Good list, Val! :D

I wonder why HUMMER was left off the list.

As for PONTIAC - :mwaha: Yes, the original saying would be totally NOT PC :p

I owned a 2001 Saturn SL1 Sedan 19 monthes ago and I have to say.... out of the 5 cars I've owned in the last 9 years, it was the best running car that I had. I also owned a 1986 Pontiac Firebird, a 1989 Chevy Cavalier, a 1988 Chevy Baretta GT, and my 2004 Chevy Cavalier

Geez, peeps. It's a joke. Someone came up with the best they could with the letters of the car. ;)

Maybe this will appease you:

SATURN
Someone Actually Tried Using Reconditioned Nissans
Super At Travelling Under Rivers, Naturally
Supreme At Taming Unusually Righteous Nincompoops
Surely Another Tired, Underhanded Ruse Necessary
Several Attempts To Undo Recall Needed

Nah, not this one! :lol:

Actually, we had a Grand Am that we were really happy with and people thought we were crazy, so we're both nutjobs!
