Embrace The Strange: This 1992 Saturn Lowrider Is Creativity Done Well


Embrace The Strange: This 1992 Saturn Lowrider Is Creativity Done Well

I’m pretty sure that after this one, you will be ready for me to go back to mid-1970s Mopars. A Saturn on BangShift? “What the hell is wrong with McTaggart now?”…I can already hear it. I’m not coding this thing into the “Pro Commuter” idea I’ve been toying with…it’s beyond that. This 1992 Saturn SL2 is something else: it started life as a sun-baked blank canvas that nobody, but nobody, would give half a fat rat’s backside about, and yet here it is, chopped, painted up, slammed to the ground, and still under construction for the most part. There’s nothing really stopping this car from rolling around…it’s in New Mexico, snow isn’t that big of a concern out there. But to enjoy it? Why not? First-gen Saturns like this one have a lot going for them. They were decent little commuters, cars that were perfect for going back and forth. I actually kind of like them…they won’t blow anybody’s socks off, but they don’t have to be boring as hell, either. I’m digging it…what say you?

    Love the chop. Hate the tail treatment, paint and Mexican blankets. Needs fender skirts and a Watson paint job.

    At least the kid got off the pipe and his electronics and is trying.

    I kinda like it – I’d be too tall to ride in it, but the chopped and stretched roof looks great, and who’s going to complain that he wasted a perfectly good ’92 Saturn?

    Love one off’s like that. Totally unique car. If the car puts smiles on people’s faces, then he’s succeeded.
