Sky / Solstice

One of the few things I care about any longer for GM is the sad demise of the Sky/Solstice twins. By far the best looking cars that GM has made this decade (and I include the Corvette - they have hardly altered its styling since 1983, though I think it looks good) are the Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice. They are small, cheap, light, fun to drive, and damn good looking.

Sadly they came too late in the lives of their brands (and possibly GM) and are too much of a niche product for a socialist peoples-owned Russian.. I mean American car company.

RIP Sky/Solstice, two of the only good cars of GM's last 50 years.

In fact, most people think that driving slowly, regardless of what lane you are in, whether you are merging onto a highway or holding up 50 cars behind you, means "being a good driver." Just because you have spent many years driving in the left lane at 65mph does not make you a good driver, in fact, just the opposite. A good driver means you know how to drive, not that you have gotten lucky or simply average for the past 10 years. Personally, I would love to see a class in high school devoted to driving. I think it could be fun and informative while greatly reducing the number of accidents (especially fatal ones) on the roads every year. Right now, the driving exam is basically a joke, it means that you know what the pedals...
