Need advice.

So around Halloween I will finally be getting rid of my 15y/o Chevy Pickup. To replace it I will be getting a 2009 Cobalt SS/TC Coupe. This is set in stone. What I need advice on is color. I just can't decide between Black, Rally Yellow, and Imperial Blue. I really like all three and haven't been able to pick so I figured I would get outside input. Let me know what you think thanks.

All great color choices. But go with what you heart says, Black gets dirty and is hard to keep clean, shows all blemishes. Blue oxidizes and is a hard color to maintain. Yellow is pretty ******* cool, so well I know that was not any help but, I like your choices!!!!

I have a black Cobalt. As long as you wash and wax it religiously every week, it'll keep lookin' sexy.

I've always been a fan of black, every car I've owned up to this one has been black (or dark blue), but I have seen the cobalt's in yellow...and they look pretty slick.

Just keep in mind, yellow may draw the attention of people you don't want to be looking.

You should try to get all 3 colors lined up and then choose.

Yellow attracts way too much attention from the police. I got shot by a cops laser from over a mile away (Belltronics RX65 PRO Laser/Radar detector) But if you dont drive like an idiot then dont worry about it and get the yellow. Its the bestest color.

Well see theres my biggest issue. I have a lead foot. I got my DL at 14 and the week after i got a ticket going 90 in a 65 and the speedo in my truck only goes to 85. As far as selling it you probably wouldn't want it. I've been driving it wrecked for 5 yrs. One month after i got my license i was run off the road by a big ass farm truck who was going around a blind curve on the wrong side of the road. I hit the ditch and the plan was to slow down and get back on the street at the next driveway. Keep in mind i was 14 at the time. Anyway when i came out of the ditch the rearend jumped around on me and went perpendicular into the ditch right into a tree : But it still runs great. Even with 133,000 mi.

Ok, so I just found out that my friend totaled his HHR this weekend and is getting a Black Balt 2LT to replace it. That pushes me farther away from the black. I also happened to be cruising the dealership sites in town and found that one has a yellow SS. I haven't seen it so I don't know if it has the highrise wing, which i really want btw, but it looks like my decision is being made for me.

yellow isnt bad, but for me it just sticks out too much. Theres a yellow ss w/ black rims by me and it looks good.

I'm kinda outspoken so yellow would fit me, but black is really really hot. Which brings me back to my original problem.

When I was looking for my SS/TC I wanted to get blue. I think it's really hot, and it color matches with black better. I ended up getting black, because that is what the dealer had left. It had everything I wanted minus the RPD. I recommend making sure it has a RPD, LSD, and Sunroof - (not necessary, but loved. )

Don't get me wrong I love my car, but coming from a black SS/TC owner, I wish I had blue. This is my first black car and it's very hard to keep clean. After I go out to the barn to wash it, I drive it back up to the house, and it is already dirty. I've never had a blue car, but I still think it looks hot. I like the black on blue cars, but I am not the fondest of blue on black cars. Although, that may be the color combo I do. :-P

I think if you plan on any appearance mods, think of what kind of color combos you will want to do. Use that to help you choose the proper color for you.

I have never really liked the yellow cobalts, but some people out there have made them look super sexy!

In my short driving career, I've only had a red and a white car. Now black. :-P

I'm 19. I was in band in high school and my mom worked 2 jobs so I got my hardship license at 14. It restricts you to only driving on certain roads between 6am and 10pm. kinda sucks but hey I was driving.

Does anyone know how much it costs to get a car moved from one dealership to another? Like from out of state.
