Who else misses there BALT during winter?

First off this is not the thread to bash or say anything about why people shouldn't store their cobalt during winter bc it is just a cobalt.

This is a thread to merely talk about what we all miss when we haven't been driving our cars for months on end.

I will start it off by saying:

1.) I miss the boost ! ! !

It's FWD. I drive it in the snow. It's a beast in the snow in fact.

Been getting the full 23 psi of boost this winter myself haha.

This is the first winter my Balt has had to sit. I miss it sooooooo much! Especially when I have to sit and stare at this stuff everyday.

I pay my insurance only 2 times a yr. so when I store my car. I take off collision and get a refund back. So that's another excuse not to drive it till spring when i put collision back on

No snow this winter in my area
And anyway it's just a Cobalt and with snow tires there is no reason not to drive it during the winter.

Haha indeed. During one snowstorm I was passing AWD SUVs on the highway... lol.

Love snow driving, just don't like the salt.

Drive mine everyday as well, never gotten stuck in the winter so as long as it's driveable in the winter it's not going in storage

Once I get winter tires ill likely drive mine year round. A little worried though cause they don't have block heaters.
