Congrats on the new car and at 600 miles per day you should be out of warranty in about 4 months

Haha, very true. I have a company car and the Cobalt will be lucky to see 150 miles a week, probably far less than that.

GM Stage 2, AEM cold air, header, custom exhaust with either a Flowmaster or Spintech muffler, FM modulator hidden behind dash with iPod hookup in the glove box, Audiobahn 6.5" components for the doors, some better 6x9's with an Audiobahn amp running all those speakers, have two JL Audio 8" subs to go in the rear I want to make custom boxes to hide out of the way similar to the stock box on each side of the trunk, 235/40-18 BF Goodrich tires, Ingalls engine damper, need to flat black the A/C condenser / radiator to give it a cleaner look, smoke the tail lights and rear side markers. That's all I can think of right now.

Yeah I forgot that, that was one of my first comments driving the car. The stock shifter is very nice compared to many other stockers I have driven but I'd like a tighter feel from it to match the rest of the car. I want to get a carbon trunk to get rid of the wing and paint black later, and a carbon hood if I can find the right style.

I drove from the dealership to my brother's Friday night, from there back near the dealership to get some grub, home from there. In the morning I drove south to Cincinnati area for a hair cut, from there up toward Dayton to the brother's again, we had to jockey around to get my work car home, so he drove my Cobalt to my house following me in my work car, back to his place, washing and waxing, back home from there. Keeping in mind the car had 268 on it when I picked it up because they had to dealer trade for it.

Can't say I was, I haven't had the car up in that area in around two weeks or so.
