Added, this summer ill be going to the dream cruise with sardelli's maybe see you there. Or ill be down in a zl1 or cts-v.

But got to go. Maybe hit you up tomorrow after school.

 

I'll be there either in my M3 or probably something new, I'm a car ***** haha. The dream cruise is fun but every Friday and Saturday is awesome if the weather is nice. Lots of nice cars and its not a damn parking lot like it is on the Dream cruise.

Sounds good man, peace.

 

id say save the extra $$ and get a turbo. i remember when i got my brand new ss/sc when i turned 16, almost 5 years later then thing runs just as strong as it did from day 1 and its in as good condition too. i baby it too much.

 

I miss my 2006 SS. First car and that thing was immaculate. Sold it because I wanted a turbo then sold that because I wanted something cheaper so I went with my M3. Now I'm about to sell this and get a Redline haha.

The vinyl on the rims was a trial but you get the point.

 

How do u guys get ur insurance so cheap!? I'm 19 with a clean driving record and I went to get a quote for my 05 ss sc and its 450 a month the cheapest I found... So I put it on my uncles name who is 40 with a clean record for 180 a month

 

23 08 cobalt not SS ;-( Allstate every damn thing they offer $125 a month and a spotless driving record.

 

FYI if you're listed as an occasional user and you get into an incident they'll start questioning you and possibly friends / family to try and find out if you drive it daily. They can deny your claim and rape your dads record too. Also when you get older, companies will give you lower rates the longer you've been insured but not if your car is under someone elses name.

Personally, if I couldn't afford to maintain and upkeep my car by myself then I wouldn't even get it. Both of my parents make 6 digits and they still make me pay for everything myself, hell I even pay some rent. I wouldn't like them paying for my **** either though, makes me feel like a leech.

 

SS Cobalts are very high on insurance. My TC was about 250 per month in my mom's name. Now I've got my Evo in my own name at 20 and it's only 190 per month. Idk how some people get their insurance so cheap on SSs other than doing a lot of shopping around.

 

My insurance is on my moms name I'm almost 22 and for full coverage I pay around $100 a month. .

 

I wish I had my parents rates. My dad pays $500 a YEAR for his 2007 fully loaded diesel GMC Sierra and it's covered for $60,000. $250 a year for his '66 Malibu SS appraised at $45,000 and my mom pays $600 a year for her 2010 fully loaded GMC Terrain... I use to pay $493 a month when I bought my 2010 TC at 19. It's dropped to $387 now that I'm 21 and only have 1 ticket.

 

really? bike and TC? this kid is 16 hes gonna kill himself..... like the majority of new drivers get in accidents... esp with the new texting thing and smartphones and all that ****.... showin off to his friends.... cmon u guys eggin this kid on is gonna result in some bad **** happening

 

cobalts are first car material, and not that fast.

 

buy a junker like an old neon or cavalier. ream the **** out of it, and try to drive the car at its full potential, which im sure you will...you are 16 and you obviously like fast cars. then after you wreck it a few times and blow up the engine, buy a nicer car now that you have learned how to drive better and how to work on cars. If you crash your junker, don't report it to the insurance company unless you hit someone else or caused property damage. A junk car is not worth the insurance increase of making a claim. A good way to avoid crashing and learning good technique is to participate in autocross events.

I would never suggest a car with more than 200hp to anyone for their first car. You don't need a car that accelerates quickly to learn how to utilize the full potential of a vehicle. It is very important that you start with low power. If not, it will be much more difficult for you to learn the car. You will learn good technique faster in a car with less power. You should always start with less power, and as you develop your skill, then add power.

You are only getting yourself into trouble if you buy this as your first car and plan on doing any sort of high performance driving regardless of who buys it. If you wreck it, you will have to claim it on insurance because it would be too much of a loss not to. Then the next car will have to be a junker because you cant afford the insurance of a high performance car, and girls will laugh at you.

Long story short:
buy a junker and abuse the **** out of it while developing good technique. then buy a nice car and have less risk crashing it so you can enjoy it for longer.

 

^^^Agreed

 

big gas guzzling automatic fail boat. terrible car for the money unless you plan to make a drag car.

 

Evo end thread hha

 

z24 cavi or sunfire gt.... cheap and enough car for a new driver to learn on without hopefully killing himself or someone else

 

Insurance Rates BLOW

 

Finally some sense in this thread. lol.

 

Welp I guess I'm special because I had both the SC and TC and I'm still here. It deals with how mature you are, not you're age. To put it into perspective there is a location where a bunch of car people hangout of Fridays and Saturdays. Out of all the Cobalt owners who went there can you guess who acted the most mature and didn't do burnouts or try to race everyone?

Yup you guessed it right. Me, a 17 year old kid.

 

Maturity is also knowing your skill level and having the knowledge to respect a vehicle. A cobalt ss is not a car for beginners if you plan on driving the car to its full potential. It is too powerful and too expensive to drive like that.

Obviously you aren't interested in high performance driving and just want a nice car to tool around in with some power to play with every now and then, so for you it's totally cool. However, that is not the case with most people your age. They want to go fast and push the limits around the corners, but the problem is they don't know the limits or what to do when they exceed the limits.

I know that one day when I have kids, I'm going to send them through a racing school and have them attend many autocross events before I let them get their license. Then if they decide they want to go fast, they don't kill themselves, and they know how to respect the vehicle. Racing school and autox can be expensive, but it's less expensive than a new car, and a lot less heartache than losing a loved one.
