It kinda is. Though the new owner is in Lethbridge and I'll be in another Cobalt and if Joel gets an LNF from Calgary we'll actually be +1 SS overall... 
Though I'm happy to be gaining ~100 whp I still would have preferred to keep my beauty, shame it's a POS. Gonna take a while to start digging the orange... if ever.

Hours and hours and hours in my garage invested in that car, learned manual on it, and for the most part it was enjoyable. A screaming M62 will partly remedy this, but I'm still really going to miss it.I hope I don't see it around town, it's gonna be a "dear god, what have I done!?" kind of moment.

well i attempted to brakat race my car this weekend
run 1- my linkage messed up on my tranny, best i can figure it is the roll pin everyone talks about, will know more when i rip it apart, but tranny is fine, can tell its something with linkage because it wont go into any of the lower gears (2nd, 4th and reverse) i shouldnt say it wont, it will with extreme difficulty. Then sometime when i was racing yesterday the boost bypass solonoid decided to go limiting my boost to 5-10 psi, confirmed that issue when i got home by bypassing it then 22psi of boost was back.
Side note- car seats and cobalts do not go hand in hand haha, you have to sit with your legs crammed to have car seat in there

well with our car seat its crammed, maybe once there not an infant and you can turn them facing the other way its not bad but the reverse facing take up alot of room. im 6 1 as well and i had it back as far as it would go and my knees were at the dash

True, but that's difficult in the cobalt as the middle of the backseat groves. So if you have the base the infant car seat it doesn't sit flat, and in return the car seat isnt as tightly in the car, and moves.

2 things if the kids shoes are muddy either keep them out of the mudd or take their shoes off. I've had kids in my car more times then I can count in the last year and my seats are fine, I'm never cramped and don't know what you guys are doing but your doing it wrong. And jon you barely have kids in your car and if you do it's only 1.
And the 2 girls I put in my car are very well behaved at all times

And thank you Steven. My kids get bitchy like all females, but they are pretty good kids.
Especially the ONE you speak of in Jons car. If she's not asking what everything is or what your doing you forget she's back there.

That's on long drives at night. During the day she just sits there. When me and Graham tool her to BC last year. 12 hours and she didn't whine at all. Just sat in the back playing with her puppy.

Ahaha!! Khloe doesn't ever shush. She's so amazed by her voice lol. She's on a shoe kick I will take my shoe off and put it back on. I will then laugh my face off because it's that funny.

steve not all car seats are the same so you had a different car seat, theres nothing you can do different to unless you jam your seat into the cat seat which your not supposed to do so dont tell me im doing something wrong
