My wife told me the other day that I drive a kid's car and that I'm gonna look silly driving this car when I'm in my 30's. Right now I'm 23 and I thought that I was gonna keep my car for a long time and continue to mod it over the years but now I'm rethinking that. She said I need to get something like a GTO or G35 thats more grown looking. I guess she's right but I am still pretty young so I guess I'm a kid.

 

in your 30's driving a heavily modded <by that time> cobalt smoking the doors off of a gto..to me would be having fun like a kid again....

 

Yeah! What's funner than beating a kid in the same type of car?!

I plan on keeping mine for a while and I'm almost 26.

 

Yep it sure is.... and I'm enjoying it too!

 

a cobalt is far from a 'kid' car, IMO. i love mine.

 

Well..... I'll be 31 next month and I love my car!! I would hardly consider it a kids car but if people want to look at it that way then so be it. Everyone is intitled to the own opinion!! Oh and I plan on keeping my car for a min. of 5 years, thats when its paid off..... hehehe!!

 

I'm 26, a government employee, and I drive an '07 orange SS/SC with a big wing! I love my car and I plan on keeping it for a while! I don't plan on getting a "grown up" car for a long time!

 

Guess I'm a kid too... turning 40 next month (acting like 20).

Bought my Balt for the overall performance/value.

My Balt avgerages 27-28 mpg in ATL traffic , 30-32 Hwy. It has the power to pass slow left lane drivers when the opportunity presents itself. I paid less than $18k for it. And it looks awesome.

I love my Balt!!!

 

******' a right, same thing goes for people calling it a chicks car.

Hot chicks drive the same car I do.

Guess what, cobalt meets = meeting possible hot chicks

What's so wrong with that?

 

I agree, Im 28 and love it. Not to mention Old like grandparents old people constantly come up and ask what kind of car it is and stare at it etc. They like the look. Then theres the older men in like AMG benz's and all that punch it on nice stretch of road and see me keep up. At the light dudes are like man thats quick what is that thing?

Its all in how you present yourself i believe.

 

Lesson #1 - Never listen to women

 

i'll be 27, driving an ss/sc. i could care less if it's a kid's car

 

punch her in the ovaries for the comment then scream at rats, poop down chimneys, and steal other peoples scabs

 

18 with a 2.4 SS, so far only one in this thread semi-considered a kid haha :P

 

26 here. i dont think my car is a "kids" car.

 

I can see where you are coming from. When I bought my GTO my girlfriend said that that she felt that the cobalt was a boys car and the GTO was a mans

 

I'm 18 with a 2.2 and I don't think it's a kid's car at all.

 

then I'm the 40 year old kid(not virgin)!!! LOL... I'll be 40 in 6 weeks, it's good to be a kid agein. Oh and I've always been a Toy's-R-Us kid.

 

**** I'm 24, in the Air Force, and have my 06 Cobalt SS/SC modded to holy hell, a gutted 95 Acura Integra Turbo'd, and my Chevy Colorado ZQ8. I don't think it's a kid's car at all. The reason being is that kid better have a good job because I know my first and second car didn't sticker for anywhere near $25K! To hell with what other people think, if you enjoy it keep rollin' the way you do!

 

well first off, you see TONS of you/old/middle aged people driving all kinds of balts all the time in my area... by no means would I consider it a "kids" car. Also, I do like he g35, but it's super expensive, and the GTO doesn't look any more like an "adult" car than the cobalt...

 

Im 17 and i guess a kid haha
but hey if someone wants to call my 07 Black SS/SC a kid car then whatever, but i wanna see if their "grown up" car can beat my kid car haha

 

im 25 and will be selling/trading the car in less then a year once its paid off for this reason... i love the car.. but its the wrong "image" i want to showcase... looking for a woman.. not JB.. JB loves the car... woman dont really care

 

That's funny, I'm 42 and I traded in a 2004 LS1 6sp GTO on my '06 SS/SC. The GTO was great, but, a bit too serious. The Cobalt is much more fun, handles better and get twice the MPG.

 

keep the car... trade up the wife

 

^^^ ROFL tell the wifey she's a little to "old" for your kid car
