Hi my name is curtis I recently purchased a 2001 olds alero its maroon, and blew up the day after I bought it. Put a motor in it ( from a sunfire ) and so far its been running good but still has a very weird shifting problem when its to the floor.
Looking forward to getting to know everyone a bit more around here and looking forward to modding my alero, Ive always liked them!

Welcome Curtis. Hope you get it worked out. You did use all your original sensors and accessories when you swapped right?

she didn't really mean clear your windows lol
Its a running thing with new members to yell "CLEAR YOUR CORNERS!"
this means to remove the orange reflector that is in the corner of your headlight. many people do this because they feel it gives a cleaner look

Welcome to the site!
To clear up the color question, if it looks like a metallic brown then it's Auburn Mist Metallic. If it looks maroon, then it's Redfire Metallic, or something like that.
