I earn everything I own with hard work DR06. I pay every month for this car and support myself so I am not a spoiled young kid like some of the people on this forum, not saying you are but I have run in to some kids who have their cars bought for them. Believe me though I was very careful when washing this all off, it did some clean though, I think there was minimal damage, if any at all.. so it was worth it in my opinion.

That's awesome!

I do this **** on a daily basis up here in Upstate NY. It's so fun.

Get some mud+snows though, they help out a lot over the summer tires. Ask me how I know.

I love my car, it is my passion. I pay for it out of my own pocket, my logic is use it to the fullest because it is going to depreciate quickly no matter what so might as well...

I have snows on it now btw, Wintersport M3's mounted on 17" Ion Redline wheels. (3mm spacer required)

The contis were like hockey pucks on the snow!

A: It's a Cobalt.
B: This guy had a blast.

Props, I myself wouldn't have hesitated either. Well the Nitto's would have. Enjoy YOUR car. Nothing better than that.

I love how you had your sunroof open while mudding

Nice job not getting stuck! I have to ask though, did you clog up your side exit?

Also noticed you made yourself custom mudflaps!


I think it could be fun to by a set of 2.2L springs and use those to go mudding.

looks like you had a lot of fun. i baby my car but in your situation i would've probably jumped on the chance to run my subie in the mud. scratches from a good time like that give a car their personality. i ripped off my rear diff plastic cover the other day in the ice & snow playing around. no matter what you think, a car is a tool, and a toy. on a rare occasion its k to make your baby scream a little bit

thats awesome!!! i was just giving an example. I work at a dealership, cars dont mean the same as they used to. I just want you guys to know, your car will experience more abuse than you can imagine during its PDI.

Trust me, I used to work for a dealership too! I know what you were getting at, just thought it was a good side-track since a bunch of people decided to criticize this poor guy...
