Still have those moments where I think of letting her go. Looking at selling it to my son now. Keep her in the family and maybe one of the boys will throw the boost back on.

I'd sell my car but who the hell would buy it? That's what's going on in my mind.

There's a buyer out there but you wouldn't want to sell it at the price they'd pay. That's my problem right there. Just won't get what she's really worth so why take the hit.

Best reasonable offer, had the car 9 years. Fun was had, money was lost.

Yep I'd take as close to 6500 as I can get, just needs a new trans and some exhaust leaks fixed. Interior isn't perfect but its all there.

If I could get close to $6k i'd be a happy camper. Back in 2010 I test drove a 1991 SI and fell in love with they were askin $8.5k. Not on the market now but it would be fun to drive and easier to manitain. My lady is buttoned up pretty tight but my trunk is bare, doubt the buyer would really notice.

Outside of my experince with Vince and Trifecta I'm pretty content with how things went. Still haven't gotten the trans tune 100% and my last com with Vince he passed the buck and straight flaked. I still stand behind the fact that he should have released the software to the 05-06 crowd. I would have paid for it knowing I wouldn't have to wait weeks to get a tune dialed in. That's all behind me now and I'm just looking for a genuinely fun DD that does not and will not need modding. Not an active tuner anymore but I ******* love to drive, always will.

Exactly, that's why I own a semi, can't keep that stock either lol. The only vehicle that I'll keep stock would be the wife's vehicle, but my next vehicle will be a new or slightly used mercedies and I will keep it stock and enjoy it for what it is. Probably have some kids and try to grow up at that point.

Got kids, 4 boys and a granddaughter and we all love the drive. My little princess has fallen in love with the cobalt and the exhaust note. Whatever ride replaces the cobalt will have a tuned exhaust nothing more. Factory units rust out and in my eyes a stainlese steal exhaust is a must around here in the midwest.

So is vince supplying the trifecta tunes still? their new site makes no sense to me.

I found that the best way to get a Trifecta tune/retune is via BNR website. It seems that Bad News Racing has some sort of deal with Vince and works way faster that route.

Okay, so is BNR doing the tuning or Vince? If I recall the guy that is BNR on the forum was tuning TC cobalts with HPT right?
