Ed. I got mine (an '04) w/ 7,000 miles at $16k, fully loaded (not the big wing though), 7/70k warranty, tax and all that included.

Never knew about the ricer hangout in Monroeville. I'm in Pleasant Hills, actually, so do a lot of downtown to PH driving on 51 (from work to home, or Duquesne Univ, where my gf lives, to home). Great drive late at night. Fly through the Liberty tubes (and sometimes get to race), then usually run into a few ricers, and a couple WRXs, as I come through Dormont and Baldwin.

But hey, if ya pick up the RL, let me know. I'd be more than happy to come out to Monroeville. Always looking for a race

And, btw, you're right. Cops ignore my car...unless I'm going at a good clip. *Knock on wood* I've yet to have any problems.

Where are you located? If ya wanted a see a broken-in RL in action, like mine, just lemme know.

Ed... I'll ask for him if he's around. But 16k including EVERYTHING? That's NICE!! I wouldn't be looking for lower than 16k before tax and licensing and crap.

If I get a RL that'd be pretty sweet to head to the 'ville and show those guys there a thing or 2, as per the fact they probably have the typical "Saturn reaction" especially when they get destroyed by 2 of 'em :-D

Where do you work downtown out of curiousity? But Rt 51 is a 'safe' place to speed? I just moved to the southside area so I haven't found the safe places yet, I haven't seen any cops on the few times I've driven it, so I'm startin to get the feel for it. Parkway East has been my thing so far, and Monroeville cops leave you alone 99.999% of the time, and even if they do pull you over, if you have Monroeville on your license they normally let you slide.

I live literally like a hop a skip and a jump away from the liberty tubes/bridge now. I can put my car in neutral and get there lol. I might have to take you up on that offer if I get the feeling I'll freak out a salesman if I push it, I just want to SEE what the thing is capable of.



Cops yup, I drive a 97 mazda 626 sedan, was going 90-100 on the turnpike, flew RIGHT by a cop, I thought for sure I was screwed, braked to like 15, started pulling over. Looked in my mirror, and saw...nothing, what the eff? (no it wasn't just a distraction, I saw the cop IN the car, WITH the radar detector). sweeeeet (still no being pulled over for speeding, knock on wood)
