I was still half comatose when you called me this morning... I heard my phone ringing and answered it, but I had just got into bed, lol...
in talking to my brother, huntsville is about as expensive as Nashville as far as living, one place he mentioned and I didn't think of it at the time(because I was half asleep), is Athens... its right off I-65 and is a direct shot to Nashville... little over an hour away... much cheaper to live in Athens than Huntsville, that much is for sure
plus you and HHRSSouth would be neighbors... i'm not too far from Athens myself(less than an hour)

Yep Athens is very nice & reasonable place to live in. It only takes 15 minutes to get to Huntsville (down hwy 72 from Athens) or Decatur (down hwy 31 from Athens) and 10 minutes to Madison. Your also right off I-65, 1 1/2 hrs from Nashville and Birminham both, 3 hrs from Memphis and Atlanta.
I've worked in Huntsville and Decatur both (before I started college full time) and my wife works in Decatur, Athens is the only place we've lived and by far the best place to live in the immediate area cost wise and having everything available to you.

Athens and Decatur will be your best bet, or even where I live(the Shoals)... my brother drives to Athens every day from here, he used to drive to Huntsville everyday, several people do.... but, i'd look to Athens and Decatur 1st, its one thing to be born and raised here, not want to leave and drive to Huntsville and its another to move here knowing you'd have to travel, makes more sense to just move closer to Huntsville...

Decatur cost more to live in then Athens, unless you want to live in the poor areas of Decatur. You will also have to deal with crossing a bridge in winter time if you live in Decatur either the bridge via I-65 or bridge via Hwy 31 to I-565.

if anyone is wanting to get the 3-Bar sensors on their turbo Cobalt, plans on custom tuning, and doesn't want to give GM around $700 for some sensors:
http://www.performanceautowerks.com/...oducts_id=1712
$76 for the same sensors...
Hptuners or Vince @ Trifecta can tune for those

raises the Kpa so you don't see overboost at higher boost pressure, now you don't absolutely have to have them with the trifecta tune as he can tune around the 2 bar map sensor but it will make a much better/smoother tune with the 3 bar sensors.
I would buy a tune from you, but depends how quick your gonna be a dealer, my factory turbo is being pulled off and sent to BTF racing 2nd week of June for the Turbo wheel upgrade and I'll need a retune.

Oh sure post in the Georgia forum first that you recieved your Trifecta stuff
How many cables did you get?
Any how I'll hit you up once I decide what I'm doing. I keep jumping around from the turbo wheel upgrade to the Dejon FP 68HTA turbo upgrade to maybe the ZZP turbo upgrade. Mild to wild , cheaper to expensive.

if you move to Huntsville, stay away from the HSVracing forums, lots of douches
no matter who you meet, if they seem to be a cool person, they're going to think the ******* on HSVs are douches if they know anything about them
I used to think so, I met Paul and he thought so, every person my brother works with(lot of them live in Huntsville) think so...
basically here are the basic rules:
1.) no you didn't
2.) you still don't drive a $85,000 car
3.) wait until Gomer tunes it
don't know what 3 refers to, neither did I the 1st 100 times I heard that uttered
