connie: you seriously have the worst luck. hope you didn't get ticketed

Too late... Oh well... I guess I can put off paying doctor bills and just pay this off. Like I had any choice in the matter. I'm honestly thinking of selling the coupe the first of the year. I need to listen to some folks and look for a reliable family car.

hey, there's room in the back of the coupe for a baby seat!
they're roomy.

that looked like fun but you should have come off dukes of hazzard style. Then you could call your insurance company and tell them you hit a dog

adrian: awesome, great news man.. and that's f**kin cool as hell that they paid for it all. they must really be hurting for new hires since they went through all the trouble. what rental car did you get? i'm glad you had fun man.

When I saw Alamo in my email I was a little disappointed. But beggars can't be choosers right. I was expecting an Aveo, instead I got a Pontica G5, which as I'm sure you know is a rebadged Cobalt. The only thing I liked about it was the XM stereo. (Area kicks ass!!!) However, after driving that thing for 3 days I'm absolutely clueless as to why someone would buy one over a Civic or Corolla. Take about cheap-ass interiors. The dashboard was typical GM solid piece of hallow plastic. The Drive by wire sucks, I hate it. The steering was on the heavy side, with almost no slack(good for a domestic), but it also lacked feel. I realize it was a base model and not an SS, so shitty performance was a given. The ride was stiff but driving on the on ramps it made sense. It handled better than what I expected, a lot better. My first impression of the brakes were that they had very good feel. After a panic brake I realized that they worked like a light switch. ON or OFF with very little in between. The gas mileage was not bad for the way I was driving (averaging 26mpg, keep in mind Speed Limit on the interstate is 70 in most parts). At least the A/C worked and the radio kicked ass.

On a side note, I did get to test drive an 01 MX-5 while I was there. Made me want one even more.
