You can take the key from one and use it to unlock and start the other. One of my girlfriends sorrity sisters had the exact same Saturn as she did, and we used the key to my girl's car to unlock and drive around her friend's car.

You could do that with our old Ford work van and my stepdads old Ford Ranger. Both keys were the same shape, and were worn out, you could use one to drive the other.

well we are still looking, have to fix the A/C in the jetta, cause that makes a huge difference over here in miami so it will be alot easier to sell. I fixed the leak in the coolant line...What a Pain in the ass that was

You know...another car that you could try to find is the Mazda Protege Mazdaspeed edition. Boosted, 4 doors, looks nice and has a great interior. I've seen 2003's go for about $12500-$18000. And that's just roughly around 30K miles to 60K.

And hey, it's a Mazda. So why not. Yeah, the Redline and Celica are two good cars. But I've found that the Mazdaspeed Protege can be a great car as well. Takes pretty good to mods (that is if you ever plan on doing it). Might be a car you want to check out. I've actually taken a good look at them and found that I'm attracted to the car altogether.

heh, we had a couple late 80's chevy's, a cavalier and a celebrity. i used to drive them around without a key. you could start em right up without one.

My dad used to start his old taurus with a screw driver. LOL

But civ i was just looking into the MS Protege's, they are out of the price range over here.

MP3s...pretty sweet cars. if only i diddnt want to finance, as i have mods in the mail, and have debt onto my name just yet, i'd be all over it.

BLAH! those Mazdaspeed Protoges are pure crap! my neighbor has one in orange. That slow pos makes a whopping 165 bhp despite a 2.0 liter four turbo. thats like 130 at the wheels. I know I know, "mods can make it go blah blah blah"
yeah but the mods for the MSP are NOT CHEAP!
and a car that demands mods in order to be attractive is not a rip off.
a performance car shoudl be a bang for the buck straight out of the dealer floor.
I used to eat him alive in my 3000GT, I mean he had no chance from a dig, from a roll.......down hill....ect.

forget it Kris, your better off getting another Jetta before you get the MS Protoge!

GTO!

as someone who has a friend with an ion redline, I would pick the celica over it. Although it is s/c, your gf is prob going to keep it fairly tame, and with that in mind, the celica has it in handling, reliability, and quality of materials.

I havent been in that year celica personally, but the saturn struck me as pretty uncommunicative to the driver, with its only saving grace compared to the celica being the boost and more room. Has she test driven both cars, and if so what are her thoughts?

she didnt want to drive atthat moment and we didnt have too much time, so I drove, she said she liked the redline more though cause it had more room andwas comfortable for her. She also said she liked that the doors swing back like the rx-8. She didnt like the seats in the celica either. She said the celica didnt feel right when she sat in the car.

no hondas huh?

Have you considered the celica GT? or does it have to be the GT-S?? If you want 4-door, the corolla XRS comes with the 2zz motor in the celica GT-S as well. Besides that, take a look at the v6 camry, camrys are always roomy, and you get the v6, weeeeeeeee......

Polygon, IIRC the latest recall was the Toyota Tundra, there were like 17 accidents and Toyota recalled 500,000 Tundras, too nice IMO. Toyota's reliability is still up there, though, their older cars probably outweigh the newer ones. The thing you have to watch out for in the celica gt-s is the tranny, you'll start grinding if you shift aggressively. I'm sure vip can probably chime in on the goods and the bads. Well, GL GOTIAN!

explain how gotian and musashi are crazy. i want your input, lol. as i know im pretty....high spirited myself lol. basically he wants a coupe for his girl, as it seems. i personally would go with a small sedan, so if you need the room to carry something, you can. i've actually noticed that my 'rear seats' were good for something. but to all his own and his opinions.
