Those were my high beams, which are very bright and throw light a long distance. The problem is the camera doesn't pick up light very well at night, no matter how bright it is, seems to be a problem with most dash cams.

Smoked a raccoon, looks like I'll be replacing the front lip on my car.

At least it's still driveable. No animal I've hit(tons) have put me on side of road. Thankfully only birds have been hit with the cobalt. Side mirror and bumper scratches. But my last car took the brunt of many possum, racoon, bird, deer, porcupine, almost a black beer one night(that would've sucked) and one close call with a small dog, but he managed to jump onto the hood and run off.
$3900 covered by insurance. Surprisingly since it had over 200k on it at the time.
Jbodies... Such a good car that they are skipped by most recalls. Cheap and easy to fix, great paint from fractory, 2600ish lbs. Miss my baby.

My first car was a J-Body (1990 Cavalier Z24). Bought it in 03, ran pretty well for a while. Let it sit though when I went away for college, parents never moved it for the first 3 months. Came back for christmas break, and the brake booster / master was shot. Damn near had a huge wreck b/c of that.
As for what I've done today, replaced the blown speakers in the front doors. REALLY needed too.

Drove 125 miles one way to see the Tudor United Sportscar Championship at the Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. It was an awesome day too bad the car got rained on and its now filthy.

Hi Everyone.
Today's Cobalt project.
I had several missing/damaged plastic push pin things. I just got new ones from the dealership yesterday. They weren't that expensive thank goodness. Well so I replaced those.
I also replacd my passanger side washer nozzel. It wasnt spraying very well. IT sprays very well now.
Projects on the to do list still:
Replace backup camera
Replace Hood release switch
Replace Fog Lamp switch
Calibrate Aeroforce 2Bar map sensor
Replace white analogic face with a black one

no^
and I played with the NLS for the first time since installing my STS... great success
... except second gear, how the hell do you keep traction? I floor it in second and the tires just spin, and they're pretty new tires to, lots of tread.
