That is unbelievable. That's about what I paid for brand new polished 18" and brand new tires. I hope he's joking with that price.

 

Well I have heard of people putting adds on kijiji about parts for cobalts just to see who will reply.

I heard one guy had some weird perofrmance part for the cobalt and his buddy replied to it. The guy thought and still thinks it was the funniest thing ever. Not cool for a friend to do to another friend

 

hahahaahaha i'm so doing that to you

 

lol try it. I know enough about cars that if a part shows up that I never heard of, well I would probably call the guy an idiot! lol just saying

 

oh i'm gonna do it and specifically send you the link for it

 

hahaha okay. you know how to get a hold of me! lol

And make it a good one like a flux-capacitor or some high frequency oscillation wheels for hovering!

just to name a couple! lol

 

or muffler bearings and blinker fluid combo

 

lol na I filled up on fluid before I left calgary and I just changed my bearings thanks!

 

well damn

 

Sorry bub, I usually don't make things easy! lol

 

mine is a lowrise.... i was there this past weekend, met there with some buddies and went to kimberley so it sat at my parents all weekend, didnt drive it around....

I'll see what i can do, pretty busy at the moment, just started my work week

 

Somebody on Twitter just said gas is 179.9 in Banff

 

doubt that

 

Yeah, it's BS the highest price in Vancouver is 127.6 as of an hour ago. Given that Vancouver has 40 cents tax per liter versus 24 cents in Alberta... it's impossible.

 

oh?

Tie was the guy who I liked (and I understood you didn't like);
I think Mike(? or what's-his-nutz) was the second in charge under Tie, and became the service manager after Tie left;
What's-his-nutz brushed me off over <$30 (@ full retail ) in parts citing that an observed scuff on my sub (that I wiped off btw) was the cause for my sub mounting hardware to break - not the fact that it wasn't installed correctly at the factory...
When that was my first issue, and it was over virtually chump-change, and would have been able to be billed to GM for faulty assembly - yet I was virtually flipped the bird, that was enough for me to not be interested in coming back.

Can you tell me the name of the new service manager?

If this is the case, I'd love to talk to the new guy...

I have been going to Jack Carter mostly because they're close, but I'd also like to at least install an aftermarket DP (maybe even catless), and I know JC will not honor any of my warranty if I brought it there with that... even though I got lip service this past week that would contradict this...

that sounds right...

you really might be surprised what some people think parts are worth...

 

went to hang out with graham tonight.... mom shut that one down. said "the roads are bad i don't want you driving on them if you don't have to." she makes me mad sometimes

 

dude;
1) you're a minor, you live under your parent's roof; you don't know how good you got it...
2) your parents bought you a (virtually) new car, and (probably) pay your insurance - again I say; you don't know how good you got it...

suck it up

driving does suck right now - and it's just too cold...
stay home...
stay warm...
watch some star trek, and be just like me

 

i know that i dont have to pay bills, or rent or anything i just wish my mom would let me do whatever i wanted to a degree. like i would like just to be able to go out and do what i want when i want. as for point 2, they paid 3k (they paid 3k for my brothers too) and i have to pay the rest plus winter tires. i ended up having to pay 1900 including the tires. its been 5 months and ive got it down to 1400 lol. but i spend alot of money on food and small things like that and they add up. not to mention gas prices aren't helping either

 

Stop doing that is my advice, I used to do that a lot (and still do). It adds up ALOT. How old are you anyways?

I try to cut out buying fast food, it's more money for my car/schooling. Going to mcdicks 5 times in a month is pretty much costing the same as a tank of gas depending on how much you can pack away (building houses works up an appetite for me ).

Don't nickel and dime yourself into debt.

I agree with this guy ^. eat your parents out of food while you still can! Lol

 

well i eat my food when i can its just im 16 (so close to 17!) so i eat ALOT and im usually not home so i grab fast food lol. in one month my spendings equaled my earnings (about 350$) and it was all food. like this week alone i spent 15$ for lunch and like 5$ on snacks and ****

 

Yea man, if you only make $350/month then eat your parents food (hell, I still do that sometimes haha). Are you still going to school then? Get up earlier and make a lunch or something. It'll taste a lot better thans some shitty cafeteria food anyways .

Joel

 

i got up yesterday to make one and we didnt have bread so i left for school. then last night i looked for the bread in our freezer and we still didnt have any so i couldnt make a lunch this morning. but mcdicks twice and subway today isnt tooooo bad

 

steve does auto value deal in any performance parts at all, specifically nitrous kits? if so can you get a deal on any?

 

Mcdicks twice is at least $10 and subway for a meal is another $10.

Now we have $20. A Michelna lasagna is currently on sale for $0.87 at my local Superstore. You could have had a month of lunches for the price of those three meals. Or have those three meals for under $3 (with tax!). And thats just an example. Buying some of your own food is even cheaper than eating out.

We've now (hypothetically) saved $17 or 6% (Yes that much) of your entire monthly income.

(Damn, after calculating this out for myself I'm going to start kicking myself in the ass not to do it either).

Not trying to come off as an ass, just some helpful advice from someone who is not much older than you living on their own (by choice of course.)
