If possible I'm keeping my Z24 for next winter... it's a warrior. 1White... if you're that worried get a bra; it's ugly, but so is an effed up front bumper.

Cause I liked it? and I can pay it off in 3-4 months instead of another 3 years. And the cobalt is one thing after another after another. nickel and diming me to death. plus 500$ car payment and 400$ insurance payment a month. If I get rid of that and get a cavalier for 4-5 thousand. I can have it paid off, its a beast in the snow over a cobalt ss/sc any day of the week here in CT, and I can boost it and make it a hell of a lot faster than the cobalt. plus insurance will be a buttload cheaper.

it was kinda cool but at the same time sucked because I had one shot to make it up the driveway. it only took about proably a full minute, which doesnt seem like a long time but for the size of driveway and when your actually in the moment of the whole minute ( if that makes sense ) it seemed like forever! made it up by myself, no one around to even help push lol.

Agreed, unless (for example), the friendly snowplow leaves 2 foot tall snow berms at the top of your steep driveway... At which point my front air dam will become a snowplow itself.

I may go all winter without washing mine... lol. We'll see. It only rusts if the salt has something to react with, IE water.
