Previous Owner
 
I'm bored and thought to make this... Used car owners, have you ever wondered, "Who had my car before me?" While taking off the wheels to put on new rims I found an excuse from gym in the trunk under the spare tire, along with a lip gloss. I'm quickly getting the idea that the previous owner was one of the people that lets trash pile up in his/her car or didn't care too much. (No offense to anyone) As when I got the car there were several stains on the roof like someone opened a shaken soda can in the car, the hub caps were one big scratch and the steelies were bent so bad. Anyway, I'm glad I may have "saved" my cobalt from a life of grime. lol I'm sure she feels pretty now, I spoil her. lol Share your stories of finding clues to the history of your car!!

When i got my 93 storm, i pulled out the back seat looking for spare change, much to my surprise, i found a baby bottle and a pacifier under the cushion, along with a baby's book, and $34.00 in change(paid for the one part i needed to get it working)

My Cobalt has a spot on the edge of the driver side bumper where the paint kinda spiderwebs out from one point. I feel this means a woman owned the car before me, and backed into some unsuspecting car/light post.

My supervisor's dad had a used car lot/junk yard. he said they found all kinds of stuff. money, drugs, even a couple guns. personally, if anything had been in my car, i would be angry. only had 7 miles on it when i got it. brand new.

Never wondered who owned my car before me, have had alot of cars. Well actually I did want to know if the owner of my 94 eclipse was a chick or not before I got it, it had a system in it, big muffler, was lowered, probably had wheels aswell but they took all that out and put the stock stuff back in. I am guessing it was a guy but I found some girl stuff in it.

I am actually lookin on all the cobalt sites for my Cobalt LS, so if anyone see's this ride on any of the sites under any name besides Beamer or SlavNation let me know cause I want to see who has it haha.





Sorry if image size is too big

Well as I put in my new speakers today I found clues that something happened in my driver's side door. In the handle in the middle of the door, not the latch, one screw was missing so I was like huh o well. So i got the panel off and got the speaker out and whats attached to the magnet... the missing screw. I wonder how that got there.
