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...

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.

its not to bash you personally its just that alot of people on here don't like cobalts. its to each his own so with that in mind don't take things too serously unless its car related

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..... |

I didn't have a problem getting it registered. I just had to have the state patrol look at it and make sure all the lights and horn and blinkers worked.

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.. |
