Creaks, rattles, detteriorating ride quality, CEL lights, a vibration that rattles my shifter out of gear above 95 mph (lol yea yea, screw you) and general maintenance on a 165k mile car is exhausting. Either way I have to drive this POS every day, rain, snow sleet or shine and it sucks donkey nuts. Anyway, last night was dinner night at the rents house and my fiance met me there, which means after dinner, I take the long way home, rag on the car and hope it breaks lol. I'm about a mile from my house when I come up to a redlight. the car in front of me is a Cobalt SS, with what looks like a straightpipe tip comming out the back and big STAGE 2 emblem on the back. After trying to find breaks in traffic we finaaly make a U-turn onto the desolate :angel4: opposite side of the highway. We cant do a dig so I'm forced to humor his ricer ways and do a roll. First raceMe in 2nd gear about 3200 RPM's, Him unknownMy car goes completely sideways, but I pedal and hook, he spins too and is at the back of my door supercharger is Fing loud, but I pull spin 3rd and shut it down at the the top of 4th @ maybe 100 with me about 3-4 cars ahead. Second raceHe says he spun too much and asks me to please do a 55mph roll. I say ok I dont give a fak.55mph I'm about 3k rpm in 3rd, him unknown. I hit it, car kicks the tail out slightly, I keep my foot on the pedal and car regains traction in an instant. I roll up my windows this time becasue his "charger" hurts my ears. I bring it to the top of fourth (powershifting @ 5500k rpms) and same result. I really thought that the stage 2(whatever that means lol) cobalts had a bit of balls but I guess not. It brought a smile to my face because I really hate my car and I thought that maybe the car was on its last leg but she held her own. I thought it was funny becasue after we had raced, he asks "Man! what do you have done to that thing?!" I literally laughed and said 03 GT engine and 4.10 gears which is utterly true, he said "thats BS!" rolled up his window and raced off. So for a measly, 03 motor with over 120k miles, a whining 4.10 rear (w/out DR's and 35 degrees outside) and a catted x-pipe, I guess I did rather well.</blockquote>
