New member - Indy500
 

Hello,

I just joined after finding the forum. I am a new alero owner (as in new owner, not a new alero obviously). I bought a 2001 5 months ago. It needed a few things done to it. These are the ones that I have completed.

• Resistor pack changed
• installed new Driver side window regulator/motor (drove for a few weeks with the window held up with two vise-grips on the tracks just below the window clips while I waited for parts and a little warmer weather)
• fixed broken spring/support in back of driver seat (coat hanger formed there now)
• Hazard switch changed
• Rear speakers swapped as one was dead

It has also been rear-ended twice. :eek: Both were while my son was driving; neither were his fault. I'm wondering if the bronze color I have isn't noticeable or something.

After the first, it was repaired, on the second it was totaled out (doesn't seem to take a lot of damage to reach that level), but I will try to do a minimal amount of repair as it is still driveable, is worth more than the amount to buy it back from insurance, and I don't want to put a lot of money back into it. Anyway, I hope that's not sacreligious for this group as I will likely be driving it around with a small dent in the rear quarter panel and no intentions of fixing it further.

I wish I found the group a little earlier as I saw a post in here that had a link to the window regulator that would have been cheaper than what I payed.

Looking forward to a long stay (hopefully),
indy500 (where I live, not my driving style - mostly ;) )

Thanks for the welcomes. After seeing some of the mods some of you have done, I must say I feel a little bad that I am not fiixing up the alero. But, my son and I enjoyed looking at the pictures of the mods.

I actually live just north of Indy, not near the Speedway, but being from around here, that username seems to be available when I log in to forums, etc. You kind of get used to using a name. Although, in a car forum, it's not always available.

Anyway, I will try to join in as I can.
