2002 Alero GX

[colonel6632]

Hello everybody.

Ive posted a few times on here... but figured i should introduce myself

I'm from saskatchewan, and puchased a 2002 alero from a used car dealership about 7 months ago.

after purchasing the car... topped up all fluids and such. But about 2 weeks later... the car burned every last drop of oil and started making knocking noises... engine was shot, and it only had 95000km on it lol

but thankfully GM replaced it was a brand new motorm only had 500km keft on my warranty... after labor and parts and everything... the final bill came out to $7000... but i just had to pay $120

and then in the middle of winter... smashed in my front bumper. Was super pissed about it... but just decided to leave it like that because i knew it was bound to happen again during winter.

So i decided to purchase a car stereo.. well half a car stereo! Got 2 12" subs, a deck, and an amp installed by me and a roommate. It's nothing compared to your guys stereos... but hits more than hard enough for me!

This weekend after many painful hours looking for a bumper... i finally found one... too bad it's white... took off the front license plate holder before installing it on car (haven't done yet)

welcome to the aleromodding family

[colonel6632]

lol. thanks for the welcomes!

and salutes would be nice... but not necessary.
thats my nickname and people always tease me like that. (minus the 6632 part of course)

and i've been reading all sorts of things on here, and super excited to get started on my alero... but not sure what to do first! lol

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

clear the corners and lower it.... or are you too scared of the road's in Saskatchewan?

[antichrysler]

lol that plastic stuff on the bottom always breaks off... rain on top of snow = cracked plastic

[colonel6632]

lol. i'm working on the corners... and i doubt i'll be lowering it anytime soon. Thinking 17" rims and the razzi body kit... but those are a long ways away.

and ya... i am scared of the Saskatchewan roads... i bottom it out enough as it is lol
