There's a mk1 MR2 painted like that floating around Cali, belongs to a custom painter. Same with the Golf?
That Golf came from factory like that.
No joke.
Google "Harlequin Golf."

Once again, you're my hero. Driving a Saturn until stuff falls off of it. If mine was a wagon, I would literally keep it going forever.

forgot to mention. A long time ago, i borrowed my buddies 2003 Dodge Ram to do some towing and he took my saturn. He had just bought it and kept telling me to take it easy, be careful, dont wreck it. nom-nom-nom
I get a call the next day. "Kevin, i crashed your saturn"
He took an off ramp too quick and spun it. Front bumper tapped the guard rail as did the rear. The frt bumper fell off.
Being the good friend he is, he re attached all the broken bits, offered to pay for any thing else. I laughed and said: "its a saturn" He did a nice job fixing it up cause besides scratches on the front and rear bumpers and some cracked inner wheel liners you cannot tell a thing happened...basically.It just keeps going.

On an only slightly related note, I was in the junkyard on Tuesday and every other car in the GM section was a Saturn. Amazing. I've never seen so many Saturns. They all seemed to have between 150 and 200k miles, and amazingly, all the bodies were rust free!
Should be easy to score used parts.

Saturns will run forever if you remember to keep oil in them. As these cars age they tend to burn oil. A true Saturn owner can easily be spotted at the gas station with the hood open adding oil to their car. I think it is a requirement for all Saturn owners to carry an extra quart in their trunk.

Haha. I buy a 6-quart case at Costco every oil change. The spare two bottles that don't go in stay in the trunk for re-fills.
