Got my baby yesterday
It may not be the best car in the world, or the fastest, or the snazziest, or whatever. But I went, and I bought myself a cobalt coupe. I got a base coupe with a spoiler. Cosmetically I'm planning to put on some nice 17 inch rims, a skirt kit, and I'm tinting the windows. It's victory red, which is the most gorgeous red I've ever seen.
Performance wise, I'm not sure yet. I want to do it myself, but my knowledge is limited. I want to up the horses a bit, but not until I can ride stick a bit better.
It's such an awesome little ride. It's pretty roomy, solid, nice steering, quiet, the stereo sounds weird, but no big deal, I'll get that taken care of. Yesterday was also the first day I drove around with a stick. I like it. I'm still a bit shaky, and I stalled a couple times today, but I'm getting the hang of it.
I love this car. I don't even give a shit if its the "next cavalier". I've driven my mom's 03 cav, and my 05 cobalt, and I can say that the cobalt is a much nicer ride.
I do have some questions. I've never had a new car, just my shit box cirrus that I didn't really care what it looked like (hell, it was PINK!!). What can I use to protect it inside and out? I bought some simoniz shiner stuff for the dash to make it sheen a bit. What can I use for the paint to keep it shining and to protect it from bird shit and alike? I also have a dog that'll be riding with me. Anyone have any suggestions for a waterproof backseat cover?
Thanks!
