Ya nothing personal man but I don't see that happening. Also if by third pedal you mean the clutch pedal, then I have never heard of anyone being like "Ooo nice pedal man, it looks awsome what is it?" Haha
Last week actually me and this girl went out and when we came back to the dorm her friend was outside in the parking lot and when me and the girl got out of my car her friend said "nice car" but I wasnt sure if she was being sarcastic so I just walked by her hahah.

I was kind of just joking with Kevin, but at the same time that pretty surprising that you get asked about you car all the time. I mean, just speaking for myself of course, my car is not at all flashy by any means, but it's clean, dropped, has a big ol hunkin intercooler hanging in the front bumper and looks solid, yet compliments are very few and far between due to the simple fact of it being a cobalt. Maybe I just hang around a different crowd than you.. 
idk who you hang out with but I have literally never met a guy who didn't know what a clutch pedal was

You all drive Cobalts. No one looks twice at them, even myself if I'm honest. The Ion coupe though seems a rare site around here (I've only ever seen 3 others around, all automatics). And I usually get comments when out picking up groceries and people catch me using the suicide doors (My trunk floor is destroyed. Trying to make a new one from much thicker plywood).

now you have a base ion its on the same level as a base cobalt nothing special nothing rare. so before you say no one looks twice at a cobalt thats not all true. many more people look twice at a SS cobalt than will ever look twice at a bace ion even with the fancy doors.
I mean no disrespect by this. but your not in a huge position to bash on SS cars. when they only time you get compliments is when your getting grocery's using the car for its purpose.
now if you had a ion redline you are more rare and have a cool car i respect.

your car is clean..but i really dont find it more special than a SS s/c or t/c cobalt. they are a SS badged car and that will always no matter how little respect these cars get be something that derives from the history of Chevrolet.

I never said my car was special, but the doors get a lot of attention and comments like "I didn't know they made those". And many people who notice the doors don't know manual transmission cars exist which leads to their question about the pedal while I've got the doors open and I'm loading in groceries.

Congrads man! What part of Hamden if you don't mind me askin?
Actually yes but the second bedroom is going to be a guest bedroom for when our friends come up on the weekend. And according to the lease only two occupants are allowed to live here unless we notify them. Probably will raise the rent if we start renting out the extra room

Anyone ever go to a bar hopping/pub crawl? I'm thinking about going to one for Halloween but never done something like that before.
