(He did use parts from PNP, that I supplied, and didn't completely repaint everything so there are some chips where the body panel hit the trunk lid, but hey for not very much money we kept a perfectly good Alero out of the junk yard.)

Of course now that we got the '04 Final 500 I'm not sure what to do with the '00, we don't really need a second one.

And something I noticed but will have to verify, the '04 Final 500 drives significantly different, maybe it is because of fewer miles, i.e. less wear and tear, but the steering seems tighter and the suspension firmer. (And it sounds much nice, a more deep growl. I swear our '00 doesn't sound like that.)

does it run and drive? how much? I need a parts car, things im looking for
coupe, sunroof, spoilerless trunk, good hood, good headlights, good interior, preferred with 2.2. very interested, pm me some details if your looking to part with it. I have a friend wanting to drive it winter before I retire it if it is like it sounds. Let me know!
