  1. oh... The driver never has to worry about the back seat. so i say go for the cobalt. 30 mpg is welcome with gas prices. plus there a little fun to drive
  2. If you get a GP you have to get the GXP or its not worth it. I think i would take that 1k and use it towards a couple options on a cobalt. Then again test drive them all because personal opinion goes a lot further than what we say.
  3. hmm... I was looking at a dark blue cobalt coupe 2.2 5 speed its very tempting. im going to look at the Astra tomorrow and maybe test one on Monday. Its not like i need a car though. the fleet is now 02 sierra 98 Lesabre 03 vibe 95 camaro tomorrow i will be putting brakes on the Buick and fixing the camaro then go lot browsing. I guess we will see. but one thing is for sure if i buy a new car its not going to have one option checked.
  4. $h! (like this thread that never ends)
  5. what is the sticker on the Astra?
  6. disappointing. Why does the Colorado have to be so crappy though and have sub par fuel economy.
  7. true Also Ask E.U. about there gas prices. Also account for inflation. We have been lucky for a long time don't think politics will change this at all. Falsifying quantity and demand to bring in billion dollar profits has more to deal with oil prices than politics. We all want gas to be $1.50 a gallon but it wont happen ever again like the 60's its long gone. deal with it. drive less or save more money.
  8. yep 13 and Gratiot. It is a horrible feeling. I cant believe you had 2 stolen traumadog. 68 you made a good point. But a beater to me doesn't matter what wheels drives it. as long as it gets from point A to B, while being cheap on repairs is good. I beat the crap out of the caprice but it started every day and thats why i loved it. I bought it for 1500 i think. So for me it was a beater but i respected it more than any car i have ever owned, and should have gave it more. However I weighed some pros and cons and bought $2k worth of parts for project fix up old blue. 95 Camaro. tie rods, ball joints, brakes, and other $h! it needed badly. Although its about as anti camaro as you can get, 3.4 auto. Hopefully that will please you. However, I will probably buying a stripper new car and help GM this month. hmm... 08 Colorado for 11,100 or 08 Silverado for 11,700 or 08 Aveo for 7,550 or 08 Cobalt for 9,800. Which brings up do they make the 08 Silverado with a stick? Cause that would be badass a small v6 with a stick.
  9. well for those that don't know i have a gun on me all the time its just i didn't catch them in the act. I have gone on several trips to Detroit to look for it. It's just hard to look badass in a red Vibe. I want it back so much right now since it was in great working condition. I even had royal purple in it. Well right now im think of getting a 91 Saturn SL2 151k on it 4dr 5sp for 1100. for some reason the used car market is on crack i might end up buying a new car but i really dont want to cause a beater is there to take the abuse the new cars are there for weekends and trips.
  10. Definitely. At your worst times you know those that care and those are the people you should never forget.
  11. your still alive so it cant of been that bad. anyway happy belated b-day
  12. neil young and about to pop in a Heart cd
  13. DF-79 I don't want to offend you or try to be a father figure but, When i was in my teens to 20's i was the same way relied on drugs and such to make it through everyday. When i was on the Line at Cadillac welding rear ends the guy bolting on the doors was my dealer. i had a daily routine that lasted 2 years until i was laid off. And i didn't know what to do. Thats why i joined the military was to go over seas and die off. It's almost ironic though, I would risk everything rush in hoping to end it all but it never happened been severely wounded in pain begging for death but it never happened. I was for a while angry at everyone and everything. I know its different, but I was just a complete prick all the time I was arrested in bars frequently. Lost all the people that cared about me. What im trying to get at is I think i experienced a lot of the same things your going through except a medical condition which i honestly can't say i feel what your going through because i can't. I'm just saying that there is hope and there is something to live for. Spend time trying to find what brings you peace don't let knowing you can't get in the way even if you can't trying might make you feel better. And there is someone or something that is always worse off. Even if at times you cant see pass that because i know how it feels to think you are the worse off, it never helps. Its all mind games. If you personal well being is affected change don't let it, put your self first and everything else second. Make your self relaxed and care free because we all are gonna die but dieing happy is better than dieing arrogant. Hope some of this helps, if not i understand. Camino: the reason why you let someone change your ways is, for me at least, desperation. I felt like i had no where to go. I started considering suicide several times. I was giving advice but couldn't listen to my own. I guess my stubbornness let loose and i went with it because i had no where to turn. I thought it was the end.
