Classic Car Watches

The auto bailout provided much needed life support to America’s Big Three car companies, but there are still going to be some casualties. In order to pare their costs, General Motors is stripping unproductive manufacturers for their rota. One of the unfortunate companies that will no longer be under the GM name is Saturn.

After Penske Automotive removed their bid for the company late in 2009, it appears as if Saturn will be closing its doors permanently late in 2010. Originally branding themselves as different kind of car company, Saturn was unable to convince the public that the difference it provided was superior to the competition. As the company fades away, a Saturn watch and other memorabilia will certainly become collector’s items.

I am always thinking about what gifts I can get for my husband. He’s so hard to shop for! Last month, however, I heard him mention that he needed a new sports watch to replace his old generic watch. I began to do some research online and I found a few models that I thought he might like.

I found a website with several automobile models that caught my eye. Not only were they stylish, but it was also durable. I knew that my husband would love the extra features the watch offered. Since he has always wanted a Corvette, I decided to get him a watch with the trademark logo. There’s no doubt in my mind that he will love this watch.

I love my car, but it’s a piece of crap. It’s a 1990 Honda Civic and I have nearly driven in into the ground. Recently, I was having some problems with steering the car. The wheels just didn’t seem to go in the direction I wanted them too. And whenever they went in the right direction they didn’t want to stay there.

My mechanic (really, my buddy who knows a little about cars) told me it could be a problems related to the lubrication of the steering knuckle. My response was “the steering what?” But, when I took my car to an actual mechanic, they told me the same thing. As my car is barely worth anything anymore, I decided to relegate it to the junkyard. To commemorate my relationship with the vehicle, I bought Honda watch with the emblematic company logo.
