I am so envious. I was there about a month ago(Halloween weekend) Unfortunately it rained the whole time but it was still worth it. I will throw some pics up when I am at home.

I love how I made a thread months ago and noone was interested... You Cobalt guys are so odd.

Oh and I wouldnt drive it until spring, leaves are almost on par with the snow there. The road is covered with leaves and they are really slick, I almost met the mountain twice because of them.

it runs between nc and tenn. starts in robbinsville, nc and ends before maryville, tn 318 curves in 11 miles

we get all kinds of car clubs in thru out the year, doesn't snow a bunch get a couple 4 inchers maybe twice a winter and thats it. with elninio controling the weather ya never know. dragon used to be alot funner before tennessee state troopers started patroling it. so a little advice to anyone who decides to come out and ride it. take it easy across the first time and looke for troopers, don't see nun go have some fun.

Are 235/40-R18 good for 06 ss/sc stock wheels, stock suspension? What about rubbing when I make sharp turns?

Also misfiring, took my plugs out, checked teh gap, used brake parts cleaner on them, reinstalled. when tightening down the coils i overtightened a bolt and snapped it off in the valve cover, gotta get that taken care of too. **** cobalts.

did install my yellow HID bulbs for my new headlights however. still need to be aimed and aftermarket headlights suck to aim b/c you have to remove teh whoel light 50x

^--Im strongly considering trading up for this car for Xmas. I may need some help taking my ls back to stock (removing/replacing exhaust with stock exhaust)....I will make more news about it as time goes by. I will be willing to pay 60+$ and free drinks -- for about 1.5 hours of work. Sounds fun to you and live in NC/VA w/ a garage? PM me! I dunno if I should put this in the classified section -- I live in NC though.
