SON OF A! 
Thanks. I've never needed to shoot past 200 yds but the .270 didnt make it all the way out of my big buck this year. It didn't make a solid connection with any bones. If I had not seen him go down, I could have lost him. This makes me cringe. Need bigger but not huge. I think I'm sold on the WSM. Thanks and sorry to hijack your thread. You obviously got to it before I could edit it.

We have the HHR SS '08 Turbo 5-spd, and it's in your glorious Longhorns Burnt Orange. The car comes stock at 260hp, and with the upgrades Eric has added the car is at 290fwhp. Fun to drive.. of course.
As far as room, Eric is 6'4" and he fits it both the front and rear seats. Both rear seat fold down flat, and are also coated with a very heavy plastic and the same on the rear deck (hatchback). The car gets on an average 25mpg when you're not leaning into it.
A few years back, even Farmer Beau made and appearance, and went for a test drive.

Well she doesnt like the gray inlay on the cobalt ss seats, but she likes the G8s so its looking like we're going to get one of those as soon as I can find one semi near in black with the sport and premium packages that the dealer doesnt want 25K for, for a used car that cost at most 29 driving off the lot. This whole car buying thing is such a PITA when you have to take into account some elses preference too. 
If u still want the Cobalt SS, pickup seat covers. Have em sent to your work or so she doesn't she em. Go look at another Cobalt, tell saleman to stall her; then u go fit em on. Just say this 1 comes this way. 
Has does Cobalt SS compare to G8 in terms of insurance? What bout difference in vehicle cost?
Agreed!

The G8 will be a couple grand more with same mileage and year model. Insurance wont be much different, we're married so that knocks insurance rates down a lot. Im not quite sure why they think people who were dumb enough to get married all the sudden drive better 
She just likes the way the G8s look all around better than the cobalt, more room, the mileage thing sucks but then again we dont really do a whole lot of driving. SHe doesnt work very far away, we wont be taking any real long road trips often since all my family is moving semi near me. And we can afford to pay a little extra in gas, if thats what she wants and she is the one that is going to have to DD then thats what we'll get her. Its still a GM product and I can still mod it
