at least some other people feel the way i do now. if its a pos it shouldnt have been within any countable lengths. but to each his own, i think they are nice little econo bangers.

so please tell us why you think they are pos's since you just stated 2 positive things about them. . .yet have only said they are POS's, what part of the car do you think makes them junk? if the engine is good? and get faster pretty cheap?

Your comparing a used 10 year old car to brand new one, can't really do that. Calm down man, you just came off a little cocky and ignorant calling the Cobalt a POS when clearly it is not.

well see all the wrong people around hear drive them, they have a bad name already in my area, people with fart cans and fast and the furious dreams drive them here. they are not a good looking car. i dont like tiny cars like that, so im not really that CRAZY about them.but i expect the people(ricers) like that to drive honda's or dumdumdumdum's. and so on........
ricers ruin it for me.
MABE and i mean MABE MABE MABE.. if i saw a BONE stock one with an intelligent person driving one..... i would have a little more --ya thats ok--- thoughts about them. but its not happend yet. but thats not to say it wont.

Looks and sound are all subjective and we all have our opinion of what is good and what is not, I understand that. However, I don't understand the logic in expecting people to drive certain cars.

I've seen just as many ******** driving mustangs and f-bodys as I see ricers in honda's and the like. Remember, its not the car, its the person behind the wheel.

And just for your info, I'm one of those 'ricers' you expect to drive an SRT 4.

Because you dont like them and idiots drive them still doesnt make them a POS. Alot of idiots drive LS1's too and you like them. Im not sure what MABE means but im not sure why you would only like a stock one when GM makes a kit to put them in 13's? So maybe if i saw your car bone stock with an intellegant person driving it id like it? Im not sure what you meant by that. They are quick, reliable, and cheap. Some people like the looks them. YOu know there are people who dont like the looks of a T/A, i guess you have a POS in their opinion.
