Old's Wife

[bdyman]

did scots car make it ok , i so want to be there right now, maybe next yr

[That01Olds]

Well guys we are on our way. Were in muncie, indiana right now at white castle. Traffic in indianapolis was ridiculous from exit 103 on 65N then on 465 and again until exit 10 on 69 it was backed up. Will be back on the road shortly and should be there later tonight. Also last I heard from smurf he was coming up on louisville and the indiana border. So we are on our way and can't wait to get there.

[cherrington17]

i'm at work... and getting an alignment tomorrow.

so.. i'm at the ASS monster garage in spirit. :lol:

[MotorCity]

[Silentalero]

I may swing up late friday if I get this stupid car done! Ugh

[Old's Wife]

hey can i show up tmrw and show off my car.. jus not be entered in anything ???

Yes sir

[Old's Wife]

Yes sir

Why don't you come by all weekend.

[jackal2000]

have fun everyone! wish i was there.

[NoSweat83]

I guess I give out nuts where ever I go...

[BlackJack]

dammit, missed it AGAIN. And next year at this time I'll be in Iraq (what a surprise). I predict I may be able to seriously attend in the yr 2015

[Redog]

I's here

Took the Canada route it was cool. would have taken me 13 hours if customs didn't decide to toss my car:(

Nate? what exactly is your current excuse this year?

Good nite

[wrestlingandrunning]

Have fun guys, maybe some year I'll come and have something to show.

[MP99Alero]

I wish I could be there, ASS'10 would be much better than taking care of a broken wife ;)...but seriously, hope y'all are having great fun.

[PappaSmurf]

Oh yeah the party has OFICIALLY started, Smurf is here! I got here late thursday night thanks to a piece of shit rental company. No names (enterprise)! Anyway off to bed I go!
-Smurf-

[MotorCity]

ill be there around 10 30 today :) see ya soon :lol:

[bigdaddyD]

ill be there in a few hrs, i have to drop the kids off at the baby sitters and pick up a new hub.

[bigdaddyD]

well, small problem, car wont start now, so now i have to figure out whats going on, this short in the electrical is killing me.

[cherrington17]

ken, nate has been pretty sick (no idea to the degree, but as per him) and he has work/wedding this weekend.

BJ, why not just move to Iraq. Seriously... the gov't should just relocate you, build you a fortress, and pay you to live there.

[bigdaddyD]

ok so i wont be out today, car wont start and i cant get anybdy to look at it until atleast 1pm. unless somebody is really good at diagnosing electrical systems. hopefully i can make it out tomorrow.

[cherrington17]

whats it doing, or not doing?

does it turn over? does your battery have voltage? are your power/ground lines on,tight, clean of corrosion?

[Cashdollar2009]

whats it doing, or not doing?

does it turn over?

If this, I bet it's passlock. http://www.aleromod.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16546&highlight=passlock

Scroll down to Oldsman's post. It hadn't done it in a year for me, then hit me again a week ago. :(

[bigdaddyD]

when turning the key, it makes no noise, its not cranking over, but theres still power to everything(radio, windows, etc...). The guages havent been working lately and i think the 2 are linked, i have also lost the function of my key fob.

[cherrington17]

check all your fuses? (all 3 panels)

[bigdaddyD]

i checked the ones on the driver/passenger side, wheres the 3rd panel?

[cherrington17]

under the hood.

[bigdaddyD]

i didnt check that, but i did have a towed to a buddy of mine whos a gm mechanic at the delta plant, hes going to take a look at it for me and let me know, its just going to take a while, hopefuly it can be fixed tonight so i can make it out tomorrow, or ill just take someones car out there.

[[ion] C2]

Yeah get out hereeee

[[ion] C2]

Cliff says it's the BCM

[walkerj014]

I think your battery has a low charge. Happened to me a few months back. Key FOB wouldn't work and I still had enough power to work the window. How long have you had the battery? I would check battery. just my 2 cents

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

i'm at work... and getting an alignment tomorrow.

so.. i'm at the ASS monster garage in spirit. :lol:
lol monster garage for me too. see my other thread.

wish I could be there! (on the plus side...I went to the mall this morning. no need for Hooters girls when you got hot weather and a mall. hehe)

[strtrydr]

Greatest quote of the night:

This is OnStar we have detected that your airbags have deployed.

[Oldsman]

Some great quotes last night.

[Redog]

Just got done eating at the oakmont plum service area on the pa turnpike. It's in vernoa pa about 2 miles east of Pittsburg yay I'm half way home now.

Making good time even though I got stuck in a 75 min traffic jam on the Ohio turnpike becuase a vibe rear ended a tractor trailer. Sad. somebody died in that accident airbags didn't deploy but the roof was opened like a sardeen can

[Oldsman]

Ok. just a little update for now. We are home!

Obviously Oldsnut is home.
Redog is half way home per his post.
CrazyTaxi is in northern illinios
One nut is at his destination in Illinois.
Strydr ( or however you spell it) just split from us so just a few hours from home.
Smurf & That01Olds are in Indiana, Smurf had Tranny problems but are on the road again.
mfuller is in northern illinios... so pretty close to his destination or there already.

