The Car Show |
| One of the
highlights of the trip was the car show that Saturn sponsored for our group on the plant
grounds. There were a few 'one-off' cars (seen in the wild colors to the right)
built by the plant, as well as a 99 SL2 and a EV1 that we could take for a drive if we
wanted to. Mike Kramer (his car is shown on the left) was there with his SCCA racing SC2. Many of the plant employees,
engineers, and designers stopped by and talked shop with us. They also filled out
survey cards and voted on the show's best car. Kevin Svarda won with his low Pearl
SC2 which was quite a ride.

| The Saturn Media
Center was out filming the event. Drag racing queen Christena was interviewed with her ram-air
SL2, as well as The Saturn Performance Club's leader and organizer, Bill Deebs. Who knows, maybe there's
one of those unique commercials in the works? There was also a reporter from Autoweek magazine talking to people and taking
pictures, so be sure to watch upcoming issues.

off the road. |
