They do hire summer students, but they are all children of employees there. And YES I am older then you chino....but you are still old enough not to be my kid. LOL

As for working with me....unfortunately it is not that simple. You would get hired and placed in the refinery where people are needed.

+38. Perfect for a Cobalt. They will be nice and flush with the fenders.

DO NOT GET 20's! they look WAY to big on a Cobalt! You are also going to bend a lip at some point GUARANTEED! 19's look perfect on a Cobalt IMO. 20's will be heavier and make you car slower also. Your brakes will wear out quicker with 20's and the rotors may warp from excessive heat due to having to stop more weight from spinning.
