You guys are nuts. I don't think I've spent more than $2500 on my car in mods, and it runs hard as ****. I don't care about appearance or sound **** though, so that keeps the totals down for me. Rims get expensive.

About $7,000 if you count both sets of wheels (18" Enkei WDMs, and now 19" Axis Mods) i've had on the car.

im pretty sure your the most negative person on this site about the cobalt.
Why even own one if all you paln on doing is bashing it 100% of the time. Just in the past 3 threads i have read you say negative things about/to the cobalt and its owners.
If your a member of this site then why not have some fun and provide positive answers instead of having an uneeded comment about "that doesnt deserve the SS badge" or "cobalts are slow" or why mod a cobalt". just stfu with the bullshit or go away.
/rant

Anyways, I just got my Cobalt last month and havn't but any (besides wash,wax,gas,oil) money into it. But I plan to put about $3000 into it by the time it's paid off.

lol, no, SilverSS is. He got into an arguement with me saying that "all exhausts on Cobalts sound like ****" and that "modding a Cobalt is a waste of time".

****, i clicked to soon. I forgot about the summer tires and wheels I just bought online. I'm up one category i'm in the 3000 to 5000 range now:

AEM Intake: ~$197
Hurst STS: ~$190
TQ Damper: ~$180

Stage II,
Exhaust: ~$1100

Installation of
Stage II: <$300

Wheels and Tires: >$1800


So, damn close to $4000, holy **** I didn't realize it was that much.
