& if you haven't figured out the easy way to get your rear hatch open. You haven't read the OM.

who does? I though it was bad enough that it wouldn't even tell me where the fuse for the power steering was...
After the third time reading "take it to a dealer" that was enough to make me stop reading it.
ya I might come off a bit neg but I'm not ripping on others just my predicament and stating how I feel. It isn't like anyone has said anything back to say I was wrong or should look at it different. I guess ignoring me has in the end worked better lol. My attitude has changed like I mentioned. I am looking forward to the hitch and if it hadn't would I have taken the time to post the pics? I mean like I asked has anyone done that before? I thought it was a pretty cool idea and it worked well in accomplishing what I wanted. The inverter is great for $40 to be able to run anything up to a laptop and have the USB for MP3 players really comes in handy sometimes

Cool, my misunderstanding then..

Don't feel neglected, last I knew there were over 20824 members here..
This is a big & very active forum.. I guess sometimes some posts get missed..

I like your inverter idea & price tag..

Thanks man I couldn't for the life of me figure out where to stick the thing (inverter) it is kinda big an clumsy I was going to put it to the panel by the gear shift and then the passenger seat couldn't be fully moved up. So I thought about mounting it to the fuse cove panel and adding more screws to the panel to hold it up and then that area just popped out at me in the last second and fit like a glove. Out of the way when not in use and close enough that whatever you plug into it can be accessed by the driver as well.

That's cool that's where I work... I have family all over the US CA to CT It's hard to find a set of wheels I like for this thing. I don't like "typical" everyone has something similar wheels. 5 spoke are a definite no no for me. I looked at tirerack and anything I liked was 300 a wheel... Not what I had in mind for 17's. Don't know what I'll do about that yet

They live in South Park, but work in the Burgh...

Small world, I have in-laws out in Modesto, & others all around too..

Rims are a personal thing, me I like 5 spokes.

Heres a link to factory rims, many have a 5x110 bolt pattern too.

thanks for the link. Ya I really like cobalt SS wheels and they are 5 spoke. I seem to favor 6 spoke wheels I don't really care for the "tuner" thin 20 spoke wheels. 6 spoke looks balanced to me

You can usually find the Cobalt SS rims cheep @ the sister site, CobaltSS.net site. In the classifieds, & here sometimes too..

Yea, I don't like the tuner thin spokes either..

Now 6 spokes look odd to me.. Everyone likes different stuff..
