How much is the insurance for you? I've been looking at a Cobalt and I could afford the payments but I couldn't afford the insurance that Geico and Progressive quoted me online ($1400 every 6 months).

well im only 20, so it is kindof up there... but i have no tickets, and a very good record/credit.. so i think that helps.. I pay 150 per month.. so thats adds up to like 900 every 6 months? but i also have my mom in the policy though, so i guess thats why its so cheap.. on my own i was quoted about 200 a month... which is 1200 every 6 months..

i was in the same boat as u, which is why i got a cobalt.... i originally wanted a used 350z or a new eclipse, and i could afford the car, but i couldnt afford the insurance... 350/month = 2100? every 6 months for a 350z.. ouch lol

I realy get annoyed with people ripping on you and your taste in cars/mods.....however, to put it as nice as possible, my feelings for every single car you have posted can pretty much be summed up with "To each his own."

I hope this cobalt doesnt suffer the fate the eclipse did with a horrific looking body kit (imo).

Keep on keeping on, and if my opinion matters, take that sticker off the paint on your new car!!! lol


On the other hand....you have other fingers.

no offense but if you have the money to make payments on these cars, why not get a quality camera first?

What does a camera have to do with car modding? Thats like saying, if you have all that money to buy a house, why not get a refrigerator with an ice dispenser.


I don't the camera is that bad, like GAM said, I think he just needs to clean the lens.

I have a feeling this is falling on deaf ears but...
Please keep it clean and fast.

That is all.

it is a camera phone... and the lens was dirty too lol.... well in reality my priority is modding the car, not posting nice quality pics of it i know it would be nice to have a good camera, but its really not a high priority thing for me at the time...

as for the stickers... eh i dont really care its new paint, knowing me, i am probably going to end up painting it within the next year and a half anyway.

hmm im not into speed at all... so thats out of the question, i would rather have a reliable show car, than a fast car that will give me problems in the long run (broken axles/engine wear/ and whatnot) and i really don't have the cash to make the engine strong enought for things like boost/etc...

as for keeping it simple, yea i keep a part of the car simple, the engine lol. as for the exterior, simple just isnt my thing, im not going all out on this one either, but i dont like the simple/stock look.


thanks for the comments everyone

What about intake/ headder/ exhaust and cams? simple reliable, gives you some bling and good sound (no fart cannon please)



So... your motto is "slow an gaudy wins the race"


Any pics of the kit you are looking into?

Wow...lots of haters already. I'll wait and see what you do to it before I decide whether or not it looks good. I went ahead and got the Cobalt I was looking at (LS, power nothing, 5 speed, White) and I'm going to shop around on the insurance (no progressive or geico). So good luck with it and post some updates!
