My Formal (and probably lengthy) Introduction
Hello everyone, I'm Adam. I'm new to the Alero scene, but not that much. You see, I've been a long-time (over 5 years, if you call that long) member over at Grand Am Owners Club. I've owned a GA since 2005 and now own two of them. My first, a 2003 GT Coupe, is my project car, toy, money pit, whatever you'd prefer to consider it.
Yes, there's a solid mod list with it, more coming, but who cares. Anyway, so I elected to purchase another Grand Am earlier this year as a DD so I could park the GT in the winter (I do live in Vermont). So, here's the 2004 SE Sedan, a gem for the price.
Again, I can get into detail, and if you want, by all means ask. Anyway, my girlfriend, who has had horrible luck with cars, took over driving my 2003 Mazda that I purchased nearly 3 years ago. Enjoy picture of said car.
Fast forward to November 23, 2011. Black ice and a full size Chevy truck resulted in this:
Totaled. Amazingly, she only suffered a sore knee. So, we began car shopping and came across, The Replacement. The 2003 Oldsmobile Alero, 73k original miles. It's not perfect and has some imperfections, but it runs perfect and we love it. The pictures suck, but we'll have to wait until the weekend to get some real pictures.
So, enough of the long winded intro I suppose. I'm Adam and I love these damn things.  |

I do. I've really enjoyed my Grand Am, and always like the look of the Aleros.

Thanks. Probably should have mentioned that, huh? The GT and SE are both the 3400 while the Alero has the 2.2 in it.  |

As far as I know, Vermont state law requires the amber corners, or reflectors elsewhere on the car... Otherwise, I probably would. |
