An Overview of 2008 Saturn Sky Red Line

The 2008 Saturn Sky Red Line is a great looking cruiser, almost feline in its stance, sporty and cool. Model year 2007 saw GM bring out a refreshing lineup of wheels, which included the Red Line performance models.

The 2008 Saturn Sky Red Line displays several exclusive interior and exterior features compared to the Sky roadster. Noteworthy among them are 18-inch polished aluminum alloy wheels, dual polished aluminum exhaust outlets, front lower fascia with design elements, cooling vents and a large mesh grille. Headlamp treatment replaces the Sky’s brilliant finish with black bezels.

The 2008 Saturn Sky Redline features a compact cockpit, leather shift knob, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, stainless steel pedal covers, metallic sill plates, unique Red Line gauges and a digital boost gauge included in the Driver Information Center. As with any two-seat sports convertible, luggage space is rather a compromise, but it can still hold plenty for short trips.

The Red Line handles well, has a performance-tuned suspension and feels rock solid with exemplary road-hugging qualities because it is low slung. Vibration and wind noise, normally expected in a convertible, is minimal. The car features an Ecotec turbocharged 2.0L engine, (GM’s first direct-injection offering) that produces 260 horsepower and 260 lb-ft. of torque, making it GM’s most powerful Ecotec production engine.

Fuel economy rates at 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. Lower fuel consumption is achieved by gasoline direct-injection technology, whereby fuel is delivered directly to the combustion chamber to ensure complete burning of the air/fuel mixture, thus helping the engine to produce more power. With direct injection, less fuel is required to achieve the desired horsepower compared to a conventional combustion system.

When it comes to an open, wind-in-your-hair convertible, safety is a key element. The Saturn Sky Redline is equipped with dual stage driver and passenger front air bags, daytime running lights, StabiliTrac electronic stability control, a tire-pressure monitoring system, and OnStar telematic services.

HELP! Licensed Electrician's Opinion Needed.?

Hello

I am installing a 220 volt 24,500 BTU AC. The specs call for a 15 amp 12 gauge power hookup. Nearby the location where the AC will be there is an existing 8 or 10 gauge (not sure of the gauge size there) 220v hookup in a junction box where I could get the power from, but this goes back to a 30 amp existing breaker in the main panel.

I know I could use that as a source for the 220v and be protected against a dead short in the line (if that should ever occur).

My question is: Will it be safe to use the existing power in the junction box in the event anything ELSE goes wrong... considering the 30 amp breaker...and the 12 gauge 3 conductor cable (Romex)???

Thanks in advance for any help with this question.

Have A Great Summer

Patrick

Knowing from peronal wiring it should be fine to use as long as you do not excede the ratings
