Hello from southern Michigan
Hello everyone,
I am from Battle Creek Michigan and I have an 03 GL sedan with the 3.4 and I just hit 75,000. I bought almost 4 years ago to save on gas. I bought it because the price was real good and never thought much about any mods whatsoever until I had to replace the aluminum rims due to Michigan's salty winter roads....... Anyways I have always modded my other vehicles and just never thought of the Alero as something to mod. I was going to replace the 15" rims with 15" rims and then something snapped and I had realized that I have never done anything to make this car "mine". I put on a set of 17" Raceline rims with 245/45 Falkens. Then I decided it wasn't enough so I found this site. I have been browsing around and reading a lot of posts with tons of good info. I would like to thank everyone here for such a sweet site. I look forward to future mods and all the shared info!

Welcome! You bought the 3.4L to save gas? You must own some V8 cars or something lol. As you probably noticed a lot of us mod our cars. Lowered, tint and bigger rims can really make an alero look sexy. Got any pics of your alero with rims?

Welcome! I'm in Kalamazoo and recently picked up my GX as a daily driver and gas saver. I've been pleased with mine. The mod bug is starting to hit me though. Especially with her being a 5-speed.

Welcome, from another Kalamazoo guy. Technically I switched over to Cobalts because of fuel economy, but I still have the Alero itch.
