I see what your saying but he's better off parting out the car and selling. Mods don't add value to the car like that otherwise I should sell my car for $25K or you yours for whatever crazy amount you have stuck in yours. Just saying, when I started dumping money into my car like I have I realized I either was keeping it til it went in the ground or taking a big loss.

Sooooooo I'm on the I94 and I go from 3rd gear to 4th gear WOT shift, and all of a sudden the car starts bogging and my rpm gauge takes a **** on me. Then 5th gear takes a **** and stops working, the boost gauge moved but nothing else did and it didn't rev, then 4th gear, then 3rd bogs, so i pull over and cut the car. It doesn't start for about 4 times and i pop the hood and check around, nothings leaking or loose so i go to cut it on and it starts up and runs fine, Tach works again and everything, wtf happened to me?

ALSO Spotted a Red SS that passed me up in rush hour traffic right by the 290 entrance and spotted a silver turbo SS on Lagrange around 125th st, anyone on here?

Thats weird man. My LSJ used to do some pretty funky crap, i ended up finding a wire that was exposed and kept shorting everything out. Go under the car and look for some bad wires.

Ahhhhh good trip back from Green Bay. Not happy to be back, not gonna lie. Cobalt ran AMAZINGLY. Got just over 32mpg on the way back, with an avg speed of 75 mph. No hiccups at all, and I wasn't taking it lightly on the off ramps. Guess I could have done a bit better on the mpg's if I took it easier, but what is life without some fun?

Ooo, thanks Rally. Just filled mine out. I think we should all have 2 name tags as well. One with our real name and another with our ss.net names. Faces + name tags = win.
