I can be a good husband, but not this time.

If I were, I would have posted first that my Lovely Wife Cheryl purchased a 2005 Chevy Cobalt LS yesterday to replace the recently deceased Cloud Car instead of my obsession with THAT FUCKING CORVETTE THAT TORMENTS ME SO.

Unlike the Cavalier, which everyone (especially owners) agree was a functional car that had nothing to like about it, the Cobalt is way cool. Much nicer and roomier inside, zippy with a 2.2 liter engine, and it's got a rear spoiler wing thing. Which, in addition to providing drag at normal speeds, could theoretically provide some downforce on the rear wheels of this front wheel drive car. What are they thinking with this stuff? I like to think of it as a large trunk handle. "Hey, nice handle on your ricer there, chief." Cheryl says the spoiler is "her ego" and she can see it every time she checks six.

Also came with XM Satellite Radio, which she has for 3 free months. After that, if you don't pay the subscription fee, you have a funny plastic thing on your roof that doesn't do anything. There will be pictures soon, but it's cloudy today and I don't want to ruin the effect of the Blue Granite Metallic paint job, which looks sexy when the sun's out. Cheryl is considering sharky names, like The Shark or Hammer or Bruce. More on this as the story develops.
