We were late leaving this morning since we didn't leave last night by and hour or so took 6 hours to get to detroit with the bad weather, white out conditions, little cars trying to be the heros, quite funny stuff, pictures to come about that. well now even 15 minutes into detriot some huge ass ups truck desides he wants to pass Malero and that didn't go to well, some smoked car, bumer, trunk, window, plus more, no one was hurt thankfully, detroit is the worse for accidents there some stupid stuff. mike will post in more detail i am sure when he is back. Hope everything got worked out for you mike, good luck with the car.

Hey just though I'd post up some interesting stuff that happened today (Sunday). I saw malero's car today, he was turning left onto huron church, presumably to go home, and I saw his car was all smashed up (at the time, I didnt know who's alero it was but I noticed the aleromod stickers).

I was driving my friend home, who lives near by. I went to turn into her driveway, and I got stick in a ~3 foot pile of snow left by the friendly snow plow... it was stupid to even try getting into her driveway but that's besides the point. So I'm stuck partly in her driveway, and the rest of my car is on the road, blocking traffic because the street is narrow and covered with snow. A guy comes from across the street and helps me push my car out.

He noticed my aleromod stickers, and as it turns out, he's a friend of malero. He told me that malero's car was hit by a USPS truck that fishtailed and ran into the back of him. "Oh really?" I said, and then it clicked "Oh poop, I just saw malero, he was turning onto huron church".

Small world, huh? So I thanked the guy and went on my way :P

Malero when you get this, thank your friend for me again ok? He lives on California, I don't know his name or anything but hopefully you know who it is...

Anyways I'm still working on getting my pics posted up I havnt had time to do up a website yet..

Geez, I'm glad I went last weekend. I'm about to head outside for the first time this weekend. I've heard the roads are still pretty crappy, but I need some dinner.

Ok I finally got a page up, the host it's on was free, so let me know if the page loads quickly enough and what not...

Here are all my NAIAS '05 pics, enjoy!

They're all 1280x960 resolution, it might be too big but I wanted nice quality pics so... if everybody thinks they're too big I can re-size them to 1024x768 or something...

Hey, that was probably Jordan. He drives a 2dr grand prix GT. He is on this site as GrandPrixGT.

He was picking up his buddy to head back to Toronto himself.

And yeah, that was me driving around with my smashed up car

Definatly an interesting day.

The snow was horrible, But since we pimp a 4wd trailblazer i blew rite thru it at about 65 the whole way

So i get there pretty much rite on time find a parking garage, then decided to wait for everyone so sat in my car for 45 minz.

Decide to wait inside the show, so i walk over to teh show and wait inside the lobby

I hear from Jen about 45 minz later and she tells me they're commin thru the tunnel and her fone is outta service. So i assume they'll be here in like 20 minz

3 hours later!!!!!! I still haven't heard from anyone so decide to go to the pontiac display and wait there. So i still hear from noone, then boom outta nowhere i spot jenn walkin up

. So thats when they tell me a Post office truck smashed up mikes car

(i know i work for them, but claim no responsibility LOL!!) and he has to wait like 4 hours for a tow truck.

so the day was all down hill from there. Saw some sweet rides at teh show, decided we were all stayin in windsor, then decided we were goin home, then decided we were stayin and partyin, then decided we were goin home LOL

P.S. don't sweat it mike, the post office has excellent insurance and u will be well compensated :thumbsup:

ended up not going saturday because i didn't get home til 4pm. i left promptly at 9...mapquest says 5 hours, i've done it in 4 but it took me 7. that was all of the fun i was interested in for one day when it came to driving on crappy roads with the alero. the whole family came over for my grandpa's birthday and met the new girlfriend. we went and saw coach carter later on but drove my mom's denali so we tanked through the crappy roads.

next day, woke up bright and early and went to the show, got a lot of nice pictures and liked the show. i don't think it was as good as last year but it was still fun.

this summer, i'm selling the alero and buying a 4wd SUV so let's make sure we schedule something for next year too and i'll be there on time...hopefully.
