Default EXTRA EXTRA: Cobolt gets beat by GT

off the bat, I LOVE THIS POST

last night after taking down beer pong. i make my way home around as usuall. I come off of 50th on pine island twords oakland park blvd. Cruisin along and what do i see making a right in my direction but a yellow cobalt SS. I just SCREAMED YES. I slow down in 3rd and he catches up quick...he knew. Finish 3rd a car up , and another half in 4th because we shut down for the light , would have been worse. Just to prove I was actually doing this , i whip out my trusty cell phone snap this little pic for u cobolt enthusiasts, seen below..
At the light , as im takin the pic he starts to jet through traffic and get free . oncE i got a semi clear pic i chased him down , BAD. he was movin full speed and about 2 cars up and i just mowed him down , third i was a 1/2 car back and at the end of 4th (about 110 ina 45 , SORRY) i was up 1.5 cars and slapped the hazards on , THEN hit a u and gave him the thumbs up for participating. So pull out ur baG of excuses now.... just be happy we didnt catch a light.

Something about this doesnt sound right....could be that you had been drinking, doing over 100, taking pics while driving, throwing the ricer hazards move or something else im missing. But good kill atleast everyone lived.

the cobalt is basically the same car as the saturn ion. i think the cobalt looks better though. my gf has one and they're actually quite comfortable cars to drive. they handle very well. i wouldn't get an ss/sc for a performance car though.

lol , the reason it wasnt worse the 1st run is because i had to shut down real early in 4th for the light and the second is because i chased him down, he started up ill say at least 2 car , the guy flew outta there. I dont understand why ppl think they're quick from a roll , because that one is false.
