Hey everyone

Ill keep the story to a minimal, I bought an 07 Cobalt LS 2door coupe. Im impressed with the cobalt, the LS makes for a great commuter car, plus you get a decent ride for what it sells for. It replaced a 91 Camaro that I bought 3 years ago and had 143k miles on the origional drivetrain when i handed over the keys. The camaro was no longer practical getting about 11 mpg city, driving conservatively (what my drives usually consist of) Im a car nut and a gear head, i like working on my own cars and enjoy driving both long distances and on spirted runs (at early hours when there is no traffic ofcourse). Ive been lurking for a while and you all seem like a cool bunch of guys. Here are some pics.







Engine w/o the hamster wheel looking cover thingy



When you drive an old car you get used to being prepared



Really comfortable interior, having a built in audio input totally rocks, as you can see its a 5spd, my personal preferance.

I say it every time. Clean trunk lids look the best on LS/LT cobalts. Good choice
