I did not mind the recalls so much but the fact they would not move the price. I did not want to buy a car and not "have it" for whatever amount of time to have the recalls done. The way they acted just pushed my mind even further away from wanting to deal with them. No biggy though.

And thanks, its a cool car. I like a lot of the stuff and the power that v6 puts out. Almost reminds me of my 07 SS. 0-60 is in the low 6 range too so not too shabby. Its nice having a car that can blow by stuff if needed haha. Getting used to the 9 speed tranny, having flappy paddles is neat. I appreciate the thought too man, if you can get me a couple of pics or something maybe I can post it on the other balt forums, might get a bite.

I just bought some wheels for the coby and the only thing sucks is the way the wheels will not clear the damn calipers

That sucks man, nothing like spending money for nothing. That is how I felt when fixing the 150, seemed like I was just doing it for something else to go wrong. I like the 200 over the 300. I did not know much about them till the other day, I almost backed out when the dealer said they were basically a whole new car compared to the 11-14 200s or whatever. Just because it being a new car and teething problems but so far so good, than again it only has 110 miles on it or so. But I got a 7 year warranty and a bunch of other things that sweetened the pot. 2 year free services, the warranty and a plan that gives me free details every 6 months and if I get a dent or scratches, wreck a wheel or anything its taken care of.

There's nothing better than a new car and great package. That's what my son has on his gti. The wheels are avante garde bbs sims but got to figure it out with spacers I guess. I'm not knocking anyone's car but I love nice ones and that one is sure nice.i see them a day long driving to the jobs and they always make me turn my head. The vw cc is another nice car too. The pf01 wheels are just not doing anything for me and change is good these days!

Ronspeed, if you are just giving the exhaust away I can take it off your hands if I could. I am like 4hrs away but for a reasonably new exhaust it sounds pretty worth it to me. Let me know and I will shoot down there to charlotte area on the weekend.

I'm almost willing to go get it myself and just drive it a bit to someone who wants it haha. I think I am searching for an excuse to drive the new car lmao. I am making a trip to Raleigh next week though, all to close a credit union account because they won't let me via phone call. Just personal letter or in person..... stupid!

Thanks for the offer ronspeed. I just don't want to jump in front of 06cobalt in case he actually wants it. Don't want anyone at me. Lol if 06cobalt gives me the greenflag I'll be down there Saturday. If its so new why are you giving it away?? Isn't that like a $600 exhaust?

Nah just a turbo xs with resonater that bolts onto the down pipe 175 but I bought the exhaust with muffler instead. The money doesn't matter but the space in my shop is much more needed.

Might be a stupid question.. Idk but is the turbo xs for a lsj? I have a lnf. Or does it make a difference? If its just a flange swap from a 3 bolt to a 2 bolt I can manage that. Just thought I'd ask.

Looks like everything is bent the same and the length is the same, etc. Only difference is the flange goes from a 3 bolt (lnf) to a 2 bolt (lsj). I can manage that. Time to break out the helmet and pop some welds on it. I'll keep the 2 bolt flange just in case..
