A Saturn, really?
'Sixth Sense' Star in Hospital After Crash
Actor Haley Joel Osment was hospitalized early Thursday after he apparently lost control of his car while heading to his Los Angeles area home, authorities said.
Osment, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his role as a boy who could see dead people in "The Sixth Sense," was driving a 1995 Saturn about 1 a.m. when the car collided with a brick pillar and flipped, said Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Greg Sisneros.
The 18-year-old actor was awake and talking following the crash, Sisneros said. He had been alone in the car and was taken to Huntington Hospital in nearby Pasadena.
Sisneros had no information on his condition, and an emergency-room receptionist said no one under that name was at the hospital.
Osment is set to appear in the upcoming "Home of the Giants." In the film, he plays a high school journalist covering a basketball team as it heads toward the state championship.
La Canada Flintridge, a suburb of Los Angeles, is about 14 miles northeast of downtown.
Ok, let me start off by saying I have ABSOLUTELY nothing against Saturns. I think they're great cars and getting cuter every time they release a new one. Have you seen the new roadster? Very good looking car.
And of course I should note that, more important than my views on Saturns, I really hope he's ok.
But why is a kid who has starred in a bunch of big movies driving a Saturn that's more than 10 years old? He's got to get great residuals and he's got some stuff coming out so it's not like he's hard up for money. I'm guessing A) he doesn't really care about cars or B) his parents are strict and wouldn't let him buy something flashier. But at least let the kid buy something that was made this century.

Seriously, I love Saturns, too, but those older ones are basically made metal-free. They're no match for a tree.
At least my Saturn is a 98... geez
and its true, my Saturn once lost a battle to a big hunk of metal Mercury once. Poor baby Saturn.
oh believe me, i dream of the day when I can say "car payment, shmar payment"... but sadly that day is not today, so I will go on relishing my lack of a car payment instead. Although I do have to say that other than the battling with big metal cars, my Saturn been quite a trooper thru the years!
I hear you, Katie. I can't wait for the day I pay off my car. But I figure since I'm in the ghetto, too, that having a non-flashy, plastic car ensures nobody will try to steal it.
Ann, you are very wise!
Really amazing! Useful information. All the best.
