Well it is time to retire my car. Saddly i broke the torque converter clutch and i am forced to retire that car because it is running so bad and getting really bad gas milage. And it is not worth it to fix because i would need a tranny and they are like $1,200 for my car. :( :(
P.S. dont mind the snow tires. And it is really dirty. :)

A brand new cobalt is going to cost $24000 after TTT. J/K anyway i dont want to sell it, there is too much history, and WAY TOO MUCH $$$$$$$ invested.

Well now the i am PI$$ED!!!! Still not fixed after $400+ invested into it. Tranny fixed but now there is still something wrong with the engine and my dad is getting pi$$ed becuase he has scaned it for any code's that it might be thoughing but nothing is helping and he has ran a donstic machine and nothing yet. :( :mad:
