What did I do to my alero today? I took my plates off of it and got it ready for the tow truck. Took all of my aftermarket off of it to use for the future (or sell)
Why? I got slammed in the rear on the highway. Not at fault. Damage to the unibody and wrinkled lots of the lower trunk frame. Wasn't worth putting the money into it to get it drivable again. Even though I loved my alero to death, I could move on to something a bit bigger and better with the money the insurance gave. I'm now an owner of a beautiful 2000 mustang. I'll get pics of both cars to you guys as soon as I can

Ha! I thought you said you wanted something better? Sorry to hear about the alero. I went mustang once... never again. Those things are sluggish pos's.

I thought you said bigger and better. A mustang is definately not bigger. Good luck with the new ride though and sorry about your alero.

I've actually been pleased with driving it despite what you guys are saying. I've driven a few different types of cars and I've enjoyed all of them so I guess I just like driving lol

Not today, but my ex let her get towed to an impound lot and by the time they got a hold of me they wanted 3k for it... I got my stuff out of her and signed the title over... still really upset about it. They think the car was worth that much though.. so jokes on them

I went to the autoparts store this morning at 10-11am, ordered a vent valve solenoid to hopefully fix my engine light, and a walker resonator pipe that connects the muffler and the cat since mine had holes.
The parts arrived at the store at 330pm, drove to my mechanics and got in right away, an hour later everything was done, engine light removed, and my exhaust is silent for the first time in 3 years.

Nope Nate, the crazy ex let it get towed from my old apartment (which I was still paying for) she told them I abandoned the car, I just didn't have room for two cars at my new place and was llanning to get the car that weekend to get all my parts off it so I could send them to everyone. I was going to just give you my wheels and motor, and sell the exhaust and stuff..

Tune up. Ac Delco wires, NGK IX Iridium plugs. First tune up in almost 70k miles. Going to change the oil tomorrow.

I took off my Nebraska plates and put on my new michigan plates. Front look ugly with the bare license plate holder full of holes. Oh well. Time for a gimmick plate to cover it up

My HID ballast went bad this morning, and I had just gotten paid. I ordered the VVME 55w 8000k kit since I have the extra money.
Edit: Lights came in today. I'll post pics in my build thread.

Drove it. Was my first time since sometime last fall. :O
Car did just fine in the garage with a battery tender (trickle charge) left on it overnight one night per week over the winter. Also added some PAG150 and a can of R134a to get the A/C to work. Will probably replace the compressor at some point when I'm 100% sure it's the problem (I do think it's the typical V5 belly leaker).
