personally I would sell the 79 and the Jeep and try to hold onto that 02 Camaro...The odds of getting another in the same shape when your better off, are slim to none...try to keep it as long as posible, only sell it as a last resort. but thats just my opinion
Cobalt SS does not get 36mpg. The Cobalt XFE(eXtreem Fuel Economy) edition does, coupe only.
New Cobalt SS turbo is a great car, but under 30mpg.

Plastic housing only on the 2.3 from what I remember. 2.0 takes a regular spin on filter.
Friend of mine has had a 2.0 Mazda 3 4dr for 3 years now, and she likes it. Not a lot of power, but she got 35mpg going to and from western PA.
Mazda's handling is great, (better with the 2.3 sport package), but it would be a good draw between the 3 hatch and Astra 5dr.
Anyone who goofs up on the new plasic oil filter housings should be shot. Dont take it to douchebage lube shops.
