Thank You for Considering My Car as YOUR Cobalt of the Month.

Favorite pics no doubt. Second pic would look so much better if your front wheel was turned the other way! Said it multiple times though, those rims are so kickass!

 

Thanks. Now that I look at it, you're totally right. LOL. I'm still learning how to take pics. Can't wait for things to get green and the weather to be nice.

 

You know...I love this car. And dat ass...she sexy

 

How comes you don't have this on here?


I just seen your shifter wiht the black and red knob in the video and just about fell in love with it. Looks sick as hell man!

 

is that die antwood in the video?

 

I try to keep it fresh. I think the images should represent how the car looks right now. For instance, if you pop my hood it will look like the pic. Since the pics in the slideshow/video have my old low rise trunk, I didn't use it.

Yep. Good stuff.

 

i think you got it this time man.

 

needs girl pics.

this one is my fav pic...just looks good lol dat asss

 

Thanks Mark. Yeah the car looks different now. With the wingless trunk and the newly-painted front bumper with the license plate holes removed and with the door dings/dents removed, it looks way better. We'll see.

Waiting for the weather to warm up and then I'm gonna try to get pics with chicks. Hoping to find some cheerleader carwash fundraiser thing. Thought about maybe going to the strip club and then giving a few strippers ten bucks each to pose in thongs behind the building next to the car. Maybe even a few topless pics or something. LOL.

 

So clean.. I love it

 

where did you get that shifter?

 

Thanks. I'm a fan of your ride as well.

I had it custom made. I gave the TWM shift knob specs and design specs to a guy and he put it together. Normally I use the TWM M1 Abrams knob, but when it's hot or I want it to look good, I throw the black/red knob on. I have the lock nut set to the height of the 5spd knob so it's a quick swap. Just unscrew one and screw on the other. Kind of like changing shoes.
