Looks like tonight I won't be a Cobalt owner anymore. Most likely trading it on a Colorado tonight. Really like this car, but some things have come up in my life where I need a truck!

Seems like an OK basic truck.. I'm getting a stripped down Work version.

Yah, I go through cars a lot. I guess if anyone wants a barely used and not beat on stock 09 TC, talk to Shottenkirk Chevrolet... unless something falls through.

That's what my truck is just your basic stripped down silverado I bought back in '02. I should trade it in but not having a payment is very nice......

Well, couldnt get the numbers where I liked them... mostly because I was going to have to give up the 0% financing I have on the Cobalt.

So time to go shopping around for a Ranger/S10 or something cash No payments are nice for sure, just figured I'd try to kill 2 birds with 1 stone without pulling money from savings.

Hah, well my car fell victim to the typical 2nd/3rd gear going out.. I have another transmission but I am not sure what condition it is in. I am going to take it to a shop and see if they can take both of my transmissions and make one work.

Sometime...

Hey ya'll Im not really from Iowa, but only about 45 minutes from the border into Illinois. Just thought i would stop in and see whats up, since you all are my neighbors.

Also, wanted to see if there was anyone with an LNF that wanted tuned. If so, hit me up with a PM, and we can work out a price and what not.
