Changed my mind again.
I went to the chevy and BMW dealer today.
I sat in a fully loaded 2006 MINI cooper S with 18k miles, but the price was 27 something, I asked if they could bring it down to 24, they said they will get back to me. The feel of it was great, my 6 foot 240 pound body fit nicely. I still want a test drive, but I'm not 18 so I can't sign any waivers, gotta get my dad down there.

So then, it was about 12pm PST, so I decided I would get some info abut that Cobalt SS and then watch the Camaro unveiling with em while I was there.
They had a fully loaded cobalt sport, but no SS. I really like the thing in person, you guys were right. I sat in it, fired it up, it sounded good. 7 speaker Pioneer, sunroof, cruise control, everything but leather seats, which I don't want in the california heat anyways, they get sticky in temperatures over 90, which is all summer. Gas Mileage is good, only thing was that it was an auto. So I asked if he could bring it down to 20,500, from 22,700. I made sure he knew that was FIRM, no going above that, plus I wanted a full tank, my xm subscription bumped up to a year, some floor mats, and license plate frames. He said he would have to talk to the sales manager and get back to me. I will still have to test drive both the SS and sport. I also told him I was more interested in the 5 speed. He has my info, and now I need to talk to my dad to see if he wants to pull the trigger on the deal. I probably won't end up going for it though, I want the SS, for 1500$ more and you get more features and a HUGE HP boost.

Watched the Camaro unvieling. Dissapointed in the February 16th production date. Salesman told me that they wouldn't get em in showrooms till april, and those will be marked up 500-1,500 until about June.

I think I'm between the Mini and Cobalt now, gotta test drive now.
