Picture This.......

I moved the Vette out of the garage today to let my newly painted soft top frame dry in the sun and glanced at my DD (Black '06 Chevy Cobalt SS Sedan) and saw this:

I thought it looked cool so I took a couple more pictures.

I've got about 1700 miles on it now and love it. It is fully loaded and I can't believe that I lived without XM radio. XM is simply awesome. I've heard songs I haven't heard in years. The car has good power (more than a 1975 L48 - 171 vs. 165) so it goes good for a 4 popper. I have the 2.4L which has the VVT valve timing (like Honda's VTEC). Leather seats are comfortable. My wife and two kids can fit into it good. The only complaint I have so far is a rattle behind the passenger dash but I think something is broken (bracket or something). I have not taken it in but the dealers knows about it and said they would find it and fix it. The best part is the dirvers information center tells you MPG and the thing hasn't gone below 23 MPG city. It is suppose to get over 30 on the highway. That was one of the main reasons I got it.
