It's been awhile

more like 6 months. I see that some glitch reset the site, glad some people remember me. Some don't know me some do. I was banned about 6 months ago, alot of the people who were banned with me I see are back. Hopefully I can be too. Although my other name still says banned (i hated that name) I allready sent a message to the admin for those who freak out. Anyways Wanted to say Hi to old friends, which was my main reason for coming here and seeing what's new with the cobalts. I still miss mine a bit.


oh yeah and recent pics may help so here you go:

Welcome back Jen and I hope the new engine and transmission last longer than the original ones did.

they better or i'm gonna cry :(

Your Balt motor blew up too...bad luck I guess. Mine had a little oil leak but it always started and ran perfectly for me. If I hadn't taken off the motor covers then I would've never seen it...you really have to keep an eye on those Rotary engines though, they just love to burn up and completely fail.

we all believe the previous owner had to of done something to it. I mean i bought the car with no oil change, no fluids, bald tires. Within the first month the engine was remanufactured 4 months after that it's getting a new tranny. It's surely nothing I did. I know how to drive :D

Welcome Back Jen!!

thanks!

It's just a rotary thing, they're not reliable, sound terrible, and suck down gas like a V8. I check out the specs compared to my fiancees LS2 GTO and the GTO is rated for higher city and and freeway mpgs than the rotary...it has 160 more hp and like 240 more ft/lbs of torque and the whole car weighs more.

is it just me or does it seem you have bad luck with cars? haha
