Just stub out the call to create that save's going to do eventually?
def test_do_stuff
stuff = User.new :name => 'L Richie', :current_mood => 'All night long'
stuff.stubs(:create).returns(true) # Mocha
def stuff.create; true; end # Or plain Ruby
assert stuff.save
assert_good_things_happened stuff
end
(Untested, just an idea)
