Nothing to special. Just a few pics I took. Car still needs tails. (I stole these of fisdads car so I could have brake lights) and an alignment. But ive missed driving it so much. Its still tons of fun! And she already got 2 compliments when I went to the gas station. :lol:

I love driving my car. It sucks to have it stored away all winter. But that one day when you finally get to pull it out and drive it around.. oh the feeling is great. Well anyway here are the pics

Wheels kinda darken up far away with this cloudy 36* day. More will come once spring is around and the car is fully ready.

nice

would look really good as a 2-door with no spoiler I think

Yeah maybe so. But I dont plan on swapping to a 2 door.

I still prefer the old wheels. Maybe these will grow on me? I defiantly think that you now need some wider tires for starters. The black and polished silver on the old rims was a nicer combination IMO for an all black car. On the upside, not having the flashier wheels makes your fender stripes and your brakes pop a lot more. Just think... You could have already had your hood shipped, painted and installed with money leftover instead of those wheels! :haha:

I want to see more pics in better light though to see if the contrast between the grey and the black body stands out a bit more.

The old ones look really good too. I agree that the black and polished sliver was a good look for it being a all black car as well.

That's BS! I call BS in waiting! You have no excuse! Your car is back in one piece and you should be taking pictures! That is kind of what you do.

Yes he does.... the atmosphere, the residual salt from the previous snow, plus whatever else he comes up with.

02-15-2014, 04:41 PM
I do... havent found anyone to make me a new one :(

And it was 38 degree out. Roads were salt free and pretty dry. I had to take her out. Now she sits until spring!

Sleepy, I took mine out two nights ago since I finished the install of the intake and MAF finally, and did some tuning on it...lol Got the cam kit yesterday so I'm onto the next project in the coming weeks I guess. Mines been parked for three months and I'm going insane! Was amazing to get it out for a bit though, the diesel Jetta just isn't cutting it for me!!

He does come up with more excuses that anyone besides Cavalier60 and his promise to "make it next year" lol

Doesn't need leak fixed or alignment for more pics and the snow didn't stop you from getting her out once already! Quit making excuses before I change your username to cavalier_60

Get er done Tim!! And you don't have any real excuse... You have like 3 Aleros! No reason to be pimpin in the minivan! Lol

Lmao Ryan!!! Ask Nate to show you how buried my aleros are... can't even see them let alone get them on the road!! I kill myself every day walking past them to take the van... I'm hoping maybe Monday i can dig out the 5 speed but she slid halfway into the ditch and a 4' snowdrift is in my way...
