Et prædo triticum, my 99 GLS
 

I came up with the nickname " et prædo triticum ", which is Latin for "Destroyer of grain". Get it?
Anyway, here's the pic(s) of my Alero.

Apologies for only posting a url. I can't figure out how to post a link with thumbnail or anything like that from my phone.

it's a 255,000 mile stock 4-door grocery getter

don't go calling it the rice destroyer yet lol

Its made lunch of ricers before. I would ask what makes you say "grocery getter", but I forgot about the cart lol.

How about a vote for highest mileage Alero on the forums? Unless someone has more miles than me.

We have the exact same color and year...But mine will have a 3500 and a f-40.

Your car runs mid to high 16 second quarter mile times. Who cares that you beat a shitbox F&F wannabe? Your car's slow but their car was slower.
Mine was at 251,000 when I switched bodies. There was still someone with higher mileage I think on here...

Before too long, mine will have the 3500 top in it. So, they'll be somewhat related.

One of the members is still in contact with the owner of his old one and it is at 400k

How about current ownership? Whose current Alero has more miles? Still, awesome that an Alero broke 400k.

Will post more tomorrow, when it's light out.

I had a 16 second Alero once and thought it was the shit. I was so cool street racing and smoking those 18 second Civics all day long.

Then I grew up..

As it sits right now, it runs a 14.5 1/4 mile. No it's not the fastest car out there, but dropping 1.5-2 seconds in the 1/4 mile in a NA car is impressive nonetheless.

One thing here and there isn't going to make your car super fast. On here, We have a cammed 3400, a few turbo'ed, and one with a 3800s/c swap. The beautiful thing about all of them, including mine, is they look stock except for an exhaust and a set of rims. Also when you do your own work, it's not only cheaper, but you make make it more "yours"

You know the Olds rocket on my calipers? I've been asked twice "Yo, where did you get them?" and since the kids asking where dumber than dogshit when it comes to cars, I told themk "I made them" and didn't bother telling them that I just custom painted them myself :coolio:

Your car is not fast, stick with us, ask questions, and it can be ;)

I plan to make it fast. Like in my sig, with that stuff.

Couldnt have been said more beautifully.
When I joined on here I got low enough to get me ebay conefilter with an electric fan in it... but like it had been said. I grew up, spent hours scowering the forum and built up a nice little ho. Until I went chopping down teliphone poles with. but all being said and done my next car did not get filed with childish things and instead more simple, practical, and powerful mods.

That's why I went straight to milzys!

i have a lx9 full swap in mine and my best time ever was a 15.8

so basically don't do the LX9 swap and just boost what you have lol

ion you dirty dog i spy projectors

Get that mofo tuned! You should be running 15.2's no problem!

Still doing the top swap.
Imageshack isn't working with my phone correctly. I'll post pics when I go to the library today.

it is tuned, that run was on my old slipping tranny

Thats old news.

Finally.
