Thanks for all you do and have done.
yeah, usually you would have to either drain all the fluids, and make sure the sustem is dry so rust doesn't form, or put addatives in everything. luckily, i have awesome parents, so i drove all the way to california from north carolina and put it in their garage. its up on blocks, with only 10psi in the tires, plus they start it about once a week and let it idle for ten minutes, and every couple of weeks my dad puts in in gear and lets the tranny spin up.

thanks for all the support guys, and for those of you that've been over seas, i want to thank you for serving too.

the one thing i appreciate the most is hearing that people are behind the troops, especially with the press being so against this war

ps. for all you canadian guys, although im an American soldier, i work for a canadian general attached to my unit

As a Canadian, I say thank you to you and all of the other military personnel, who are serving to help make freedom something everyone can have.

Stay safe over there! Come back safe and sound to your Cobey!

BTW, I'm turning over 30,000 miles this week for sure on my 06; but I doubt mine will stay that low for too long, I drive 70mi round trip every day for work :P

im with the 509th FSC, 504th BfSB. it sucks cause i havent the slightest idea where im going cause my company supports an entire brigade and the brigade is getting split up for the deployment and i dont know where my support team is going. either way its gonna be a long as time to be away from my car and my wife...(in that order)lol

haha, well, hope your wife doesn't suddenly take an extreme intrest in the preformance abilities of cobalts and jump on here, haha.

well, im technically attached to Corps's STB, but im on a generals PSD team, never saw that one coming, but i have a pretty sweet deal. im just not liking the whole 15 month thing. look at it this way, ill have my car paid off in the next 6 months. and the rest of the deployment ill sit online just ordering parts, cuz ill have nothing else to spend my money on.
