Almost wrecked my car today.
Today it was roughly 27* according to the car, but the sun out, it felt mid/high 30's.
Anyways, roads were dry. My tires are bald (too many burnouts (pics coming soon :P)).
Driving about 45-50ish on a 40mph road, i check my mirror's (like a good driver), i look up and there is a red S10 with alot of equipment in the bed..it stacked maybe 2 feet above the top of the cab....the truck is 1/2 way into my lane going maybe 10ish mph..
i immediately swerve out of the way, ...this put the car in a extreme fishtail, but i pulled out of it. i slowed down...and held out the lucky finger....the guy drove by...he was about 60......i pulled over in a nearby parking lot...and smoked a cigarette..i was pretty shaken up.
then i went bowling..and im happy again.

The cobalt is an extremely forgiving car in the handling dept.
You can usually just let up off the gas and it grabs back on to the road. With FWD if your on the gas and you start to understeer you can just lift and you pick up traction again.
