Took my Cobalt Home

So this past weekend I drove with a friend in my Cobalt from NJ to MI for the Woodward Dream Cruise. We also went to the Pure Michigan 400 on Sunday and then came back on Monday. On the way back I stopped by Lordstown. Unfortunately, as stated on a paper from 2002, they no longer let people in the plant for tours or anything but I did manage to grab a few pictures. The SS is a bit dirty after ~1200miles of driving, but still looks great in front of a camera.

Yeah, that would have been nice to get down there last summer... My friend drove by and grabbed pictures of it when they still have the Cobalt and G5 on the banner.

You went to the plant tour too? That was a fun day. I rode with my friend in his black 08 LNF. Was the only wingless/shaved one there.

Wow, yeah, that would be awesome. I'd love to see more hi-res pictures. When was the tour? How'd you guys plan it? I went in the front doors and there's a paper on the desk dated 2002 stating no more tours and what-not.

Btw, if the pictures are big I have an anonymous FTP site you can toss them on I'd really appreciate it!
