Yep, that's definitely Mike's, not only because of the looks but I believe that was taken in his driveway.

Yep, that is Reed's car. Please don't anyone tell or his ego will be unbearable. He loves when our cars are together and people point out how they like the red one better :(

I also noticed the RKSport hood on the white one. The black is a little too dramatic for my taste.

Two things I noticed about the European Tuner website....I did not see any tan tops, and most have taken the GT badge off the fender.

I recognized the orange and black Sky towards the bottom of the pics also. It was a Hahn/Rick Bottom car out if Mendota, IL and was the sister car to the Soul Food Solstice. A couple in Byron, IL bought it, but they were trying to sell it last I knew. They did not take good care of it as it was a little beat up the last time I saw it.

only option for GT was black top, no other color for tops. the fender GT badge only came as standard equipment with the 2009 models. some of us with previous years models though ordered it to place it as well

I found it on my own. 

The Skys in the thread are:

Galpin Auto Sports Dark Sky
MarlboroMike's Sticker Book
Galpin Auto Sports Light Sky
me
Group shot from a SoCal cruise with EndiSky's car in front
(an Opel and a Lotus)
Hahn/ Rick Bottom

Don't be a hater, Karen.  It's not my fault the internet likes my car more.  Do a Google search for Saturn Sky and look at the first image you see.  Note the NY registration, parking decal, and reflection of the hottie.  Cringe.
