DJNateGnau 10-23-2005, 05:13 PM I'm in Alton, But I don't have a Cobalt
06LSCobalt 10-23-2005, 05:25 PM Ya im in Granite city my grandma always goes to alton for the casino.. What you got?
DJNateGnau 10-23-2005, 05:26 PM Squat.
I used to live in GC though.
06LSCobalt 10-23-2005, 05:41 PM How long did ya live here? I just sold my old integra to some kid up in Alton so you might see it around its that Stock Teal color and has the halo projection headlights and carbon fiber tailights with exhaust n stuff. (yes it was riced out but like they say everyone goes through that stage atleast once) So you going to be gettin a car soon?
DJNateGnau 10-23-2005, 05:47 PM Should be, But Nothing special. I lived in GC for about 7 years, To be Honest, I hated it.
06LSCobalt 10-23-2005, 05:56 PM I can understand y u would hate it. LMAO i was born here and lived here most my life i moved to ofallon MO for bout 3 years then to NC for 5 months but now im back here :mad: It sux ass i dont even hang out with anyone here i usually go all the way out to Ofallon. But if ur lookin for any kind of car i might have a 84 trans am with t tops and 112k miles for 1500. Not sure if thats something u would be interesed it with gas and stuff. It has the stock 305. But ya GC sux :p
DJNateGnau 10-23-2005, 06:04 PM Lol, Nah, I need a Gas-Miser. I was born in St. Louis and Moved to GC when I was 4, and moved when I was 11 to alton, and Moved back to GC(WTF for, Who knows) then moved back to Alton, Then back to GC(notice a pattern?) Then back to Alton And the same, Once more. I am here for good, Now. Plus all my family lives in GC(except my Dad's Family). I don't like my family. lol
stlurbanpunk 10-24-2005, 12:48 AM Dont mean to break up your little convrosation..... I live on the out out reaches of stl, but i live eat and learn in the city limits. Just as the other, i too have no cobalt, but i have the one it replaced...lookin to be gettin one within a couple years...the wait is killing me. the only place i know of is s lindberg which is 20 minutes or less from my house.

06LSCobalt 10-24-2005, 11:43 PM That would be cool to do.. I wont have my cobalt yet but would it be cool if i drove up in my grandmas neon? lmao i just wanna meet some ppl with some cobalts so when i get mine i can cruise with ppl that have similar cars... None of the ppl i hang out with i dont think can even afford a cobalt til the cobalt is 10 years old then they can buy a used one maybe :D
DJNateGnau 10-24-2005, 11:45 PM That would be sweet! I would definitely come, If it was close enough.

hedgehog 11-01-2005, 10:29 AM where at in IL?

tallyphotog 03-02-2006, 11:22 AM Webster groves here! is that still a regular thing at Ruby's on lindbergh? this thread is kinda old.
BFEkid 03-07-2006, 07:54 PM i live 30 mins south of stl
Spastic Chicken 03-07-2006, 08:01 PM Yah, a bunch of the J-Body owners are mostly former owners and have bought other vehicles.
I went to that fuddruckers meeting, no offense intended (just constructive criticisim), it seemed clickish.
krzykrl 03-15-2006, 03:31 AM :twothumbs we should get a cobalt/redline meet, now that there are more people with cobalts and relines around here.
boosted06 03-20-2006, 01:22 AM I'm originally from St. Chuck. but I'm stationed in AZ. , my lil sister still lives in stc with my dad she has an ls cobalt I'm tryin to get her on the forums and stuff . good to see that stl is still holding down . I got my car at jim trenary and its black with red interior don't know if that is the one that you wanted ? ...
krzykrl 04-11-2006, 03:12 AM okay anyone around here got the stage kits yet? i talked to my dealer and they had no clue about them, after talking with the guys and showing them these kits exist by giving them the part numbers to look upi realzed i didnt want to get the kit installed there. one of the parts guy was saying how they might not be able to flash my ecu because of all the people wanting their rev limitier raised and GM putting a stop to it or soemthing.?? he then went on to talk about the 9 second cobalt that broke the Gateway record saying how the car was stock and right from the dealer.. at that point i just turned and walked away :lol:
any suggestions on a chevy dealer that has some techs familiar with our cars would be appreciated :twothumbs
DJNateGnau 04-11-2006, 03:17 AM What dealership was that???
krzykrl 04-11-2006, 03:20 AM lou fusz out out by midrivers.. the parts guys are idiots. is it so hard to hire guys who take interest in what they sell or at least know about the products
DJNateGnau 04-11-2006, 03:24 AM Cripes...
2006BlackSS/SC 04-13-2006, 10:25 PM well i live in warrenton missouri hope to get to a meet sometime
LouRider 04-14-2006, 12:55 AM Hey, I live in O'Fallon. I am going to get a cobalt soon and I want an S/C. I'm going to turn 18 in August. And I would like to know how much everyone is paying for their car. My parents said they will pay the insurance so that is not a problem. I am going to be making the payments and want to know what some people are paying.
Cody_Richardson89 04-14-2006, 12:56 AM I live near mt. vernon, IL, so just a short jot on 64 over to STL, but i dont have a balt yet
philco_3 04-14-2006, 01:27 AM okay anyone around here got the stage kits yet? i talked to my dealer and they had no clue about them
I brought the part numbers with me to my dealership, Wiers, and they said they could get it, but I'm real iffy about paying the 1000.00 for parts and labor
krzykrl 04-17-2006, 01:22 PM I brought the part numbers with me to my dealership, Wiers, and they said they could get it, but I'm real iffy about paying the 1000.00 for parts and labor
i know exactly how you feel. i think im the first or only SS/SC my dealer services so far. for my first oil change they came out and said that i needed synthetic for my "high performance engine" i was like no shit. they seem to have no clue and treat it as a regular cobalt. if anyone knows of a good trusted chevy dealer please inform us :twothumbs
rnjmur 06-09-2006, 01:35 PM I have been to a couple different dealerships for odds and ends and the best one I have found yet has been Johnny Londoff. They were the first dealership I went to that didn't try to tell me that the SS has all the same service requirements as the regualr cobalt. I may take my car there to have the Stage 2 kit installed... If I ever get it that is... been waiting 5 weeks now and still waiting...
I got into an argument with the techs at Trenary when they put regular oil in my car. I guess the big sign on the oil cap that says Mobil1 or synthetic oil only is just for show.. HA! Finally they agreed to drain the oil and put synthetic in without charging me for another oil change. I did call and complain the GM after which I know have the next 4 oil changes for free... :)
JKennedy1612 05-07-2007, 03:18 AM What's up guys...I live in Ballwin

goto weber chevorlet on 270 and olive. talk with the chief mechanic. That is where I purchased mine, and the man seems to know his shit. They also treat me really well there. That so far is the only dealer I go to.
