Welcome to the forum.  My favorite car is actually a 69 Nova SS.  I see you have a 72.  Any pics of either car?

Welcome BNRacing and your ride, the 2010 Cobalt SS.  Sweet ride indeed!!!  I notice that you live in West Palm Beach Florida, how sweet does it get, year round top down driving.  I am jealous for sure.  Here we sit in Kansas marooned in snow!  Well, I believe you will find this forum to be a great place to hang.  Lot's of good folks here and passionate about all things Kappa!!!  :thumbs:  :drive:

I love it when you talk dirty like that.

Now if gas was only 25 cents a gallon, we would all be driving monsters like that.  Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the greatest KAPPA forum on the planet. Have fun, and enjoy! The ECOTEC is such a versatile platform I am sure we could trade  knowledge to improve both types of cars.
