What's one thing you wished you didn't do to your cobalt, that you did anyways.

Not taking it in earlier to get it worked on this past monday. I've been waiting on a turbo and the tech went on break :l

Umm.. mine would probably be buying it. I absolutely love my car. I smile every time I drive it.. but being in college the work load I have is too much sometimes. I have to work full time to pay for my car/insurance/other bills and I'm a full time student. So yeah, paying off my base and just having money might be nice

Kinda wish i never touched the exhaust. Been plagued with leaks ever since. Few different setups just cant get it right. That aand maybe not paying it off before modding.

I wish I would have bought black leather instead of gray. At the time, I had 2 tone interior and I wasnt planning on switching over to full black interior but I got a hell of a deal locally so I switched it out. Now I have an island of gray seats lol

Why not use the two tone seats?

I wish I didn't buy this cobalt. One was enough. The second one was an asinine decision.

Bought an interceptor off a member for 180 that lasted only a month before I got a permanent black screen.

I suppose I could. I'll probably end up getting some Katzkin covers. I'd like to have some black TC seats but so does everybody else.

Read 97% of the OP's posts. I guess I was 16 once too I can't be too harsh.

Wasted years trying to make power with superchargers. Should have just turbo swapped it right out of the gate.

Messed with the exhaust on the L61, really should have left it with an LSJ DP and header. Sans resonator it was obnoxious, spent more money to fix that, still loud and semi-obnoxious.

On the LNF I should have left the CIA catless pipe alone, V-banding a cat in there just netted me leaks.
