Sold my car!! :(

Hey guys, finally took a ride in my friends cobalt ss...and realized rotary isnt the way for me to go fast, while reliable.

Picking up a 2008 Cobalt Sport. I cant wait for it to get to the dealer!

I just wish the sedan came with the turbo

Ah well, I'll make it fast.

Heres a picture of what I am picking up- same color and stuff.



It was that, or put an LS2 into the car, but I dont like american v8s...gas guzzling POSes lol u know?

If you want a Chevy, 4 doors, front wheel drive, quick, and a turbo, why not buy a used SRT-4 for about the same price as what a FD would sell for? Of course, new car warrantee is nice...

So you sold your FD because you wanted something to be fast yet you got a non turbo 4 door cobalt instead?

Perfect exchange lol

Congrats i guess.

Guys...if he had his heart set on getting rid of one of the most acclaimed high performance sports cars in the world and trading for a generic 'seen on every corner' sedate sedan...more power to him.
Having a fast, unique car that people drool over is totally overrated.

Personally, I am still on the lookout for that perfect AMC Pacer.....

I get 29.3mpg on the freeway with my supercharged LS1.

Real gas guzzler.

Congrats on going from a badass japanese sports car, to a POS economy car. We all know not to take any of your opinions seriously now.

Please tell us about the condition/mileage of your car, and what you sold it for.
