Nice Sleepy.  ::)  I think you forgot to put your contacts in....that's not a Charger.  ;D

Isn't it going to be hard to tote the family around in that thing?

Yes it's a Cobalt, No Charger for me at least not for the next 5 years. I have to think about gas mileage and being responsible.

We have a mini van for the kids, this is strictly for commuting and stuff. I can tote them around if really needed. I got 38 MPG on the way to work tonight  :D

Masquerading as a normal person day after day is exhausting.

Nothing clever to say here.  Not enough caffine yet.

No no, you've got it wrong.  It's fast because it's yellow.  The spoiler is there for impressing the ladies...  ;)

As the proud owner of Chiquita 2, a 2002 VW beetle, I concur 100% with your choice of color.  Yellow rocks!

Great car, good luck with it.  And as I get 37 mpg on the highway and a 45 mile round-trip commute, I know you will be smiling all the way to work and back!

Its very nice and the yellow should make it easier for spotting in crowded parking lots.
The mind is like a parachute, its best when open.

OMG Sleepy!  I am looking into trading my Malibu for a Cobalt or a Aveo!  The Cobalt wasn't my idea it was the dealers but... I'm so sick of my Malibu hogging gas that I could scream and I like little cars.  I used to drive a beat up Ford Festiva that was smurf blue... and it got 40 miles to a gallon... *sigh* I miss that car.

I wish I could get a new car. My 97 Taurus is kinda dying, and gas mileage could be better, but at least I only have to fill up once a week. (Had a great surprise this morning. Gas jumped 16 cents) But I have no monies for a new car. :(

Oh, and I also vote SCRVYDG.

Last year I had to get a rental car while they were doing some work on my car, and they gave me a Coblat.

I pulled up to work in it the next day and a couple of my co workers started giving me crap about it. They said it was a "chick" car...LoL

Your Cobalt looks a lot nicer and sportier then the one I had. I think mine was a 4 door and it was kinda a bubblegum red color. Looked like a dang gumball going down the road!

Your 2 door looks way better! And, at 38 mpg you can't go wrong, especially when gas is going to be closing in on 4 dollars a gallon soon!...

I am on board with the SCRVYDG plate too!...
