Let me reiterate this....She wont let me buy "her" the Camaro, AKA...buy me the Camaro :lol::lol::lol:

 

What do you guys recommend? She wants something small...like a Cobalt...I want her to go for a Malibu, as its way more comfy, and not that much bigger.

 

So do you think I should go for an SS Cobalt or get her an LT/LTZ Malibu

 

If it were me, I would enjoy the Cobalt for a little while, but I would probably get sick of it in a hurry...The Malibu seems to be very comfortable and looks awesome...and with the deals that GM has on, I can probably get a V6 LTZ for less than a Cobalt SS.

 

What would you guys get.

 

Let me say though....I don't have to drive it...I have the truck and the Zuke once its finished. If it were the Camaro I would drive it...but anything else I don't really care.

Seems to be quite the range of vehicles you're 'considering.' :lol:

 

Big difference between a Cobalt and a Malibu. I personally wouldn't put anyone I care about in something as small as a Cobalt, but that's just me. :lol::lol:

 

My old lady has a 2007 Impala and it is a great car. I haven't personally driven a NBS Malibu, but by all accounts, they seem to be nice cars. Without knowing her commuting regimen, how many kids you have, etc, I'd get a Malibu.

 

Well *I'd* get a G8 or a CTS-V, but I digress . . . :lol:

Well, out of the two cars you said, I would get the Malibu. Or like someone else said, the Impala. It's a pretty cool looking car. :lol:

Malibu !!!!!!!

Cobalt is a cheap looking car, and for a lil more cash you'll have a car that should last a lot longer then the rental car your talking about. Both are okay but the cobalt is almost like the colorado interior, which is what i had before the silverado. It's cheap, feels like bottom barrel and just ugly. Malibu is a sweet looking car w/ proven stats behind it for mpg, reliablity, ect. But good luck i'm sure you'll enjoy what ever it is,

Try to find a left over g8???? I like the impala but i would have a tough time buying a car i thought might be redesigned soon. The malibu is nice. How opposed to buying a foreign car are you? I also really like the newest front end on that Ford fusion. What a shap grille! THe other you may want to consider is the Tear-ass SHO

Is she looking more at a two door, that's why the Cobalt? If that's the case, you know she won't be happy with 4 doors..... Do what I do, just keep buying, someone will be happy eventually. :lol:

my wife has an 09 malibu and loves it. I would highly recommand it. It is the 2lt model and has the 4 cyl, 6 speed. It is a great all around car. She gets 30 mpg regularly out of it. And it has some decent power for the 4 cyl.

She just wants a small car...if its not a Corvette she doesn't really give a shit what it is...as long as its small. She also knows she cant commute in a vette....well she could but I need to buy a house more than a vette.

Cool.

I will have a look at the 2LT...they're only a couple grand more than an SS cobalt anyway.

I'm gonna try and convince her to get the Malibu.... The G8 and Impala are "tooooo Biiiiigggg". Although not much bigger than a Malibu. Of course, we all drive trucks here..so everything is small to us.

As for the SHO...if I had the choice between walking and buying a Ford....lets just say I would keep foot locker in business.

 

Thanks for the recommendations.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
