a few things you love about your car?

Well...I know that you have to like something about you car. Otehrwise I'm sure you wouldn't've bought it. lol. So what is the best thing / combination of things? Tell us what model you have then proceed:



2006 Cobalt SS n/a coupe...black

1. I like the rims. I have the 17 inch high-polished ones. At first when I saw the new "official SS wheels that every SS has" I didn't liek them at all. I thought the little center circle around the hub was too big. But after the 17 inch polished ones were released I loved them. I like how they're so shiny.

2. I love my engine. Run that 2.4 on 93 and it's awesome. Great feedback, and great midrange. " Tune yer NAWZZZZ time and run 9's. " lol.

3. I love when my car startles me. I love when I'm walking through the parking lot, half paying attention, and I see the Cobalt and say " Damn, that things nice! " Then I remember it's mine. I love that. Having all sorts of people compliment me doesn't hurt either.



Let's hear 'em!

2005 Cobalt Sedan

I love the trunk space
I love the Pioneer premium sound system w/ MP3! (if it only had a USB plug or iPod plug)
I love the surprise on everyone's face when they lose a 4 cyl SEDAN!
I love the way it drives, even at 95MPH I can hold it in the lane with only 4 fingers (2 each hand)
I love the gas mileage!
I love the insurance discount, because of the built in car alarm. (i.e.) It shuts off the fuel to the engine when it's broken into

I really happen to like the OEM "tuned (if you will)" exhaust. The ones on the SS n/a and SS s/c with the chrome tips and the raspy tone. I had a friend do a film clip behind my car yesterday. Man...that thing sounds sweet. But damn that 4k-ish rev limiter for idle revs.

* throws a stone at the rev limiter *

'05 SS/SC

I like the fact that I STILL haven't seen another one on the road. I used to have a Camaro, and I used to see another one just like mine 2 or 3 times a day.

I like the fact that nobody knows what it can do. Those civics that pull up beside me and rev their engines have no clue that they're out of their league, and the RX8s, S2000s, and Evos have no idea that they're in for one hell of a race!

I like the fact that it's a GM... always been a GM guy.

Well... I must say it.... I LOVE this Injen SRI. Nice and loud without being tacky, and you can really hear the engine note change with the VVT kicks in. Awesome....

1. I love the gas milage. What? 100 miles driven on a tank of gas and still a little under 3/4 of a tank left. What?
2. I love the attention I get from the females (Being PC). (Let's get some chicks. Yeah just like that? -Dane Cook)

2006 SS S/C

The Recaro Seats
The Acceleration
The Big Honkin spoiler that makes the rear view mirror useless.
The Nice "thump" of the Pioneer sub in the trunk.
The 18" rims
Corners like a dream, I have problems relizing how fast I'm actually going.

This car has everything I've wanted in a performance car since I was a kid (short of 400 SB, and it being a Camero).
