Well I was planning on getting an STI but insurance made that practically impossible. ($13k a year or $6500 per 6 months 
)
Anyway I started looking at other vehicles that would be nearly as high as the STI and I ended up with a 2007 SS Supercharged Cobalt.
I'm still surprised how fast this car is. I wasn't expecting much out of it but it definately packs a punch.
Alright so Here is the car that I was driving a little more then a week ago. Good first car but I had my doubts at times if it
would make it to where I needed to go with 100k+ miles on it.
And here is the car I drove home today last week. (Pics are from the following day) One
thing I did find odd though, was there was no temperature guage. But I found out later that there is a read out in the dash that tells you the coolant temp so I just go off that. I don't get on the throttle till its reaches average temp which is about 180F.
I'm getting the windows tinted this weekend. Next mods include HID's for the headlights and fog lights. Lowering springs are next after that then the GM Stage 2 kit which keeps the warranty and adds about 45hp.

Nice car, just please watch out for the gas prices man. Even though its pretty ok price just please help save for other people.

Save gas for other people? Heh, anyways sick car man, and I agree it needs subs. I drive a 1990 honda with 300 000KM on it, not the best ride but it's alright. And 169$ a month for insurance isnt that bad, I am 21 and I pay freaking 239$ a month. Thank god I live at home still or I wouldnt be able to afford my car.

I don't know if you guys know or not but the SS Supercharged version (my car) comes with a trunk mounted sub which is made by Pioneer. The sub was yet another thing that surprised me a lot. I don't have more plans for the car since I plan on selling it sometime during summer and get the 07 STI. I figured things out with the insurance where I can get full coverage with an STI but only pay >200 a month.

on the other hand, if you just listen to stuff like the Beatles or Eagles "greatest hits" then you need to drop that car ASAP and get back to driving that PT cruiser....