  14. Happy Belated B-Day!
  15. I don't really understand where your going with this, however i will go with what i think you mean. I believe i did change my life about the end of last year beginning of this year. I guess staring death face to face really put me in my place. And well it showed me that i am not invincible. It made me realize whats important in life. I was discharged from Warren PD after going back for about 2 weeks. I talked to the chief and he understood and offered a package i "couldn't refuse." My other job I am part time i come in when needed and only do crazy custom stuff. I mostly try to go up Manistee, MI and to Alaska when i can to foresee my home being built. I realized that i was way to cocky and was not aware of what i really had. I have come to terms with myself and truly realize how grateful i am. I started to become more involved with my family, long lost friends, and charity. And i did allow someone to change my life. While were not married, we both like it that way, Kim has forced me to do stuff i never thought of before. most importantly she signed me up to go through some type of mental health thing and well im glad she did that. I found out alot of things about myself i overlooked or never cared about. It proved that I was scared of 2 things being poor and death. I never knew that before but i have made some changes for the good and i think im 100% better off because of her. But at the end of the day im still the same. a Mystic man with way to many skeletons in my closet and people that want me dead. But in the meantime someone is there for me, and it makes living that much easier. Like Neil Young's Old Man - You need someone to love you the whole day through. Then again everyone is different and we all wonder the same things at a point in our lives, Why do we live and what truly is a good life.
  16. well as a update. Nothing. Hasn't been found yet. The security camera shows two African Americans walking up bust out the back window then about 3 minutes goes by and the car pulls away. They were slowed don since i had a kill switch that cuts off fuel which is in what a thought a good place. Whats worse is my insurance is going to go up because I'm a higher risk because a PLPD car was stolen. grrr... If any one sees a 5 sp Beretta, Grand Am, Saturn SC 2, or S10 please let me know. It feels like you lost a family member. i picked up a auto trader and saw a 89 caprice that was in worse shape going for 3250. I wanted to puke. I don't think anything can replace it except maybe a 66 Toronado or 76 Caprice Convertable. Thanks for sharing my pain thought it helps. And i hate to think of it rolling on 22 as soem drug dealer car or my worse fear it going into a demo derby. sigh... This was at its finest for DF79 request.
  17. It means nothing to most of us but my buddies are telling me theres several Camaros on the Shakers (simulates pot holes and road surfaces) and Door slamming machines so its getting there. I'm trying to convince them to take some cell phone shots but its not worth there jobs. Just thought you would like to know.
  18. Happy B-Day guys!
  19. i finally could use my new miller welder with out it bogging the grid down! You guys need to do that more often.
  20. Well I walked out of best buy after only being in there for 7 minutes and i walk to my parking spot to erupt in rage, anger, and disbelief. Broken glass and tire marks lined the yellow paint. The Caprice was stolen. I've had stuff stolen and broken into before but this was different. Value means nothing its all personal meaning. I almost shed a tear today. i mean its a 18 year old beater not a new smoking hot Charger SRT8. What sucks is tomorrow morning i leave for some well deserved vacation time. I planned on taking that car too. I cant wait to retire and move away from Michigan I'm tired of it all. it was at Gratiot and 13 mile not even a bad part of Roseville. sigh.. Ever had a car stolen? Is just a gut wrenching pain that is indescribable and i don't wish it on anybody.
  21. yeah, I'm alive, not happy but, alive... I actually frequent the news and stuff just haven't logged in in a while.
  22. Then God said Amen 100% agree ^ Im rockin the antec 900 Case and a 12000 score in 3dmark06 Dave just try it out im sure it will help 100%
  23. Have you ever tried http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ download Firefox and never use Internet Explorer ever again
  24. I have to work like the normal person... sigh I went today and regret it because it was insanely packed.
