Just recently discovered some of the great TB builds, and has me looking hard at a TB as my next vehicle. The value they represent is hard to argue with! Looking forward to learning and contributing in any way I can. I have an engineering background, so problems are just puzzles to be solved for me :-) lots of fun!

Peace!

For now, I'm "enjoying the VUE".

2008 Saturn VUE XR AWD.

Can't really complain too much about it. Fun to drive. Decent room inside. AWD has been great in the snow. It has been a solid, reliable daily driver for the last 5 years. Just rolling over 90k, so it's probably got a lot of life left in it.

so... with all due respect

I highly encourage the rapid purchase of a TB or any other GMT360/370. I dont like seeing Saturns on my beloved page.
