F'in truckers. Rage in a cage!!!

This morning I'm heading down Bedington Trail and two of those F***ers have both lanes slowed right down because they have full loads of dirt and travelling side by side then the one in the right lane at the last minute decides he needs to get into the left lane to make a turn....bunch of ID-E-OTS that drive them things.

yea well it sucks when your paychecks are lame cause your company doesnt have enough work for you to comlete an 8 hour day, its been a struggle to make a 6 hour day in the last 2 weeks. its nice getting of early but it sucks when you have not as much money

Yep. I guess I aged myself there. I was 17 (23 years ago) when I got my first car but used to take my brothers corrolla and push it down the street and me and my buddies would go cruzing down to bullshit corner to watch people race when I was 15.

After the Sylvan lake group tint peal. I got everyone a deal at "The Car Salon" here in Calgary. They do good work. Are you in Calgary? I would go with the metal tint. All five windows for 250 to 300 and 40 for the front window eyebrow.

Here's thier web site.

but to each thier own.
I didn't get good gas milage with the cobalt.hahah I never got over 250kms per tank in the city. It the same in the city with the ta and way better on the highway. crusing at 140k is 2000rpm.

yes, however not recommended, seeing as how we live in gravel city...

and metal tint is a normal tint just with a metallic hint to it, keeps your interior temps lower in the summer months

there is currently no way to tune a 2.2 (to my knowledge) therefore your best bet would be to go with bolt ons, intake, full exhuast (headers, DP, catback) and then eventually get into a few more serious things, 2.4l intake manifold/ throttle body etc..etc...

a bolt on is exactly how it sounds, it bolts right in without much hassle, always easy to do, your dealership should be able to do most of this BUT if thats the case i would stick to gm performance parts

tuning would change around how much fuel is being dumped into the cylinders, changing air fuel ratios, changing your timing, etc...

the bolt ons would take place of the stock part your taking off

The metal tint keeps the interior of your car cooler and resists faiding by reflecting the light input to your car. It also won't fade or turn colour on you over time.
