More like the $20k car was a fad, not just the color. My Camaro will be blue, as long as it's not a baby blue like Arrival.

After all these accidents, tickets, and points, and I still own the car. If that don't show I am keeping this forever...

I count Alicia's as stock. Intake/Exhaust is for sound.

Dunno why everyone says that. RWD drive isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Especially with newer cars. Snow tires and common sense, and you are fine.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm not interested in 'personalizing' my car. It's a car. A to B transportation, that's it... it's not a show car, or a race car, or something to impress people with. It is what it is...

As for RWD inthe snow... the only experiences I have with it are my old Blazer and my S10's. The S10's had lockers. Without the transfer case engaged, the only direction they would go on shitty roads was sideways...

A car to me is an applaince for speed...as is a bike...and I love speed

My dakota was teh same way...and only 2wd...was fun tho...but if you closely controlled the throttle (and i had had proper tres..not UHP summer tires)...it would gone fine...My jeep now has a full time 4wd setting for on road use...just set it in that and go...

Full-time 4WD is nice to have, you don't even have to think about it. My trucks had BFG All-Terrains on them; they would go like hell in 4x4 but 2WD was another story. I probably could have babied it and been all right... but it was so much easier to just push the 4x4 button..

Not everyone has the money and/or desire for that though. Now that I got some money coming in, I'm doing more stuff to it. I'm most definitely never going to be in the running for the "fastest Cobalt around" title because that's not what I want. I bought the car to be a track beast. We'll see what I can do with the suspension and add the power when that's done. The extent to which the engine will be modded will be determined by the limits of how the car handles.

All that stuff aside, I'd be perfectly happy with the car if it stayed bone stock for as long as I had it. I loved my Cavalier and the ONLY mod I did to it was put in an upgraded factory stereo.

Egg-zackly! If I had to mod my car in order to be happy with it, I wouldn't have bought it in the first place!

Exactly. Do you really think GM would convert the next generation Impala and Grand Prix to RWD if it was that big of an issue? It's not as bad as the older cars used to be. I know plenty of people on the GTO forums that run their cars year round in the north and don't have problems.
