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

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.

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!...
