I've noticed that the newer Grand Ams (02-05) don't seem to take abuse well....

Ah, Caprices usually don't like snow..... My neighbor down the street has a 78....it was out of the garage for a few hours a few months ago, and it snowed on it. Car decided not to turn over and got pushed back into the garage. Once there, after the snow was cleaned off-she turned right over....

Yeah, I'm wondering if maybe it doesn't like the new owner or something.... I've detailed the outside (too cold to finish the inside) Next oil change I switch the Cobalt to a Wix air/oil filter and Mobil 1... and a new Fuel filter.... And some other stuff....

Yep. It's going into the dealership next week for the trans issue. I'll have them take a good look at it while it's there... They do a pretty good job....

No rental car special here...bought it from a family member...to help out my family... The Cobalt has had it a little rough (and driven a little hard), but not bad enough for the issues... Heck. about 65-70% of those miles are highway..

Hopefully the Balt gets a good update.....

I wish I could find deals like that.....

Me either.

Sensor. Yep, that what it should be..... My buddies 00' had the same problem when the ABS sensor kicked the bucket....

They should do this in different cities too....get people hooked, they may start demanding E85.....

Agreed. They should sell pretty well....

E-MOE?

*considers setting car on fire*

It is a 2006 LS Coupe w/ 32k on the clock (silver) I got it as a replacement for the wagon.....airbags for me (makes wife happy) and a safer car for the little guy when I drive him around town... It does need a little work (mostly a good cleaning-which I am working on )...but it has been a good car for the most part. It is going back to it's home dealership (Bill Wink Chevrolet) next week to get looked at...my concern at this point is the trans, as my thinking is the rest of the stuff is probably most related to the weather (and potholes)... I'll be changing the fuel filter soon too.... Pioneer? Hmmm....that doesn't sound too bad...

Normally, I don't do this to my cars.... But this one really pissed me off..... The Cobalt has done the good job pissing me off left and right the last few weeks with all kind of little issues.... - Trans deccided to take its sweet time getting up to speed on I-96...which nearly got me rear ended..twice.... -power locks didn't work..which wouldn't be a big deal if the alarm wouldn't go off-and not turn off. -what radio? I shouldn't pick on her too bad....cars have hit her, as well as people..... That, and this has been some wild weather around here.... Anyways, I went to warm up the Balt outside before I headed off to work, and would not turn over....Tried it a few times..no go. Checked battery-fine. Checked connections-fine. Tried again-still would not start. I was like- Don't know why-but I got real pissed and kicked the hell out of the front driver's tire.... After feeling nice and calm, I decided to try one more time. Turns right over. Fine the rest of the day (and now). This wouldn't have been so funny to me if this hadn't happened to me about 10 years ago....in my old Cavalier coupe.... It's like my old car came back to haunt me.....strange, no?

Ask me what cars I haven't driven..... :AH-HA_wink: There is not really much on a dealership lot right now that I have not driven..... The Astra is next.

Yeah, right.
