Bmartz1991 Trades In His Cobalt
#29
Good to see there are plenty of people here who love their Cobalts as much as I do, which I guess shouldn't be surprising since it is a Cobalt forum.
I'm also one of the people who would gladly stop DD the Cobalt just to keep miles off it. I've contemplated buying a different car to DD, but I just can't afford to currently. I do use my wife's Toyota Matrix pretty often, though.
I'm aware my Cobalt with 121,500+ miles and counting isn't worth much, but the monetary value isn't as important to me as the sentimental value.
Congrats on the Cruze, bmartz. Keep that Cobalt looking pristine!

I'm not letting the salt destroy my Cobalt. I don't care what the car is worth, to me it's priceless.

I dunno. im back and forth with the whole daily thing.
Its a car, that's meant to get driven. I don't quite understand having a car you drive rarely unless your car is a pure race car and cant be DD'd.
However its everyone's choice.

I'm like that too but living in the heavily congested area I live in has changed my mind. I don't care about my car breaking... But everyday I see people nearly wreck into others due to their lack of attention... Even this morning I watch this lady almost change lanes right into another car while she was on the phone, the car was had a bright torqouis green car....and the worst part was she didn't think to hang up even though she almost nearly caused a serious accident.

It all depends on how you drive it. If you keep the miles low on your car but floor it and rev it out every time you use it then it isn't going to last any longer than a car with double the mileage that's just driven normally below 4000rpm. I take very good care of my car and part of that is having the self control to not floor it and drive like a retard every time you're behind the wheel. Just because you have a fast car doesn't mean you need to drive it that way every day you're in it.

I don't have any Cobalt problems currently lol
Money pit is ******* right.
So slow, but watch a Cruze SS come out now
Not sure if it'll be a collector car, but time will tell.
It makes perfect sense for those of us who never want to sell the car. If I planned on getting rid of the car at some point I would drive the **** out of it.

I love my Cobalt. And that is exactly why I DD the car. Yes, it has 238K miles. Yes it never had any major problems. Original: suspension components, battery, water pump, alternator, A/C compressor, timing chain, and rear discs, (would have been serpentine belt except STG 2 belt now).
If I destroy the engine, then I'll probably just buy a new crate engine if possible.
I have mod which help car performance, but also help avoid other drivers' mistakes. In addition, I also do some HPDE to improve my driving. I need to get back into autocross. There is no substitute from handling an emergency lane change using autocross skills.
