I'm Rockin a 07 Saturn Aura XR with the 3.6L in it. Not my favorite car in the world, but a good daily driver. Got it cause I liked the G6 my fiance has, although hers has the 3.5L and 4 speed. I don't care for GM's new 6 speed auto with tap shift which my car has. Tap shift would probably be exciting if my last car wasn't a manual and I never drove one. It is very sluggish in shifting and actually seems to take longer to switch gears than just leaving it in auto mode. I have used it though when wanting a ower gear on hills or when I'm cruising and it's hunting between gears a lot.

I would still like to find myself a nice Regal GS or GSE like my old one to play around with, and I like the car better overall, but it's just not in the cards right now.

I also have a 70 blazer/71 jimmy project that I am getting ready to sell to help pay off some debt and allow me to focus more on some other projects. I've come to the conclusion that I am not a body man and have no desire to be. I'll stick to mechanical and electrical items.

In my electrical dabbling, I did install Heated seat elements from a 95 Cadillac STS into my old 98 Lumina and they worked great while I had it. Right before I sold it though, the relay was starting to click, so I hid the switch behind the CD compartment and disconnected the power to them since I didn't have time to diagnose it. So if anyone bought a black 98 LTZ in upstate NY a few years back, you might have a nice surprise there.
