We should try them out if you want to one day. I know quite a bit about the 2.2l actually pretty extensive but I also forget lots.
I dont know I am willing to try them out if you are?

So I drove through Jack Carter last night...
Jeeze, they seem to sell used Cobalt SS pretty quick;
The three SS's and one 'Sport' I mentioned about a week ago are all either sold or off the premisis...
There is now a black '08 SS (lower grille mia/black vinyl'd front bowtie) that has a "sold" tag in the window.
I wonder if even half of these cars show up on their site or the GM used car database...
.........
Well, my free-food-fest is over
I gave myself gut-rot for the last two evenings
I didn't get the overhead door fixed (barely got into the garage)...
but I moved some furniture and got some work done around the house...
Oh, and Mark, your favorite customer might be buying a car;
If he does he will be IMHO stealing it...
(I don't think there's any way he should get it, but from what he tells me this guy is entertaining his offer)
And should he buy it, this time around you will just have to charge $$$ for every bowtie colour change

BAH-HA-HA!!!
I knew I'd get a comment - but didn't expect that many!!
I posted this car up here before telling him - that car is already listed about $3k below blue book - even including mileage... LINK
I'm not going to knock the guy - he's always been nice enough to me... and I have nothing against him.
It seems as though he's grown some from the accident - which sucks because that's a hard way to learn.

I figured on the off chance he does get this car, that you would appreciate a heads up - I mean it wouldn't take much for him to find you...

Ya I've never had anything against him either. He just needed to grow up some in regards to racing around from every light and treating a car as a toy rather then a responsibility. His accident could have ended very badly and thankfully it was only minor injury's

OEM style Carbon Fiber hood
I'm going to sell my carbon fiber hood, figured i's post on here before it goes on Kijiji. Everyon knows what they're worth so make me a decent offer and it's yours. I'm going to post in on Kijiji for around $500 delivered in Calgary only, i'm not shipping this anywhere because of extra cost. I'm negotiable with the price. Let me know if you want it and like I said, make me a decent offer and it's yours. Graham has seen it so you can ask him about it if you like, otherwise I can send pictures if needed. Just need to take some daytime shots

since I was already out, and just turned into Douglas Glen at around 9pm this evening, I swung by JC's again tonight;
(the last one I saw I don't recall it having a yellow inventory tag, and it was parked right out infront of the service bay, telling me it was probably going to be picked up - where as this one had a yellow inventory tag showing it as an '07)
and the '08 is still sitting there...
and the red & yellow cars seem to be gone.
I'm almost wondering if the "sold" sign is used to excite prospective buyers, and that it's only got the sign because of a salesman having some interest in the car;
on every "sold" sign is a salesman's business card, and when I found my car (not at JC mind you) it had a "sold sign on it too - but that was because someone was trying to line up financing...
I'd wager that '08 could be had for a great deal - according to the yellow inventory tag, the car has 37k km's, and aside from a black vinyl'd bowtie, and a missing lower grille, it appears to be unmolested.
If anyone here knows anyone looking, do them a favor and pass word along.
...
every now & then I slowly roll through the Jack Carter lot (always after hours so that I'm not bothered);
I did it this evening - they had the following used cars there;
...
The thing that really got me was that the 2006's only had $1,004 difference in price - I would have expected at least double that.

- apparently the SS/2.4L with the scuffed front bumper corner is in fact still there.
- they now have a black '07(?) with a sold tag sitting in the used car section; but I'm wondering if it's the '05 from before - I figured the otheron was an '05 because of the supercharged badges on the doors - I maybe erraneously recalled that being an '05 only deal...
