well my sister's friend wants to buy it for her son's first car. I tried to tell her that it's way too much car for a kid. even for a first car, but she insisted that she would buy it because I take pride in my vehicles and take good care of them. so I said sure. as to the price??? I haven't quite figured that out yet

that sucks.

the quickest way that cars like this see their high attrition rate, is by first time drivers getting them.

It's long been my opinion that most kids (the parents will know if their kid is the odd exception) should have something gutless like a Chevette for a first car - it teaches patience, and how to best deal with other drivers, and in no way encourages aggressive/speeding driving habbits...
Chevette = <90hp
85-91 Grand Am (ect) w2.5L = 90(+/-)hp

I couldn't agree more with you man! I grew up drivning an olds delta eighty eight! cherry red with a white vinyl top! it was a decent ride! I also grew up on a farm so learning on slow equipment was our driver training! lol

I hate to have to sell my baby but I think I'll just get a truck and start rebuilding my project car!

So what's goin on with the cobalt meet? is everyone meeting up and driving down to B.C the friday?

last I checked, you didn't have any death threats - so you don't "have to" sell it.

What's the project car?
