Angry Driving me crazy

I move to Alabama and get a SC. I have seen probably 5 SCs since I got my car a few weeks ago and I cannot for the life of me get any of them to bite on this site. I came from Detroit, where GM reigns, I get down here and there arent even any general car clubs within 100 miles that I can find and sure as hell no Balt owners that are on this site.

Ha, well the GM world headquarters is about 5 miles from my house in Detroit. Man they have a beautiful facility. Oh I forgot to say this, my house backs up to the Ford test track. I go on my parents roof all the time and watch all the crazy new **** they are doing. Its 2 miles long with banked turns, I want to take the Balt out there so bad but Im stuck in this shithole with rednecks galore.....

Yeah I know, you guys wont hear me bitching anymore. I guess I am just hoping someone will pipe up and go.... "OMG we have the largest Cobalt meet in the whole country about 3 miles from your house"

I live a lil north of Mobile.....

Two days ago I followed a bus an hour and a half down the expressway, doing 60MPH the whole way, drafting the whole time. 42.7MPG. It was the happiest day of my life...lol
