Got a 2002 alero with a salvage title
Hey everyone, I'm new here and I just bought a 2002 alero with some body damage for a winter beater... I paid 750 for it. I call it the beer can cuz it looks like a crushed beer can... I don't really plan on modding it cuz that's what my other car is for... I am putting an auto start in it today and that's probably all I will do to it...

Thanks for the warm welcome...
I didn't come in here bashing aleros so why do you have to bash my car? I never said it was better than an alero.

Chill Pill yo........Its just a joke, there are several members who have gone from an alero to a cobalt. I always used to run with the ss' and redline's in denver because they were a cool group who like GM and FWD.......but they were always pissed they couldn't keep up..... |

Pretty sure my 2.4 can keep up with a 3.4 just as easy. My whole family has 3.4 Aleros except for me. ive had my fair share of racing also.. |
