Hello All

My name is Terry and I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. I own a 2008 Midnight Blue Saturn Sky and I hope to learn as much as I can about the Kappa platform cars.

Glad to see another Canadian here.

I'm lucky, living on the west (aka wet) coast I get to use my car all year long.  Bet your season is a bit shorter?

So 6 months-ish driving weather out of the year? Well on the upside, your car should last twice as long that way :)

We had such a poor spring this year, I'm sure I never got my Sky out till near the end of April. I have put 3000 kms. (1800 miles) since May. Just enjoying the car, it is so much fun.
