    In german using definite articles is "a bit" tricky. Correct would be "der Wagen", as the voice of Wagen is maskuline and the article "der". If one uses "Auto" (from Automobil) instead of "Wagen", it's easier - as the voice of Auto is neutral and the neutral article is "das". I love your videos, can't wait for the next episode !

      @@goosenotmaverick1156 Yeah, I have gathered as much, but as far as I know, they never had a presence in the european market at all, meaning any such car existing on european road is imported second hand or gray market.
      Very few europeans know of the Saturn brand, and this car is perhaps not the kind that garners very large attention in general in its time. It is therefore not certain that even a single one of the wagons like the one in this video have ever seen european roads. Cheers.

    Rotors just have pad deposits from sitting I bet. Several more hard stops probably would have cleaned them up, but new brakes just feel great and inspire confidence. Plus it helps alleviate any MPG issues caused by brake drag, especially the new calipers. The car deserved some fresh parts. The coating on the rotors will last quite a while in non-salted non-snowy environments. Even then it does help keep stuff from looking like rusty death for a few years. I have lots of experience. If the black or silver coatings last more seems to depend on the brand.

    New to your channel. These reports are fantastic to watch. As someone from the Netherlands I'm not really familiar with the Saturn brand, but I do remember seeing the SL2s when I visited the US years ago. I think the design of Saturn cars of that era has aged really well and they do have a cool 90s vibe. Manual / stick transmissions are actually very common over here, only in the last couple of years cars are getting automatics more often as the market changes to hybrids etc. I own a Peugeot 108 which is a sub-compact city car. It's light (1874 lb), has a 998cc 3-cylinder engine and a manual 5-speed. I regularly get ~52 MPG when daily commuting (30 minute drive). These sort of cars (Volkswagen Up, Toyota Aygo, Peugeot 108) are really common in the Netherlands as the monthly road tax on cars is calculated based on the weight of the vehicle, and the fuel prices are high at USD 7,10 per gallon (EUR 1,90 per liter).
    I'm really looking forward to the next videos in the series!

    Everyone has a favorite sandwich, often prepared to an exacting degree of specification: Turkey or ham? Grilled or toasted? Mayo or mustard? White or whole wheat?
    The tuna salad sandwich originated from an impulse to conserve, only to become a symbol of excess.
    In the 19th century - before the era of supermarkets and cheap groceries - most Americans avoided wasting food. Scraps of chicken, ham or fish from supper would be mixed with mayonnaise and served on lettuce for lunch. Leftovers of celery, pickles and olives - served as supper “relishes” - would also be folded into the mix.
    The versions of these salads that incorporated fish tended to use salmon, white fish or trout. Most Americans didn’t cook (or even know of) tuna.

    Those tires definitely looked ancient. The type, age, and wear of tires can affect MPG quite a bit. Buying some fresh Michelin Energy Saver tires for example might give you a few percent economy at least. That said, totally agree the cheap tires like to last! I had some General all seasons that wore nice and even and lasted way longer than I expected. $2,000 to revive a good car isn't terrible. :)

      While steam engines developed throughout the 19th century, diesel trains were not put into use until the 1940s to the 1960s. These trains were preferred over steam engines because of their ability to perform faster for a much longer time.

    I bought one of these Saturn Wagons used in 2003. Some months later I was looking at devices on the internet that fit between the car's computer and their sensors to boost engine performance. I asked a Canadian company if they could do one for my little Saturn and they did it for me and for about $300 I had a sleeper of a car that blew people's minds watching me pull out into traffic or blast off from a stop light. No other mods whatsoever on it and I had no pretensions about it at all. All I knew was that when I pushed the pedal to the floor, that device kicked in and it started spinning the wheels. I could manually shift the automatic transmission and get some wheel spin after going into second and a wheel chirp when hitting third. Apparently the performance device lies to the computer about air flow, throttle position, mixture and anything else that mattered so the engine has to respond to make up for it. The car was already super light with plastic for body panels and the engine performance had obviously, in stock form, been dumbed down to meet the expectations of grandmothers by derating it with the stock computer. This was probably the best $300 I had ever spent for entertainment ever. I eventually ended up breaking the auto transmission from getting down on it so hard but I sold it for about half of what I had paid for it after they buyer test drove it even when it leaked fluid and wouldn't go into reverse the guy was still impressed enough to buy it.

      @@SHSPVR you would be correct. However almost every district has a store that can, and they can ship it via their distribution centers or Hub stores/route trucks. So they can be had by almost anyone as long as you get someone reasonably competent behind the counter, that is willing to find out which store and all that. Not 100% of them, but most of the stores can.
