Another Armada in the Cobalt Chat tow rig fleet. My wife's new 'Hockey Mom' SUV.

5.6L V8 puts out 390hp and 394 lb-ft of torque. Tow capacity of 8500lbs. Self-levelling rear suspension. Should be able to handle our 2007 212.

ColinC what does the self leveling rear suspension do. I have heard of it and wonder if I should add.

Self-leveling suspension keeps your not only from going nose-up, tail-down when hauling or towing something heavy, but enables the vehicle to use softer rear springs for a more comfortable ride when you aren't towing. Without the self-leveling suspension, softer springs would bottom out too easily, so stiffer springs would usually be used.

For my American friends, this should help clear a few things up. Even hockey. The Hosers on the board -- me and NiCad -- can confirm that this video is true and accurate, eh.

All kidding aside, I'm a big fan of American craft beer. There's been a big increase in the number of craft breweries in Canada, but nothing like what has taken place in the U.S. over the past 20 years.

The whole "buying beer" thing in Canada is really weird. I can buy beer in a CVS in NY. Was in Niagara this past weekend and FINALLY located a place to get some Heineken and a bottle of wine.

We don't tow far (1 mile) but when we do it's never a problem with 8 folks heading to the boat ramp.

Ahhh....white diamond. You and I are alike in so many ways BBP. She's a beut! ....especially with those chrome wheels bringing the entire package together as eye candy.

Now we just need a pic of her pullin' the Cobalt!

Congrats again my friend.
