So for the price of a new msrp CSS, I could have that

Why so interested in dumping the SS? ...The RS or 5.0 will sit in the garage just as much.

******* better of. The CSS isnt worth 25k imo. You knew I wouldnt pay that much. I would of just got a new gen ms3 then. Dude the ms3 was I think 60 or more less a month for insurance than the CSS. Clean record. that **** adds up quick.

If you get a RS or 5.0 you'll sink money into that car just like the MS3 and SS...nothing is going to change.

lol idk I am having a, why did I buy this and not race as much, dropping tons of money on it phase. It will pass when winter hits and its stored. Then I'll be driving the gutless automatic escape.

I like the SS for the most part...fun as hell to drive hard....I just want more creature comforts.....im still pissed as hell about it not having HID's...

/\ You best sign your ass up for a a few track days next year.

Harness bar could be put to use if you picked up a seat and harness, cooling kit needs a few more parts to work and the HPtuner is the end of your engine (KaaBOOOM)

You want creature comforts and you have power options at least...I have a ******* LS...gutless, no power options, no cruise control, no nothing except auto tranny (and that's not an option I even wanted).

So sit there and enjoy your fun car you bastard...lol.

Drive the SS year round? ya no thanks. 1. the SS is what is bleeding money 2. The fwd sucks with the hills up here. you guys in the TC are spoiled with how flat it is :P
I agree with you, the ONLY reason why I am building an engine for the Redline is the fact that its paid off... no more car payment I may as well keep it for a few more years
also its probably the WORST car I have ever driven in the winter, that is why i started storing it...

this year I have one of these to drive :-p gutless and slow, but at least it is AWD, with snow tires

This is true.

And look where that got me...in the poor house which is going to be taken away from me...at least now I have fun without anyone telling me what I can and can't spend my money on (what little money I have).

Speaking of which...I just ordered 2 new bowling *****...decided to try out Track even though I'm a Hammer fanboy. I got the 300c and 607a special edition. I'm hoping these 2 will give me the results I'm looking for (dropped back down to 15lbs and decided on some ***** that play longer with more backend, just different oil conditions) so I'm set for tournaments now...5 ***** in rotation. I want to get rid of my 2 current ***** and replace them with 15lbs in the same drilling. so I actually have 5 ***** in rotation.

I wouldn't change anything I've done though. I'm content with learning from my mistakes.

I have high hopes and big dreams for myself in the future...hell I'm still only 27...I have time to make things better for myself, I'm just too impatient. I'm done with my second job soon....I joined Snap Fitness tonight. It will be a week before I can go there though. I will be in school for accounting come January. I'm still alone technically, but that is something I will deal with. My life is looking better already though.

no way... On winter tires this car is crazy fun. I enjoy driving it in the snow!!!


An STi or Evo as a daily driver would be fun though... we'll see what the future brings

I know I enjoy my Cobalt in the winter with winter tires...this will be the first season without them At least I'll have brand new all season tires on that aren't too bad in snow. And maybe I'll get a set of winter wheels before snow flies.

Jeff - When I had the ms3 on snow tires, it was insane fun in the snow. BUT with its lower ground clearance and fwd, steep hills and deep snow are a no no. If you are going up a hill you CANNOT stop. You will get stuck and some tard muncher will hit you. I got the ms3 stuck once, only once. In a parking lot at BGR I pulled in and plowed some snow then got hung up on some very deep snow...after 20-30 min of the snow plow guys watching me, some hand digging and the engine melting snow I got out. I'm done doing fwd in the winter, unless its a car made for that. awd is @#$@$#$ amazing and you know that, you had the bravada ss

The only subie engine I think its bullet proof is that 2.2. Man I tried to find a old legacy 2.2 manual before the escape...almost impossible unless you pay a bunch.

mike - yes you have youth still I was about to hit the gym...then jacked my back camping this past weekend and monday got a cold...wtf...ugh. Hopefully its better by friday, jeff and his wife are coming up
