So I got my Cobalt (2007) about 3 weeks ago, 295 miles on it and the front tires were shredded. My dad bought it through a GM rep in Atlanta and then sold it to me. The rep said the tires were new so when we got it we were in awe of what happened (not wanting to spend the cash for 2 new tires).

So the rep called back today after doing some research and said the vehicle was at Atlanta Motor Speedway during the Cup race and was a driver vehicle for one of the Chevy guys (hopefully a guy I like, Jr, Gordon, Stewart). So I am no longer peeved about the car having almost 300 miles on it since someone cool probably drove it (thus tearing up the tires).

Oh and the GM rep said I can have 2 new stockers and keep the "shredded" tires so it's a win-win.

Now if I could only find out who drove it and have them sign the tires I'd be a happy camper.

 

funny story

 

ha sounds like a good excuse for keeping you happy!

 

Sounds like your car got the **** beat out of it lol

CUBiker, I hope you asked for a new clutch too when you found all this out.

 

how is it i'm still running 3 of my original tires after 37k, and stock clutch too??? everyone else seems to blow through tires like tissues??

 

Ya I was worried about the clutch and other things but it seems fine for now so I won't be pissing yet.

And ya it probably got the **** kicked out of it, but I'm sure actual owners here do worse to their cars (at least a few of the stories I've read).

 

You know what that means right? Burn those shredded ***** off and show the vid. It better not be a ***** burn out either! Make those front tires pop! lol

 

Thats ok, I'm sure it won't be the last time his car gets beat.

 

nascar redneck beaing ftw!
