TWS is an interesting road course. Even for a few low-speed paced laps. Lots of ups and downs, blind hills, etc. And of course the big banked straight using part of the original banked oval track. It's just fun all around.

Uh oh, we have another drifter! Im not sure my wife will let me do another drift event, she felt more hurt than I did after seeing the damage I did to my car and the money its costing to fix.

But its what I love to do so well see.

You just gotta avoid events with concrete objects LOL. I like road courses where you can race to each turn and then drift the turn. Also gymkhana isn't too bad. Just kinda slow and hard to see the direction of cones sometimes.

I did, didnt hit anything but a few cones (which left some marks btw). Was super safe and then a wheel falls off. :/ What luck.

Yeah I used to be on a horrible forum full of trolls for the Cobalt SS. It was baaaaaad. Also, the Android forums are pretty bad too. Lots of people talk too much smack on forums now. So I kind of always have my e-guard up LOL.

Hey guys,

I picked up a 2009 touring + sport 6MT last week. Just want to say hi!

My car needs a 30K service but I don't really want to bring it to a dealership. Can anybody recommend a good shop I can bring it to? I'd like to get the manual transmission oil and diff fluid replaced. Thanks.
