Hello everyone my name is Mike Beams from Louisville, KY. I stumbled upon SOF while googling info about the MyLink. I was actually surprised to find such a large forum dedicated to one model of car. I really like all the info and tips I’ve read so far. I’ve been a “forum guy” for about half my life on various forums dedicated to hobbies and interests I’ve had over the years. I actually own a vB forum/website for an Xbox gaming community. I defiantly see myself as someone who’ll be using and contributing to SOF for the duration of my sonic ownership.
So my story, my wife and I bought a 2013 Cruze last summer (her car)……wouldn’t ya know a few months later the transmission on my 97 GMC Jimmy went out. I was then forced to borrow cars and get rides for about 5 months while waiting for tax season
When it was time to go car shopping Chevy was the only choice for me, I loved/was jealous of her Cruze eco. I ended up buying a 2014 Sonic Sedan LT, Cool Blue, automatic, MyLink/Cam. This is my 17th day of ownership 354 miles and I am in LOVE this car.
Funny story/I want to hurt someone story……(substitute “fricken” with your favorite expletive)
Leave the lot at 8pm with the car, wake up for work at 6am the next day and find someone put a slice of “fricken” BOLOGNA on my “fricken” hood!!!! Seriously!! I didn’t even officially own it but 10 hours and already something. Luckily it didn’t do any damage, I heard that if it was really hot and sat for a while it would take the paint up. Good thing it was the middle of the night at about 30 degrees. Anyway turns out 3 other cars got hit by the bologna bandit as well. We don’t know who did it but we suspect it was this bad little girl with no parental supervision that lives in the building next to us. I found out later that day that she and my downstairs neighbor got into it. Everyone around us thinks it was probably some sort of retaliation. Either way if it happens again I’ll know who did it. As soon as I left work that day I drove straight to best buy and bought a security camera. THE “FRICKEN” BOLOGNA BANDIT IS GOIN DOWN!
Anyway, glad to be here and look forward to ripping off some of the awesome ideas I’ll see here :banana:
Pics or it didn't happen....
Someone doesn't know how many days are in April lol, I had to post the temp tag haha
