Calgary - random talk thread
slicks (iirc) cannot be had for anything taller than a 15" rim;
from what I've read your car will be able to have 15" rims, but the outer top corner of the calipers will have to be shaved for clearance (depending on the rim chosen);
otherwise you're going to need to look for a drag radial.

Veridct appears to be in ~ this has officially been the worst summer in a decade!
I thank the Lord that I was able to spend some of it in Winnipeg/Portland/Los Angeles - because this weather we're dealing with right now is down right de-press-ing.

wow I didn't know that was actually caught on video! - thanks for posting!
same stuff.
These are actually starting to show up occasionally in the scrapyards;
There was an '08 G5-GT last year december-ish in pick in pull - iirc the back half of the car was cut off, and the front end had damage - but I could tell it was a GT because of the "VVT" valve cover.

geeze-louise here's a cheap car;
http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...AdIdZ225391322
FYI: it's an '08 'Sport' that appears to have been badged as an 'SS'
wow... he more you look the better the deals are to be had;

HEY! ~ it's my car's twin!!

FYI: when I last checked there were 5 '09 Rally Yellow SS's built for Canada, four of the five had RPD/Highrise spoiler ~ I'd be curious to know how this one differs from my car (maybe it's non-LSD?!? ~ because I'm seeing the same radio & interior colour)
EDIT:
I'd like to hear from some of you guys...
would you see it as a selling feature, or would you be more hesitant to buy a Cobalt SS where the vin said it was an LS? (the pros would be that it would be cheaper to insure than a 100% legit SS)
