I guess this fits in the Alero Appearance category, as they appear everywhere I go.

Am I the only one that notices Aleros around literally every corner?

I see five in driveways on my way to school every morning.

I guess the fun part is making yours standout, yeah?

Yes alero's are everywhere. ranging from grandmas to a teenage chicks first car driving them and everything inbetween. I got a lot of crap for mine back in the day but I had turned it into something I loved and that was clearly defined from every other alero that is indeed on every corner. none the less I still loved it and hope to get one in the future.

I wish I lived where you guys live, because I barely see Oldsmobiles in my metro area. It's easier to find an Olds in DC or MD than in Northern VA. IDK why, but that is the fact of life here in the DC area. They love imports here sadly.

When I first started driving mine, I started noticing them everywhere. One with the same color and interior pulled in next to me at 7-11. We both said "nice car" to each other.

There's a ton around Cincinnati as well. I have even seen about 5 different final 500''s driving around town over the years.

I've seen a lot in my area. there is only one that really stands out with custom paint, dropped like 3 or 4 inches, a nice set of rims but a stupid park bench as the spoiler. so i assume he's a ricer. If i see him again I'll snag a pic. other than that i think mine is pretty nice for what i did to stand out from every other alero around here.

You know that's the truth. I drag on the paved roads around my town sometimes and my car isn't dropped.

If he can even get the floor jack to go under it. I've had issues like that at the junkyard with cars that have no tires. I have to use the jack in the trunk, lift it up from the suspension, then get anotehr jack to finish lifting it. It's really not fun!

Anyways, I'm pretty sure he keeps a set of plywood ramps in his car to go over stuff... like so

What's a gold package? And what do the sub models stand for too, curious
For example mines a GL

gold packages was "a gold emblem, gold letters" and some other chenanigans.

What exactly GL means, I have no clue. Maybe Wiki knows something about the GM nomenclatur

Edit:
These are trim levels. Here are some examples I googled up and took out of context:

trim selections: GL, GLS, and GLX.

three trim levels -- SE, SE Sport and SLE

available in 5 trims, ranging from the SE to the SLE Convertible.

Their origins go back to the once universal terms Grand Touring, Deluxe, Grande Luxe and Sports/Special, since abbreviated to GT, DL, GL, GLX, GLS, SS and so on. They will vary from one manufacturer to another.

somebody at my high school, along with me, owns an alero. Pretty sure i've done the most work to mine (which isn't a lot) around these parts . One of my buddies said he was looking at an alero to get once he gets his license.

aleros are pretty limited in my area. pretty sure there's only 7-10 in the township that are actually on the road.

There are tons of alero's on my campus as well. I see lot of sedans but not many coupes. I also saw a silver one today with silver to black faded tint. As usual I got creepy and pulled up beside them then passed them. I get some weird looks driving a modded alero around here... I dont think a lot of people even give enough of a crap to notice its the same car.

I was driving and saw another Final 500 alero going down the road. Unfortunately it was in an accident at some point as it had some front end damage that was un-repaired.

When i got my first alero there was only about 3 in my town (mine included)... when i got into modding it within a year there was over 20... besides my modded cars there's one other one that's been riced out and the others are stock in various conditions from mint to death traps!
I still have to finish mine to unveil it again hopefully by next summer at this point
