I just happened to see the Red Cobalt with carbon fibre trunk today at the Best Buy just west of Scott AFB, and it had the css.net stickers on it.

I'm surprised I haven't seen an SS's at the track the two times I went. Well... there was one there last night and it was for sale, but it was a 2.4 auto, so that doesn't really count.

Oh yeah... I have a dropped Maroon Altima here at Scott AFB. What's up fellas.

Several months ago I was westbound 64 near Greenmount Rd. and I see someone coming up on me pretty fast-he pulls along side, I look over and it's a !!! black Cobalt SS-gave him the . Don't know if it was a SC or TC or if he wanted to play; we both exited at 157 (I needed gas and thought he might want to compare notes or w/e) however he took off like his hair was on fire. Oh well.



POPS ftw.

Edit: (it was actually 159-Fairview Heights where we exited)
I grew up in Granite , i live near Edwardsville....there must be a few guys that are in the metro area....

Some people have told me about a blue SS running around, I actually might have seen it a few times, but not good enough... always driving away or something.

I've seen your car around a few times. You need to tell your guys to do my alignment.

if you're tight on cash flow and want a tune, u can borrow my trifecta tuning cable. it's cheaper to get tuned if you don't have to rent one of trifectas tuners. it's just sitting around my garage

Hey Ryan long time no see, I wondered if you had gotten rid of your car!

Back on topic. The black Stage 1 car out at Scott AFB, if it has Wyoming plates (I believe that's what state it is) his name is James...really nice guy.

I'm trying to get the St. Louis group meetings going again since we haven't had one at all this year. I'm looking at getting together June 13th, still deciding on a location to get as many people involved as we can. Typically they have been in South County at Hooters but Maryland Heights Hooters has been mentioned for a possibility. Obviously with most of you being on the IL side SoCo would be nicer. Let me know what you all think.

If you guys aren't signed up at http://gatewayecotec.com/forums/inde...f354362b05f26a you should check it out.
