When I was 14 I worked for a Plumming/Heating/Electrical company on a site for the summer, up to 16, so 3 years. Which I was making 5 grand a summer.
15,000 + the 10,000, -5,000 more for university

Where and when did you get the SS for 18k? that's before TTL I'm assuming right?

EDIT 8/9/05: It was at Hawthorne Chevy. As a matter of fact, I was there today (Monday) and they have a 2006 Yellow SS/SC on the showroom floor. It's perty
Total price is 24,500 i think. or close to that.

If you do have the money to purchase it, you have to figure in a bunch of other factors....being car insurance, maitience, more maitence(tires), plus ur a new driver at the age of 16 equals cops on your ass like theres no tomrrow. Not to bring ya down pal, but u will definitly mack this car up. Since your such a new driver, its just a matter of time before you get into your first accident. Trust me I was 16 at one time with a 77 Nova with 400ci small block. I was speed crazy and loved to light the tires up and attact a ton of cops. Plus I had my share of first time driving fender benders. Trust me you will do the same too. This car may be too much for you first car. My suggestion, get your self beater project car for the next couple of years, wait untill you graduate highschool or go to college then look into buy one. It's for your own good. Im not knocking you at all for you enthusiasm and interest in the SS. But My personal opinion is that it;s not for you just YET!!! Give yourself a couple of years. Just to give you an example of how much work is in this car....my buddy has one too, and we were both cruising and he hit a mega pot hole in NYC.....destroyed the rim and tire, and spent $800 to replace it....ouch.
Just wait a few years pal....plus you never know where the Cobalt SS will be in a few years.
Thanks

Congrats on the new purchase. My parents wouldn't even let me buy a car when I turned 16. I didn't get a car until after my first year in College and it was a 7 year old Beretta.
The Cobalt SS/SC is a fast car and it will get you into trouble before you know it so be careful and take a driving course for me
I also hope you got an insurance estimate before you ordered one, that can be a lot of cash for a 16 year old primary driving, unless your parents are putting you on their policy
All that said I would be freakin siked if I was getting an SS/SC for my first car. Make sure you use it to get some tail. However the back seat is kinda small..
