Ya i can't imagine anyone here saying they like tickets... 
or cops in that matter.. I respect them when they are doin their job but when they just roll around and hand out tickets for nothing is retarded. It's stuff like that, that gives cops a bad rep and name. Myself, i haven't had any problems with cops, but then again i don't have tint or anything really so all they can do is get me speeding or camera tickets, which those red light/intersection cameras are the biggest bs around... As if they need any more cash from tickets...
So speaking of tint, wheres a good place to go get tint? wanna get it done after the winter... I know mark does vinyl, does he also do tint on windows?

Agreed about the red light camera's and bc has proven that merely showing a presense and reducing the amount of speeding tickets and going after more serious offenses like drunk driving and not wearing your seat belt has reduced speeding by a lot. I'll find the source when I get home.
Like my ticket from a few weeks ago for doing 130 on the highway. I was going with the flow of the fast lane and he pulled me over. I don't know many people that do 110 on the #2 anymore.
On a brighter note, car seems to be fixed. Turned out to be a bad exhaust cam phase solonoid that wasn't working properly.

Fixed under warranty I hope.

ya thought it was gonna be under my extended ($100 deductible) but turns out my powertrain supersedes my extended so no deductible for me. funniest part is everyone knows me there and knows that my car is modded and knows that i don't come in unless i know for sure that it is covered under warranty and they made a comment about my check engine light coming back on because of my aftermarket cat lol. it was quite funny if you know my history with shaganappi and everyone that works there.

ya i know i was too. i was totally expecting to pay the deductible and when the girls called and was like ya no deductible i was that ******* rocks. and the car's got so much more pick up and go now that the cam is working properly again 
i broke one of the connections at the top when removing it from the fuel tank, just an fyi to everyone they are super brittle so be careful, I just happened to accidentally tap it and it just cracked off. I got a new one tracked down, 400 dollars later..........damn it

I'm all about stock appearing cars.
If I was to deviate though, I really like the looks of THIS car... really low, really clean.
That guy no longer runs those wheels, which is a shame;
hugging the ground like that, with those black rims c/w yellow pinstripe really looked great on that car.

that's the only not stock appearing cobalt I've liked the looks on.
the clean/debadged, slammed, spoilerless look combined with the colour, blacked out wheels c/w colour match pinstripe - just set that car off.
BUT
otherwise, I'm all about stock appearing.
I do have a spoilerless trunklid here, but it is the wrong colour, and has a slight dent (should be an easy fix) - when I do get around to putting it on my car, I'm even going to put al the correct badges in the right spots...

I know that 
thanks for the offer, but maybe one of these othere guys here would be interested - if it's a matter of shipping, I know I will be down your way next year, I can always lug it back to seal the deal (and save on shipping).
I'll keep that in mind.
