haha Yeah, no $h!. Actually, I just found a '87 Jimmy that sounds like it's in good condition. The guy says it has lots of rust, but I emailed to see if it's still for sale and if I can get any pics... http://detroit.craigslist.org/car/390289231.html

$1500?! My search is over!

Besides, it's pretty bad when you have to count, right? :AH-HA_wink:

Alright, I was thinking the same. I rather have a 4x4 with 350 for towing and stuff. It looks better when someone wants to buy it off of me... :AH-HA_wink:

PCS after a wax job:

hahah.A oneeeee. A twoooooo. *crunch* A threeee! Sounds painful, blu!

Hmm, my parents found a '90 Sierra this morning for $1100 OBO. My dad said it's in good condition; the guy replaced all the brakes and lines himself and just bought a bigger truck so he wants to get rid of this. My dad says it needs new "cab corners" (not quite sure what that is) and a new radio. The only problem I see is that it's a V6. How difficult would it be to swap in a 350?

Irrelevent... Well tonight I went cruising, then ventured into some really $h!ty parts of Detroit around 1:00 AM, saw tons of cops, then toured downtown and by Comerica Park and Ford Field, then ventured my way home around a half hour ago with a couple friends. Other than that, I'm probably just playing around with the Cobalt for a good chunk of my time off this weekend...

Teehee, there's a good chance I've already sat in that exact car! haha Good review, just another to go along with the portfolio. Everybody's going to love this car, except the engineers who are working on it haha.

Well I told my dad what I hope to do, and as always, he didn't really say anything haha. However, later on I was telling him that if I didn't have a co-op, I'd probably do this for three months while not in school. To that he replied, "I'd love to do that as a side job, there's some good money to be made, but I just don't have that kind of time." Oh, and he got excited about the one link I posted up there^^^ (2 trucks, 3 350s, $500) and when I called the guy already sold the trucks (though he still has the engines if anybody's interested...) All in all, this just might happen! *crosses fingers*

Oh, no no no. That's beyond the amount of work I want to do. It'll need new door panels because of major rusting, new radiator, new battery, and a major interior overhaul...

Soo far: DEFINITELY: -K Blazer -Silverado/Sierra -Jeep Cherokee/GC MAYBE: -Bronco DON'T TOUCH: -S10 Are all early Blazers S10s? I see a lot of listings that say S10 Blazer. Should I stay away from Blazers then?

Yeah, but one day you'll either be really happy or really pissed when it turns itself into a campfire to "warm you up!"

I'd love an older late 80s, early 90s GMC/Chevy SUV like a K-Blazer or something... Example of good deals on craigslist: '90 Jeep Cherokee in great condition w/ a few small fixes needed: $600 '91 Blazer, could probably talk him down a hundred: $700 '90 S-10 Blazer, de-rice and talk down a bit: $900 '88 Silverado 1500 + '91 Sierra 2500 + three 350s: $500

Well today I got to thinking... I'm going to buy some steelies and winter/all season tires for the Cobalt come winter time. I'll guess that'll easily be $800-1200, right? Hmmm... This is the new thought: What if I were to store the Cobalt during the coldest months of Michigan? What if, instead of buying steelies and all that, I keep the Cobalt in the garage and buy myself a cheap fixer upper? Beyond that, what if I find a good running vehicle (domestic SUV or truck preferably) for under $1000 (I'm thinking closer to $500-800), fix it, and re-sell it when I'm done for possibly more than what I bought it for? How will I do that? Read on... I know how to restore paint to good condition. I know how to do body work. I know how to restore painted wheels. I know of a good/cheap junk yard nearby. I know how to do almost anything mechanical on the vehicles (minus transmissions and rear-end work). I have the ability to clean up and fix anything wrong on the vehicle. I have many sources to ask for help if I had a question or needed help. This would solve my need for the Cobalt. I wouldn't risk hurting the car and I wouldn't put it through a(nother) $h!ty Michigan winter. Meanwhile, I would be able to fix up the other vehicle I had bought with my dad (I haven't told him my idea yet, but he's always happy to work on a car with me) at night and on the weekend.What do you guys think? Stupid idea or go for it? Any suggestions? Anything to look out for? I'm going to start checking Craig's List when winter comes closer, possibly in the next month or two while I'm at school in Flint because I know a lot of guys in Flint would be willing to help me work on a vehicle while at school to.

Any idea what the numbers are on the RWD vs. AWD Charger R/T? I know it's a totally different car, but would be interesting to note.

SOP = Start of ProductionSORP = Start of Regular Production (i.e. when all the bugs in the SOP are smoothed out and running on the line as it should be) Thanks for the compliments on the chop, guys. Just think guys, if we have a GTP and GXP to come, we already have a 362 HP, 391 lb/ft 6.0L V8 in the GT. Should be very exciting to see the power they go to from there (LS3 is a good possibility with numbers in the 430s). And if they add AWD, that would make me really excited. Side note: if they have AWD on the GP and CTS and only RWD on the Camaro with the same engine offered, would the Camaro be easily transferred into AWD since it's on the same platform?

Dude, wasn't that nuts? I left Lansing around 4:30 and took I-96 to I-696 out to Clinton Township and was in the storm for about 2 hrs straight.. insane!

Rice! haha Just kidding. Car looks magnificent, I love black C5s. Welcome to the block!

I was gonna stop to say hi, but I was trying to get to your mom's house as fast as possible for her special delivery...

I hate both extremes. Give me 75 in the day (zero/low humidity) and 60s at night. I love it being cold at night and nice in the day because nighttime just feels right for jeans/jogging pants and a hoodie/button up/something.

Fly, you know if we were on the old forums I'd still have more posts than you... and 98 and Northie would too! haha I think all three of us went post-12000. Either way, congrats, postwhore! (Speaking of, this is post 7500. Strange.)

What... the f@#k.. are they doing to the Cobalt? Kill the SS/SC and give it this color? Ahhhhh!

Very sexy. 'Nuff said.
