Trying to figure this one out...

Haley Joel Osment in car crash

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.

Okay, he's 18 now which I'm still trying to wrap my brain around... but the guy's been in a buttload of movies and probably has all kinds of money... why's he driving around an 11 year old car? Saturns are safe cars, sure (bet you he's in an advertising campaign soon) but I bet he could have afforded one a little newer.

Hmmm. Well, he might just be the thrifty type (unlikely for a Hollywood star, but you never know). Or, since he made most of his pictures before he turned 18, most of his money might be in trust and currently unavailable to him. Or maybe it just wasn't his car... borrowed, stolen, who knows..?

Might be the thrifty type... but 11 year old cars can cost you WAY more in the long run.

I dunno... seems odd.

Ipersonally (as you well know) can vouch for Saturns being safe cars!

Maybe he lucked out like I did--247,000 is practically immortal for an American car. ;-)

Yay for Hollywood stars who DON'T buy into the more-is-more mentality! Plus, if you want privacy, who the heck is going to notice a guy driving around in a '95 Saturn? Now, if he pulled up to a grocery mart in a tricked out Hummer, then people would take note, maybe the paparrazzi would follow him around.

But Haley Joel Osmond in a 95 Saturn??? NO way! So...it's a perfect disguise!

He could have been in an '06 Saturn and nobody would have noticed. It's a freakin Saturn.
