Hi everyone,


Just wanting to share that I'm back into an LNF again. If most of you recall I lost my Cobalt SS/TC back in 09 on a freeway incident. I really missed that car and everything about the power, chasis etc. After the SS/TC I got a VW Jetta GLI 2004(the rebound as I called it). Modded it with all bolt-ons and it just still wasn't anything like the power I had before it. So after being patient and looking around I finally was able to find, what I think is the deal of the century. Its a Saturn Sky Redline from 2007 that ONLY has 1,739miles on the odometer. Bought it from a Private owner, 85 years old and the original buyer. He only used it on holidays and special occasions. Got it for 22k. What do you guys think and any Redline owners, please chime in. Still got to rid of the VW Jetta GLi now, essssshhh can't pay for 2 cars for long. Any suggestions for mods are well appreciated.

Tune is my first one, getting that done tomorrow.










Any suggentions for naming my car??? I was thinking of RON, Ron Burgandy was the name of my SS/TC(miss that car)

god those stripes are horrible lol. and idk the price of the skys but that seems a bit pricey

The strips are vinyl and can be taking off, I really don't like them much either. Their a little pricey cause you can get a TC for 15k, but I just wanted to dip into a RWD vehicle. I have owned FWD since I started driving.

Stick or auto?

Awesome. I love those cars. I can't believe an 85 year-old man had those stripes put on. In dark silver they might have been okay.

Hey man!!! Dude I was wondering about where you were at the other day. Didn't you say that you were pulling in from underway in Jan??? Anyways, I live in the El Cajon area( The chest). Just got this car today!! Woot!!! Lets meet up. I get underway this coming week for Seasquat, gotta shoot them missiles bro lol.


The car is a 5 speed manual. I don't believe in auto unless your bracket racing.

Let me tell you, this old man is not your typical 85 year old. His health recently has not been the best but just a year ago this guy was still buff, worked out and has own cars most of us can dream. He was one of the pioneers at bonneville flats alongside Newman White(his childhood friend, I think that is his name.


The library of cars this guy has own since the 40's is just amazing. He has a placard of the Pantara dealership stating that he own it and the authenticity #, Jags, Model A Fords and the rest was custom work. He was a paratrooper in WWII, has been married with his wife for 62 years. I tell you, the history that this man is and knows was a treat.

He said to me while test driving the car yesterday "There's nothing like driving a car and knowing that valves, springs, pistons, bearing, tranny's are all working together to keep my heart going" " Its just my time though and my last days are here, can't drive the car anymore but hopefully you'll take care of her"

Tell you what I would love this guy as my grandpa.

Now that sounds like an interesting guy. I'm sorry to hear he has fallen ill.

You should get out of the LNF and into an LS3. Swap that bitch.


Nice car!

Fastgti69

LS3 is sexy but if you're going there LS7


OP! Sweet car dude, and i think thats an okay price considering the miles lol... I kinda like the stripes haha I'd rock it for a bit.

Ditch the stripes and get rid of those ugly chrome turn signal housings. Too much bling for an open top sports car. Black them and the taillights out.

Looks nice! I can't wait to see what you do to it.

First thing I would do before I tuned it would be to get that laggy piece of crap turbo out there and slam a supercharger on it!

Shibito

Love the Sky's. I would definitely get a hard top for it.
