I'll probably do that if the weather is as good tomorrow as it was today. It needs some lube though, creaks with it opens.

i love the skip shifting...

hard thru 1 and 2...into 3...then wait im already doin 60+...then into 5th right away.....

i just drove the SS/SC for the first time today (testdrive)..... i gotta work on my stick driving a lil more.

i gave the 70 year old sales guy the need for depends i think.... hes gonna have nightmares tonight of wheel hop and tranny failure.

Im driving the saturn RL by the end of this week. I'll probably end up with an RL...cause they are 3g's cheaper than the cobalt up here in Canadiaville

when my buddy and i drove the car we noticed 2nd was really long.

my buddy has a 03 pontiac vibe 5spd..... where he normally needs to be in 4th in his car...

he could be in 3rd in the cobalt.


and i could drive around on city side streets in 2nd gear

Sounds good.

I should have my SS S/C or T/A WS6 by then (depends what I can find), so let me know when you decide to come down
