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.

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.

WOW! GREAT!
Thanks for the reply. That's why I was wondering if I should join AAA because my vehicule just got off the G.M. roadside assistance plan and I want to still have some kind of protection. Thanks again.

My insurance (State Farm) offers towing coverage for next to nothing, maybe a couple dollars per six month premium. I suppose most insurance companies have similar deals.
 
Also, my insurance covers locksmith charges, and I don't believe I have to pay anything extra for that feature.

Does anyone know the differences between the 2008 and 2009 Cobalt LT. They seem to be identical but there must be some difference in features, options, etc.

Found this... might help a bit. Looking for more.
 
New for 2009
The Chevrolet Cobalt gets variable valve timing on its 2.2-liter engine in an effort to improve mileage. GM's OnStar communication system becomes standard on all models, and the high-performance SS model is available as a sedan.
 
Exterior
All Cobalt body styles feature a horizontally split grille with a gold bowtie badge. Built on a 103.3-inch wheelbase, the Cobalt measures a bit more than 180 inches long overall, making it longer than any of its competitors. At 67.9 inches wide, it's narrower than the Civic and Corolla but wider than the Focus by more than an inch. At 57.1 inches, the Cobalt is about half an inch taller than the Civic but still shorter than the Focus and Corolla.
New wheel options in 15-, 16-, 17- and 18-inch sizes depending on model
High-performance SS model available in coupe or sedan
Sport model dropped
Available Sport appearance package with spoiler, body molding, 17-inch wheels and other items
Different rear-end designs for sedans and coupes
Interior
With front bucket seats and a 60/40-split folding rear seat, all Cobalts seat five occupants, and the trunk can be accessed from inside the car. On models with an automatic transmission, an optional remote start system allows drivers to start the engine with a key fob. Seats with heated, leather surfaces are optional on LT models, and SS models have unique interior trim bits. Bluetooth connectivity is available. Standard equipment includes:
CD player with auxiliary input jack
Air conditioning
XM Satellite Radio on all models
Driver information center
Under the Hood
LS and LT models use a 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine with new variable valve timing. GM says the engine will be more powerful and fuel-efficient, but it has not been tested for fuel economy. The SS model uses a turbocharged and intercooled 2.0-liter four-cylinder, which uses direct injection. The LS and LT are available with a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission, whereas the SS is only available with the manual.
155-horsepower, Ecotec 2.2-liter (150 pounds-feet of torque)
260-hp, turbo 2.0-liter (260 pounds-feet of torque)
New final drive axle ratio improves fuel economy
Four-wheel disc brakes on SS models
Standard electronic stability control on SS models
Safety
Antilock brakes are standard on 2LT and SS models and optional on LS models. Cobalts with the automatic gearbox and antilock brakes also have traction control.
Free one-year subscription to OnStar, which alerts authorities in the event of a collision and provides crash data
Side curtain airbags are standard on all models, but side-impact airbags for the front seats are not available
