> talk her into getting a cobalt s/c or t/c. best bang for the buck and shell be getting respect no matter where shes at. ive got a damn near stock cobalt n/a for my daily driver and cant complain becuase it runs down hondas and has more torque than any 2.2liter i know of. deffinetly a good buy especially with all her financial aid.

Respect isn’t a concern. I hear what you’re saying about bang for the buck, but affordability, being able to get to work/college, and reasonable insurance (so I can afford to pay for college) are the concerns.

The car became airborne, then when it landed slid into a utility pole, sheering the pole and causing live wires to fall onto the roadway.
