They picked him up in a base cobalt.

Bret (css.net member), has a brother that works at that dealer and got P's car all prep and washed up so it was ready to go.


P said he saw two hot hippie chick hitchhiking to Duluth...but he didn't give them a ride


pics will be posted up tonight...I think he's going into work for a few hours.

Whenever you do get her "broke in," make sure that you ALWAYS drive in Competitive Mode (hit the traction control button located down and right of your spedometer twice). Your 'Balt will feel MUCH faster. I don't even drive my 'Balt anymore without Comp Mode engaged. When Comp Mode isn't engaged, the car limits the wheels so they don't spin and you can really feel the car bog down when you try to get on it (ESPECIALLY when going around a corner (ie taking a corner at a stop light)).

Just got back from the bodyshop...

$5235.21 total. It might be a little bit more if they can't buff a scratch out of the quarter panel and if they need to do a wheel alignment.

Parts being replaced:
-Front Bumper Cover
-Front energy Absorber
-LT Bumper Bracket
-Grille
-LT Fog Lamp
-LT Headlamp
-RT Headlamp
-Hood
-Hood Latch
-Emissions Label
-LT "SS" Nameplate on fender
-Radiator
-Condenser
-Fan Shroud
-Aftermarket Hood Clear Hood Shield
-Aftermarket Bumper Clear Hood Shield

They also need to repair the door and possibly the 1/4 panel. Should have her back in a couple days.

I posted the wrong link for the second video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_DAPhOy2Fk

If you can't see the talent, then i don't know what to tell you. :p Check out the solo starting at 2:16.

I don't know of many bands that can sound that good live.
