Even the smallest utility trailer is a few hundred pounds. I would call your dealers service department and talk with them.

Found out that I have a dreaded "Monday car" by tsjay

I sent Chevrolet Customer Service an Email asking for the build date on my Cobalt. It took them several days, probably about two weeks, but they finally called me and told me the car was built on 11/12/07. I checked the calendar, and that was a Monday.
 
Is it just a myth, or are there statistics to back up the assertion that cars built on Mondays have more workmanship related quality problems than those made on other days of the week?

There's a song that Johnny Cash sang many years ago and if I can recall the tittle is "One piece at a time" and in that song he says that the best cars are made on a wednesday because it's in the middle of the week.
But it only song lyrics.
Check on the net for the lyrics, kind of a funny song.

Sorry tsjay. The song I was talking about is "A wednersday car" and not "One piece at a time".
 
  Here are the lyrics... have fun.
 
  Lyrics A Wednesday Car
 
The assembly line is runnin' slow on Monday
They've been livin' it up and layin' up Saturday and Sunday
On Tuesday they're about to come around
But they still feel bad and they're kinda down
And mad cause they've got four more day before the weekend rolls around
 
On Wednesday they're feelin' fine again
And they're workin' like a dog and diggin' in
Tryin' to do everything they should puttin' 'em cars together good
And I got me a car that was made on Wednesday on Wednesday
If you're gonna boy yourself a new car
You just better hope you're lucky enough to get one made on Wednesday
 
On Thursday the weekend is in sight
And they're in a hurry and they don't do nothing right
Friday is the worst day of the week that's the day they make lemons dogs and freaks
If your car was made on Friday friend you'll soon be in the creek
 
Cause it's payday and the loafin' has begun
Lord them Friday cars just hope you don't get one
Monday Tuesday Thursday and Friday
Are all bad days and the only try day is Wednesday
And my car was made on Wednesday on Wednesday
If your car wasn't made on Wednesday I'd advise you not to even leave home any

A reporter from a large newspaper is looking to speak to consumers who traded-in a larger vehicle for a small compact car to save money on gas, but spent money on options to get something more comfortable and appealing. If you’re interested in speaking to the reporter, please contact Chintan Talati at ctalatiedmunds.com with your daytime contact information no later than July 9, 2008.

That was decades ago rumors with some facts to back it up such as drinking on the job and coming in hung over. With the way things are run today with quality control that doesn't come into play.

My '08 Cobalt is a Monday car. I found it to have Zero defects, everything works and it is tight as a drum with no squeaks or rattles. This is my first small car in many years, and I am very happy with it. Fun to drive and a great value.

Little help by grosloup

This post is not about the Cobalt. But since it's an automotive forum I've got a little question. I'm thinking of joining the A.A.A. (triple A).
Is it good or I'll just be trowing my money out the window?

We've been AAA members for about 15 years. FWIW and IMO we're not "throwing" our money out the window.
 
Recent case in point.
 
One night my nephew was screwing around and locked my Jeep doors while the engine was running. No spare keys handy! Called AAA, they had a tow truck on the scene within 30 min. Got the doors open and off I went.
 
That one service more than paid for the cost of our annual fee.
 
I've also found in my work that most of my customers with AAA generally tend to get better and faster service than if they called some random name in the phone book.
 
Now, with our new vehicles I have an arguement with the wife on this. Since we have road side service as part of the warranty protection I've wanted to drop AAA but she won't due to past experiences.
