Don't forget they have to put the empty beer can down and load shotgun too.

Actually a hand gun is the preferred firearm.

As a born, raised, and escaped Texan, I have to agree here. Long barrel weapons only work in pickup window racks.

yes, I've had the problem and there is a service bulletin out to fix the matter; however, the fix was not complete. I still only have about 70% of my brake at start up and after driving about 75 feet. Others on this website have responded to the same issue; however, my question, posed on or about 22 Dec 08, seems to be missing from the website. I have a court case/arbitration hearing coming up nexst week against GM to try and get a new or different vehicle because, unlike others who have posted answers to this problem on this website, I do not like to be conned into buying a car that has this type of malfunction and is systemic to all 2008 HHR's, Solstices, and Sky's.

My dealer just got in an 09 Cobalt SS and I was looking around under the hood and noticed what appears to me as a new brake controller (says TURBO on it).

The post isn't missing, just hard to find because you posted your question in a long unrelated thread. You can still find it at https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/show...907#post340907. When you are logged in, you can find everything you have previously posted by clicking on My Posts.

Are you using the information from posts in this forum for your court case/arbitration hearing next week?