Haven't heard from Will2K, Zol and/or Malibu. So we can't update. We will get settled in and get pics and information up.

Old's Wife

[WiLL2k]

I'm home... Got off the highway about 4:45 (an hour ago)... Ohio turnpike slowed to a crawl a couple times and I stopped for lunch... made a couple stops after getting into town... good trip, no problems

[zoL]

17 hours later with 3 of those being at a random rest stop in Ohio (don't try and take six Five-Hour Energy's at once, you'll be in serious pain for hours :(), I'm back...

[Malibu369258]

Well brother and I made it to Lincoln NE. Only 6.5 hours left tomorrow. Having problems with the A/C. Blowing hot air even with the fans off...

[Old's Wife]

Well before we finish getting unpacked and everything.

It was another successful ASS. We would like to thank everyone for coming out, it was a great time!!! A big thanks goes out to Scot's parents for the cook out, Ken & Andy for all their help and support.

We had a really good time and enjoyed ASS '10. We have a few new members that made it out and it was really great meeting you and we hope you will come back again. It was really great to see everyone. A special thanks to Smurf & his family who made a 780 mile trip to support the event, even with no Alero.

Ok... here is my mission...... I want to pass this on to everyone. We have been doing this show for 7 years now and just once I would love to see how many Alero's we can get, my goal is between 30-40. I think that would just be the highlight to the this community and to all those who you spend a great deal of time with it. So make plans now.... pass the word on, start saving.... and give suggestions on how we can get this done for 2011. Oldsman will post up the dates as soon as they are set in order to give everyone plenty of time to prepare.

We have a ton of members new and old that haven't been ever or in a while.... Please come out for 2011.


Thank you so much much to everyone!

Old's Wife

Old's Wife

[Old's Wife]

Ok update on travels:

Smuff & That01 are 90 miles away from KY, still have transmission problems but they think they have it licked for now. They think it is the transmission line corroded, so they are just sticking with one speed and should be fine.

and we know that Malibu is pulled over for the night.

[Crazytaxi37]

I and da wife are home now. Safe and sound. Made good time on our new route. Thanks to Scot, Mo, Andy, Ken, and Jim and Jan. Great to see everyone. Had a great time.

[Crazytaxi37]

PS.... posting more pics in the pic thread

[Malibu369258]

Getting hail in Lincoln at the moment, some areas reporting BASEBALL size hail! Not as big of hail in my area but still big enough for me to park the car under cover by Sonic... Will have pics of my parking skills when I get home.

[Vic28]

[Oldsman]

[JLw7123]

[Malibu369258]

Make an insurance claim ... If you have full coverage (comprehensive) then it is covered.

[NoSweat83]

Just got home myself... Its was a great time seeing everyone's cars but, meeting the owners was even better. Thanks for all the effort that goes into this event, you know its appreciated.

[Malibu369258]

Just liability... got a few guys stopping by later today to give me estimates.

Anyways, glad everyone made it home safe.

[PappaSmurf]

Okay- the stories are going to be forth coming shortly. Any about me are untrue and made up!!!

Old's wife

Ma'am, this is onstar; we have detected that any and ALL stories are true and accurate!
.

. And also that you airbags arer STILL deployed do you require assistance?

HAHAHA
-Smurf-

[Old's Wife]

LMAO

[PappaSmurf]

I want it posted that without the help of everyone that donated to the Smurfs ASS fund (hahahahaha), it would have not been possible to attend this year and have a great time.
Also, I want it ESPECIALLY noted that without the help of that01olds and his dad, my return trip would have not been possible! I want it known that a first year attendee MADE SURE that a veteran a-mod'er made it home safely!
I believe that says A LOT for SOME of the new members we have in this family!
I want to personally thank Austin and his dad (or pop, as I called him all weekend) for following the "no man left behind" theory we ASS attendees try to follow.
So without further ado, thank you Austin and pop, for EVERYTHING you did to make sure that my family and I got home safely!
Also, pop, again I am sorry for making you late for work today!
-Smurf-

[cherrington17]

glad to know this year went off without a hitch, everyone had fun and with minimal car issues.

job well done everyone.

[PappaSmurf]

Things I learned at ASS '10 will be started and posted sometime tonight after I get off work.

double post

[bigdaddyD]

so i figured out what was wrong with my alero, it turns out its the left IP fuse box that went bad, its going to cost $275 for parts and labor. the parts been ordered, shipping from chicago, should arrive tuesday arround noon, and put in that nite. so i will hopefully have my car back on wednesday morning. thanks for your guys help at trying to figure out what the problem was, just wish i could have brought it to the show, but the malibu came in handy for scotts dad who got a steal at the swap meet.

[That01Olds]

-Smurf-

Your more than welcome man. It is like you said we are a family and family does not leave other family behind. Plus there was no way that I was going to get home and you weren't. I just would not let that happen. So I'm glad you guys finally did make it home safely and please do yourself a favor and get rid of that POS Ford lol. Seriously I have never seen more problems out of one car in a single trip.
