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.

03 leftover?? 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
