it's all in how you drive.

you don't need an AWD or 4x4 vehicle to get thru 4" of snow...... and it's not like your Cobalt is slammed to the ground.

that thing doesnt handle well on pavement let alone ice and snow. Nothing around us was plowed at all.

I didnt waste money on and SUV to have it sit in the driveway

what do you mean it doesn't handle well on pavement?

something wrong with it?

when i had my Cobalt, it did great in the snow..... summer tires and all. your Cobalt shouldn't be any different unless something is wrong with it.

in all honesty, i believe you did waste your money getting a SUV. last year's massive amount of snow was a fluke and doesn't happen on a yearly basis. living in Delaware and having a SUV or AWD vehicle strictly for snow use is absolutely pointless.

its the tires I think...not very great traction at all. Slips and slides with the smallest amount of moisture.

Its not just for snow. I need a car to drive during the winter and we needed a 'beater'. Plus we can easily sell it for twice what we paid so we'll most likely flip it at some point and get a sedan.

I'm a C5 crew chief, that's awesome I'll more than likely be there. Haven't seen your car around but I've seen a few cobalts. I haven't been to the track yet but I'm def down to go. One of my buddies just got a yellow srt4 maybe I could get him to go out there too.

I'm flightline, Monday-Friday right now so I'm down to go on Sunday. Yeah his car has a cf hood, I think it's stage 3 but he's having issues with it breaking up and misfiring but he said if he can figure it out he'll go to the track too.
