Got the Call 4:30 last night!

It's here fresh off the truck!

Yep, another white Sedan. I traded a perfectly good 4x4 Hemi in on this and is so nervous. Did I do the right thing? Oh well time will tell after the NT 05's in two weeks and Stage Kit in two months.

Out with the old

My last pic of the truck



And in with the new

Wicked and congrats! See you purchased it at MacMaster as well, excellent choice especially when it comes to their service department never done me wrong and I've been taking my cars there since I was 17 (would drive from Stratford -> London to get it taken care of). Pretty soon we're going to have two colours in the London area, White and Black .

Agreed. Back when I shopped around I went to all the dealers in the area and started in the service department! I would walk in and ask to see the Service Department Manager. The guy at McMaster was most helpful and friendly when asked about any problems regarding the CobaltSS.
Who was your salesman?

I dealt with Tom and Cleon (can't spell his name to save my life) over a 1 week period. Tom worked the deal with me for nearly a week (car sold at least once in the process but financing didn't go through for them), but the day I went in to finalize the paperwork and sign my life away he was off sick so Cleon picked up where he left off...overall I couldn't be happier with how it went.

You must be a pain in the ass and when they see you coming they play a malicious form of musical chairs, last sucker out the door has to deal with you when you walk into the showroom...j/k . If you wanna push them over the edge, go ask about snow tires and rims but tell them you're not willing to put an 18" rim on, chances are after dealing with mine you'll be finding your own car for handover, finalizing your own paperwork and doing your own vehicle orientation .

LOL... they asked me about snows today!

Asking for the event code pushed these guys over the edge for sure.
But after all they were not to bad, I got a great deal AND the car was on time.

I'm not surprised...mine was the guinea pig (bought in February) and saw more rims in a week than I think most cars will see in a lifetime! I went with the 18" Ikon Vision and Michelin Alpin PA3s both of which they gave me a very fair price on taking the 18" into consideration . Got to give them one test in decently deep snow before they came off and they performed well (I think my 16" on my LS were better, but that's just the larger sidewall) so I guess I'll see what next winter brings. If you're ever curious to see them they're stacked in my garage so just let me know.

I got the LSD, all I need now is the Stage Kit and the tires. Tires can make or break a car.





Thanks everyone.

I picked the car up and drove around a little, so far I am very pleased with the performace overall but...

Now I have a question. Is it just me or is there a lot of 'wind noise' from the front a pillars? I checked the rubbers and the door gaps, nothing seems out of place or anything. As a matter of fact the door gaps are better than my Cobra's.
