Has anyone else noticed that us S/C owners seem to have a disease where we constantly look for problems with our cars? Were these cars built on eggshells?

So anyway, I can stick my finger between my headlight and the front bumper, is this a problem? (but it's true, it's a big gap)...

the head lights are not consistant as I have tested this on many cobalts. most have the passenger side touching the housing scratching the paint. I took mine to get realigned.

same thing here... my passenger side is touching the headlight housing, the other I can stick my pinky finger in between! I talked to my bodyshop and they just said they "FIT LIKE ****!" to quote him directly they are all like that he said... and I am starting to believe him!

this is true as I have not seen one cobalt that did not have this problem and it was always the passenger side. I dunno why though but a dealer will fix it real quick and off you go.

Imagine having your car go through a big hailstorm...everytime I look at it I find more dents...

i fixed my passenger side headlight by putting a spacer in the middle on the top bolt that holds the headlight, it fits better than the other side now lol.

I would say it does not matter what car you own, if you are of a personality for example where rattles drive you nuts you will look to find problems in any car you will own
