got my g5gt cause I could not afford an sti,nor could I afford the GTI.LOL

 

Hey the g5 is an awesome car

 

my story: i'll keep it short.

i worked as a salesman at a chevy dealer at the time of purchase.

i wanted black.. but we had 6 ss s/c's on the lot. i decided to drive all of them, and pick the fastest one. as it turns out. the fastest one was black : but it did not have the recaros like the other black one. at the time i didnt know i was missing out on the lsd.. so i wasn't too worried about the seats. plus, i just like the clean look of a black car with all black interior.
i took it home that night. traded my monte carlo, and signed the papers the next day at work. (i even made a comission on myself.. only $50, cause it was what is known as a "mini deal" i sold it to myself for dealer cost )
end of story.

 

yet you can manage all those mods... hmmm. something is not right here..

 

4 months ago I was drving a 05 GTP COMP G and I decided I didnt want it any more, 2 days later I had a 07 SS/SC in my driveway . That is pretty much exactly how it went. I deciced I didnt want the GTP so I looked at ss/sc's and srt4's. Because the srt4 was no longer made and I wanted a brand new car, I bought the coablt WOO HOO!

had to be around 15 grand. rents wouldn't let me get a car older then 3 years, no more then like 50 thousand miles on it, and worst of all, no manual. My bro said his friend got an LS and he liked it, so i looked into them a little found the right color, and now here i am. I like it a lot, just wish it was manual =(

 

Yea I had considered getting an srt-4, but the fact it was no longer made kinda changed my mind so I got the balt

 

gee.this is interesting..had 1999 prelude love it was a beast...and then my boi bought an srt-4 .took me a ride in it and i fell in love with it...(dont know how to drive stick)...a week later traded the prelude for an 2004 red srt-4 haded for a week and couldnt get the hang wit it and had no time to really practice so 2 cars later roll over loan loss of equity puts me in an 2007 rally yellow ss/na auto....500 car payments and never buying an another car till it dies on me and finallly paid off

 

well at least you have the balt now. and thats all you need

 

true 500 payment sucks though...which was really my fault cause my g.f told me so...and i dindt listen i am a *******...and u know how jewish girls can be...their always right and smart

 

well this is kind of an interesting story...

i seen pics of the balts before they came out 05 and i like the ss alot, but was in now position to buy a car, already had a 99 tiburon and a 90 camaro. well in november of 05 my friend totaled my tiburon, leaving me with like 2500 dollars and a camaro. so i then decided i wanted to buy a new car, i test drove alot of cars, mazda 3, eclipse, rx-8, solstice and then a cobalt ss/na. i bought the cobalt the day i test drove it, because it was the only car that had the power i wanted along with all of extras i wanted for under 20 grand. only thing i regret is not getting an ss/sc, but when i get the hahn turbo kit i think ill forget all about the ss/sc.

 

Well I had a misfortunate accident near little creek amphib base. It was a head on collission with the base fence. Well lets just say if you ain't driving a M1-A tank you ain't breaking that thing. Well the police arived, took the report and said that my licence was suspended. So i ended up with a broken car no insurance to cover it and a 1995 kia sephia. Man I love that little thing. I got fed up with it quick tho. And november rolled by and started looking for a cobalt. Their were no SS/SC within a 100 mile radius in my in my home town Passaic New Jersey. The only one I found was a 2006 laser blue show room model. Got it for 19000. I needed to get the car quick because I had to get to work by monday. I'll break down that weekend. I got home on friday, saw the car, and got the loan on saturday (thank god for navy fed), drove home on sunday. Ever since then I've never been happier. Well their is that time I got married , but its a close second. My wife loves my car and always bugs me about what I will do next to it.

 

Nice man, its always good to have the wifey like the car!

 

Yeah funny thing is that 90% of the time i drive her HHR. The only time I drive it is to go to the car meets on the weekend. I love when both my girls get along, and the look on peoples faces when she smokes them.

 

i was 18 at the mall and saw it in there one of these cars that you sign up to win, i was like that's a nice little car, and i liked it alot. i had a 99 cavialer at the time, and over time i decided to get it once i had a full time job and could afford it.

 

Nice, if you already had a cavi then you were already in love with chevy!

 

you never win those mall thing =( sometimes i wish i did so that i could turn around and sell it to have some extra money

 

i was driving my 95 monte carlo ls and a 15 dollar hose blew..

then i knew it was time..instead of fixing my monte for the 15 dollars i went and bought my ss.sc!

sold the monte to a friend...who crashed it......twice

 

Sounds like you made a good investment

 

i was actually looking for an srt-4...i ended up going to look at one at a dealership and they had a black ss/sc right next to it
love at first sight

 

Yep same for me too

 

I was due for an oil change for my LT and when I went to the dealership I bought the ss/sc instead of the oil change

 

haha thats awesome

 

Same here I had a brand new accent for 6 months not even 10k on it but I got that after my camaro, did it cause of the commute partially, that didn't work, need power and economy. I had looked at it when they first came through our dealer almost 2 years ago but didn't give it much thought cuase my commute was not so bad then.

 

^ Yeah there were other factors of course.... But the whole Idea of going to get an oil change and leaving with a new car is funny as hell... When I told my parents they though I was crazy.... Until I took them for a ride of course...
