where do you work where you must be there solidly every day of the week all year?

its called owning your own restaurant where you are one of 2 employees... if i take time off, it means closing shop and losing customers... which does not pay the bills for either house or the restaurant... that is where i work where i have to be there all the time... but on the plus side, i do get stat holidays off since we close on those days... too bad fathers day isn't considered one...

That is a good reason. You have to pay the bills.
I would love to go to ASS, but I make my money during the summer. Could I get the days off? Probably, but during the middle of the season there is no way in hell I would miss the chance to go out on fires. I make my money in the summer so I don't have to in the winter.......

If I don't go it won't be because of the car,it will be because I need to work or I decide that I don't want to drive that far especially alone...I just don't want everybody to freak out about how trashed my car is if I do come because most of it was done before I got it...It needs new dash,headliner,door panels,some other trim panels,front bumper. The back bumper at least needs some work and there is a decent sized dent on the front passenger side fender needs fixed. The only stuff that is there because of me is paint scuff on the front drivers side from messing on the snow/ice at like 5 mph and sliding up against a wooden fence

but then I will have all the body work done and probably the interior redone to. my biggest concern is paint. it might be rolling around in a few different colors and some primer for a while.

Again, you NEED to see the pic of Marc's car.
Think about it, a Silver Alero, with part of the front bumper that looks like Super Pollygrip, 3 rims and one compact spare, Interior painted with Behr interior latex, and done with foam brushes.
Yeah it was BAD

I might just have to try and top that :haha: no matter what I'll try and come. either way its not moving very far until I get my lowering springs and sway bars so that I can get them put on and realigned. so as long as jawa ships them and the swar bars come though I'll try and make it. I'm afraid im going to have to be one of those guys with loud exhaust on half painted and half primer and bondo car. its going to look like it should be in a show room when im done though. then I'll have to come back for ass 2013 and take all your trophies :lol:

SMH.....what a shame. I'm still driving around with my front bumper smashed....need to get a new bumper cover, driver side fog, driver side front half of the wheel liner. Thats just 1 of Ruby's flaws...:lol: Dings along the top half of the door (where its curved)....a lot of them on the passenger side of the car....some on the driver side too....this is from when my mom had it and she used to park under a bridge....i think pebbles would come down...or people hitting it with their door but i doubt that...idk...
I also have clear coat peeling on my passenger side fender/front door....due to half assed body work (i didnt do it!!! seriously...lol).
Also the engine has 150k on it and i'm gonna be dropping in the 3500 when shes done.
You're gonna give up after 1 little accident. Fix the car up and drive it like that. That body kit you had on was rice anyways.....its better that its all smashed up :P But at the end of the day its your decision....go buy a honda....you seem like the kinda guy who would really dig that! yeaaaaa....VTEC!!!!!:awesome:

well what you want rwd would be pointless could not drive it in winter unless you buy studded snow tire. you want good gas mileage so a v8 is out of the question how about a Subaru WRX or impreza rs 2.5 or legacy GT probably the best sounding 4cyl out there and have the best AWD system out there.

im actually currently looking a 2010 chevy cruze that is on a local lot. my mom has one I would drive it over my alero any day. I fell in love with the car when my mom and I took it for a test drive. even when I have to pull it out the garage I take it around the block sometimes just to get to drive it. I like it just how it sits completely stock and it gets amazing gas millage < the 2 biggest things im looking for in a new car...

No, you paid already so you showed some interest in coming.
Rent a car, borrow a car, if you have 2 cars, bring the other car. If you don't bring an Alero, you just cannot show it, but we all are car guys, so it will get some interest.
When my ex wife and I were still together, she drove her Nissan Altmia with Adam in the back, and I drove the Alero. The Altima got some attention from the ASS goers, but maybe some negitive attention from the Michigan people in the area (being a Japanese car and all)

If it is what you like go for it but I still say that a 5 speed alero is a much better car for less money.

No, you paid already so you showed some interest in coming.
Rent a car, borrow a car, if you have 2 cars, bring the other car. If you don't bring an Alero, you just cannot show it, but we all are car guys, so it will get some interest.
When my ex wife and I were still together, she drove her Nissan Altmia with Adam in the back, and I drove the Alero. The Altima got some attention from the ASS goers, but maybe some negitive attention from the Michigan people in the area (being a Japanese car and all)
He is to young to rent a car you need to be 21 to rent a car even then u will pay a fee if you are under 25. Except for employees that are under 25. Also renting from the airport will be more money than renting from the same company off of airport property because u have to pay airport taxes when renting a car from an airport. Jut fyi if anybody ever needs to rent a car.

I'v never had a complaint with the dodge vehicals my family has owned. the lower end status I wont even look at, the rt model has a lot more going for it. still, I'v only riden in them before, never drove so I have no idea if thats really want or not. as for an alero, I decided I dont want another n-body.

(in tommy boy voice when he gets mad) PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T TURN THIS INTO A DODGE CONVERSATION.
Let him get that Dodge junk...RT's got a little better reviews than the regular ones but let him go get what he wants. I could tell after his first accident that he didn't want the Alero....so why not drive it into a pole? :lol: Like 03gold said in the other thread....take some defensive driving courses. I know they have helped me....(they should have, i've been to like 5 of them lol) Next time don't be a VAG and swerve off the road.... don't wanna ruin the Stratus :awesome:
Papa Rad17
03-20-2012, 02:05 AM
I was trying to be defensive by not hitting him when he moved into my lane, when I decided the ditch was better then oncoming traffic, when I made the pole hit on my side the car and not my friends. the past winter I spent hours on the ice learning how my car handled, that came in handy when the silver accord was looming in my windshield with my car skidding sideways across the road. yes, i done fucked up and I'm perfectly happy to take crap for that and for looking at another car different then what everyone else likes. My friend and I are lucky to be alive, I'm just glad that no other people were hurt due my stupidity but I did everything in my power at the time try and the save the car as well anyone put in harms way.

