Well, I bought my Black 09 SS Sedan on March 12th. I LOVE This car. I'm 43yrs old and it's satisfying that mid-life crysis need that I didn't realize I had.

I plan on getting the 'upgrade' kit if it ever becomes anything other than the phantom kit it currently is.

I got the good warranty so any further upgrades will have to wait.

My 17yr old son and I are planning a trip in June driving across the US taking as much of route 66 as possible. Can't wait to do the long ride in my new Cobalt!

Cheers,

Buzz

My car's nothing special. Black 09 SS that's completely stock. It'll probably remain so until my waranty is up. I do LOVE the work some of you guys have done with these little gems.

Surprisingly fast cars. I'm glad I finally got one.

Cheers.

Sounds cool! However, I already have what my wife calls a "Man-Date" today. Me and 2 friends have the day off so we're going to go run Yarnell Hill, then head to Prescott Az to see some guy who'd got a vintage Ferrari in MINT condition. I'm taking a decent camera so expect pics to follow.

Since Thursday is essentially a day for ME...I might be hard pressed to bail out on Saturday as well.
