05 Red Cobalt SS
Decided to get my new daily driver on Saturday 
I had ordered an 06 Arrival Blue, but that wouldn't have been there until September time frame and that was too long for me. Previous DD was an 04 Jetta GLS 1.8T (had no low end at all).
So far I'm loving it other than the no center console
Here's some pics for all:

Nice and clean Here's something you might want to do though:
In your engine compartment, there is a self tapping bolt on the right side or driver's side in the front, which is sticking out and probably rubbing on the intake tube. I had the dealership cut mine off because it was digging into the tube. You may want to trim that down with a dremmel. If it punctures you will get a pressure leak and probably a CEL.
Edit:
Also look at your hood in the sun at different angles, a lot of people have had paint defects there including me. Most people reported uneven dark and light spots.

Thanx for the compliments guys.
MarcS the tips were much appreciated. I couldn't find any paint defects when waxing it, and checked for clearance on that bolt and everything looked good as of now.

JonelZ: I've always love those 30th Anv T/A's. Those blue chrome rims just are sweet! Very nice, and unique fbody you have there!
Options equiped are: XM, side curtain airbags, Sunroof.
I don't think I would ever consider OnStar until they did something about that ugly antenna on the front, yuck!