Let him get the car he want not a car that most people on here want him to get like he said he does not want another n body. Saying that he crashed his alero on purpose come on man. He could have been seriously injured. The R/T models are not that bad at all. My buddy has the Dodge avenger R/T mzodel and it is fast as hell 283 HP and awd. The alero is a nice car but there a better and ne'er cars out there other than an n body. My alero is probably going to be my last n body also.

If it was a newer avenger I would take it...dodge has stepped up quality quite a bit since the bailout, it is the older ones that I have an issue with...I was saying that a 5-speed alero was a better option IMO than a stratus, however there are still cars that are better than the alero i would agree.

Well the newer avenger was the Stratus's replacedment. But the rt is no bad 1.7l v6 with 200 HP. But I would never by a Dodge unless it was a cummins pickup or a Jeep. Cherokee. Srt8.

correct. the 2001 status r/t comes with a turbo 2.4, Im looking into it or one of the newer with a 3.0 v6. Im also looking at other cars to, I need to actual drive them before I could attempt getting anything. the status has always just kinda caught my eye as a nice car. I really dont want to go import... I also tried looking for a G5 but cant find any.

The 2.4 Turbo Stratus was only made in Mexico sadly. That is the same engine they used in the neon srt4 and the pt crusier gt. Why not get a neon srt4 they are not bad cars 230hp 250flbs tq and with little money u can make them real fast. You could also get a Subaru impreza rs 2.5 they are in ur price and there are a ton of subaru forums so u could learn about them and the aftermarket field for Subaru s is endless.

I never said he crashed it on purpose...please dont put words in my mouth. I think its pretty easy to see what i was saying. You don't FLY OFF THE ROAD when someone swerves a little bit....i said i dont think the guy was trying to run you off the road cause thats pretty messed up....he's trying to be a hot shot in alero passing on the right....be patient....there shouldn't be another car in the oncoming lane if your passing on the left....sounds like he's a shitty driver. YOU MAKE SURE the other lane is clear then pass....you dont be a jack ass and try to pass someone on the other side when there's a car coming the other way. He should have laid on his brakes and got back behind him.
We know you don't want another nbody....you fuckin post about every other car on here except the alero. Go buy your subaru and join one of their forums so you can talk to them about how great they are. Meanwhile i (along with many other members) will stick with our aleros and be DIFFERENT. Not buy a POS dodge that alero has a turbo on it and will probably need a new tranny in 20k. Of course there are better and nicer cars out there than an Alero (way to state the obvious), BUT THIS IS AN ALERO SITE.....of course were going to try and talk him into getting another one....omg...people are ridiculous....we know he's not going to change his mind from what people have to say on here....he will make his own decisions. A lot of members on here (me being one of them) don't like seeing people getting other cars....thats one less alero on the site....and one less alero that could potentially come to ASS. Unlike you JLW, we love our Aleros and we wanna continue modding them and being different.

Well I have had 2 aleros when I get my Subaru I am still going to keep my alero and use it as a summer cruiser. I had an alero for my first car so I still have a little soft spot for the aler and I always will.

Billy, I know what you were saying, I didnt just jerk the car off the road, I'm not THAT much of an idiot. the road in the area this happened was thin to begin with and the drop of from the pavement to gravel on the side was a lot more then realized. yes, the lane was clear when I passed, again im not THAT stupid. the car that was coming came over a hill as I was passing the guy, at that point there was still plenty of room to get around his w/o accelerating any more (hence more defensive driving waiting until I could actually see far enough ahead to pass). and yes, I know its an ALERO site, I love my alero to. but theres no reason to go monkey stomp someone every time they say they want a different car.

Why is there only 6 cars reg'ed?
3 weeks after ASS, somebody, within an hour of Lansing, will post up "You dudes, big meet at my house, yo!!" when you could have just came out to ASS a few weeks earlier and had fun
A few excuses for not comming, and rebutals to each one
I don't have enough time to plan for time off etc: It's the same weekend every year. You are told about it 364 days in advance, how much more time do you need?
I don't have enough money: Kinda goes hand and hand with the time thing, but you can share a room with others to drop the cost of a room, bring a buddy to drop the price of filling up, etc
It's too far away: Fallout boy (Juillan) came last year from Germany. He spent the day before at my house. Total miles travled 9100. Al Heinck and another guy (can't remember his name) drove from LA, 2650 miles, 44 hours, ONE WAY
I'm def comming next year: Bullshit, only one person said that and followed through with it
My car isn't show quailty: OK, so what. You don't have cleaners, sponges, buckets, water? Ion showed up one year with his front end all messed up, Marc's car looked like it was sponored by colgate with all the bondo holding his front end together.
I've been there before, but I don't have an Alero anymore: OK good one, but Marc came to ASS about 5 years or so, only brough his Alero to one
I won't know anybody: We are not much different in person than on the board. Grow a set.
I'll come if you move it to another weekend: OK then you can talk to OCA and have the date of Homecoming moved to another weekend. I'm sure you'll get a great response
It's fun, it's cheap, and it's not a hooker. Come on out and have fun ;)

I don't know if you've done long distances before, but it's not that bad. I've done the 14 hour trip three times. I tend to suffer from highway hypnosis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_hypnosis) though. So, I can't really speak healthily on the matter.

that is the reason i don't want to drive it on my own...i kind of go into auto-pilot and next thing i know i have covered a large distance and don't remember any of it... might be considered slightly unsafe...if i am in a group then i do ok but if there is not many people around i have a problem.
