Well then my springs R up for grabs to anyone...$150.00

I took the rears off the car today...will be taking the fronts off later this week. There a little rusty but nothing some light sanding and spray paint couldn't fix.

Not worth upgrade unless you go with the LNF struts and shocks as well...

Over all handling is better (instantly noticeable) and the ride feels a lot better too. Dont forget your pedders size rack spacers.

Wish I could afford to have a second car. Now that Nicole is getting an apartment and we're letting the house go and claiming bankruptcy, I'll be staying in the house until they tell me to get out...should be able to save up a good chunk of money for an apartment that way. I'll also be adding an extra 50% on my monthly car payment for as long as possible (so instead of $265, I'll be paying $400 a month for a while). Hopefully that will get the car paid off by next summer at the very latest.

I think I'll probably quit the second job at the end of summer (not sure about it yet), but it's just getting to be so much...like this week I'm working my normal 40-42 at Culligan and I work another 25.5 at Domino's. Of course I worked 5 tonight, then the rest (20.5 hours) is split between Friday, Saturday, and Sunday...YAY! NO weekend at all. 12-8 Sat. and 12:30 to 7 Sun. Money is good, but I go through so much freaking gas now that it doesn't seem to be worth it. Even for the extra $300 or so I get every month from paychecks alone and the $600+ I get from tips...I still have to spend about $50 a week on gas (more than a tank a week with all the mileage I'm putting on).

2nd cars are a huge money pit 2 oil changes, 2 this 2 that...ugh

Mike - sounds like you are making extra money delivering. you may not like it but if it keeps you ahead on bills, keep it. you are young still, work your ass off now so you can live better later. Thats my theory, and why I have zero social life.

But you're only driving one at a time, so the miles don't add up quick. It's just insurance and tags that are really doubled up.

Wrong, the 05's did NOT have LSD, they didnt put LSD in the IRL till 06, when they came out with the "Compition" Package. It came with the full G85 package, giving it the suspension, LSD and the Ladder-boost tach on the steering collum.

uhhh the ONLY saves I see is that my escape takes 87 octane and my ss is 91+. otherwise the escape gets slightly worse mileage BUT I drive the ss like a ass hat so the escape probably gets better mileage. The ss is a ***** of a money pit alone! the tc/ss costs more than my ms3 and escape combined. So I have 2 sets of tires for the escape, will have 2 sets for the ss. SS oil change costs more. insurance, tabs, gas, maintenance, wear and tear is on 2 vehicles now.... its a money pit :P

but you are rich and just make the kids help pay for tires through allowance. cuz they get driven around they should pay, right?

Gas, tires, maintenance, wear and tear is all mileage based. It's a bigger upfront investment but over time you end up spending the same. In a perfect world, you'd get twice the life out of each car so instead keeping one car for 5 years each you keep both for 10 years.

first the cobalt has a horrid resale value. who in their mind wants to have 2 cars for 10 years that are DD's? ugh I've never even owned a car for more than 3 yet. cars get boring and if they arent made to be specific, ie. track car. people usually dont want to keep them around....thats not everyone of course.
