hey gang,
i picked up a replacement for teh cavalier that everyone has grown to love/hate. :)
i got a left over '03(not a typo) Olds Alero. it is silver, 2 door, 4cyl(2.2 ecotec), 5spd, and has no options at all. :)
it is a good car, i put about 130 miles on it yesterday after i picked it up. mileage seems really good so far and it rides nice. it could use a little bit more power, we will figure that out over time i guess.
it is nice drivign a car with a working heater, turn signals that turn themselves off after you make the turn, a working horn, and almost double the hp of the cavalier. :) i have not fully adapted to driving stick yet, i know how to drive it, but this is teh first time i have ever had my own car with a 5spd. so i have to get used to it.

hopefully i will have a few pics to post up with in the next few days.

later

03 leftover?? :lol: they must have given you that thing.

they had a bunch of rebates and stuff on it, plus i got them talked down a little bit more. i paid 6500 under sticker price and still got an extended warranty out of the deal. 70k mile "care free" warranty that covers everything, including brake pads and the clutch :) hmmmm, hole shots are yummy good time fun :)

Yea, I'll vouch for the thing, it is MUCH nicer than the cavalier. It's just sad that the days of ralley cav are over :cry:
