It was kinda snowing here today, but not sticking. I love the snow. Perfect for picture taking! :)

[03Sleepr]

I'm jealous...the only time I've seen snow recently is over thanksgiving break, and I was building a barn so snow wasnt a good thing

[sleepyalero]

cavalier - i know it is great for picture taking i love it! but only for a certain amount of time.

03sleepr - dont be jealous lol i mean its cool but when you gotta deal with it for about 4 months it gets old. :p expecially because i hate driving my car when there is salt all over the roads.

[tw0123]

ahhh more snow... this morning here is was pouring rain when i left for work.... when i came home 5 hrs later there was 8" with a nice layer of ice under from the morning rain...

[Redog]

Snowed a bit here on Thanksgiving day, not much. To make a decent snowball to needed to take the snow off about 5 cars ;)

Car looks good, lose the gay retarded Audi wanna be lights and it will look great ;)

IMHO, I even think they look retarded on Audis

[sleepyalero]

hahaha i might i havent decided yet. i need more responses on em. and the only reason they are there is because i hit a raccoon and broke my driver fog light, the hole where it mounts is stripped to so it doesnt hold and those were just to replace it cause i dont have fog lights now.

i appreciate the honest opinion though. :)

[Fuzzyspudkiss]

It snowed here and stuck as well!! I wish I could have taken my Alero out for pictures as well but I had class all day :(

[sleepyalero]

^^ i would have taken a "bathroom break" gone outside, park the car somewhere and take some pictures haha.

[03Sleepr]

or just look at your phone go "oh sh!t, Grandma!!" and run out of the room...

[JLw7123]

we had our first dusting of snow up here about a week ago.

[sleepyalero]

or just look at your phone go "oh sh!t, Grandma!!" and run out of the room...

hahaha thats awesome!


seems like indiana weather is running behind. :p im not complaining though!

[Philbar71]

Nice pics! What temp low beam HIDs do you have?

[sleepyalero]

thanks phil!

they aren't actually HID's. i always hear people having problems with there HID kits, so i just got HID look bulbs. i love em, they are 5900k superwhite but look blue..

got the low and high beam bulbs together (5900k) for 14$ on ebay! :)

[03Sleepr]

are they bright? I'd like to switch over to those if they're as bright/brighter than stock (not sure what brand I have in now)

edit: on a side note your tails drive me crazy, not sure if its just that pic..but the outside is lighter than the inside...I do love how you have the reverse light showing though

[whiterider00]

kinda liking the leds in the front. also liking the tails and exhaust. hate those wheels tho.

[sleepyalero]

03sleepr - yeah they are bright i like em. i dont have problems with em. only thing is when roads are wet its hard to see the light reflects off water but im used to it.

yeah i know the outside is a bit lighter.. but if it was as dark as the inside i would get rearended. if i changed the angle a bit you wouldnt have noticed..

i didnt notice in on my phone till i posted the pic up on here. but i saw it was lighter a week after i did it. you can only tell when you are close to it tho.

whiterider - thanks on the likes! and the wheels ehh they are okay looking to get new ones at some point when i have the money, those are just what my uncle got put on when i bought the car off of him.

i want black with a chrome lip or blue lip, cause im going for a black and blue theme..

intake, 3400sfi, calipers, spark wires, headlight bulbs, all blue.

[sleepyalero]

the difference is not as bad as how the picture shows, they look good and pretty identical in person.

[Philbar71]

Is that a hole in your bumper...?

[sleepyalero]

Yeah mom had to use my car one day and backed into a truck hitch... :( no one is driving my car now! Only me. But I plan on getting it fixed sooner or later.

[rkl84]

Pics look great!! We had flurries, but nothing that stuck. Also, not nearly as much as what you got. I really like the LED's where the fog lights go, it's looks awesome! Now I can't wait for snow and to shoot some pics. Keep up the good work!

[Fuzzyspudkiss]

whiterider - thanks on the likes! and the wheels ehh they are okay looking to get new ones at some point when i have the money, those are just what my uncle got put on when i bought the car off of him.

If you do get new rims, let me know if you want to sell your old ones. i think they would look great on my Alero, and I live close by so no shipping :)

[kwhauck]

That's it? It has been a really dry winter but we've still gotten several 6" snows here already

[jhubbz]

Just got some today for the first time in Ann Arbor...

http://i54.tinypic.com/qnwimf.jpg

[sleepyalero]

rkl84 - thanks i appreciate it!

fuzzy - yeah i might sell them, the clear coat is coming off of them though cause of salt and stuff being used through winters, (uncle dented to stock rims hit a pot hole had no choice to get new rims) but they still clean up pretty nice. i might use them just as a winter set once i get new ones, not sure yet though but i will let you know!

kwhauck - yeah i know its not much at all haha.

jhubbz - looks like you didnt get much snow either. :p

[Lucalare]

You could always have them re-cleared and they'd be good as new, or pretty close.

[sleepyalero]

the tail lights?

[That01Olds]

Pics look great man. I too may think of getting some of those 5900K bulbs for the Intrigue lol. It would be nice to have something brighter than the bulbs I have now.

[sleepyalero]

yeah i love them haha so worth 14$ to me!

[03Sleepr]

is this what you bought?
they are 9005 and 9006

[sleepyalero]

that link made my computer freak out hahaha, ill post a link cause i cant look at it.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/9005-9006-SUPERWHITE-XENON-HID-HEADLIGHT-BULB-5900K-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQfitsZModelQ3aAleroQQhashZitem2a 08678784QQitemZ180529629060QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTru ckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_1522wt_903

there you go, there are both low and high beam for 15.95$ with 4$ ship cost.

try to find free shipping ones though to save some cash. ;)

i typed in "alero headlight bulbs" make sure you get the ones that look like the ones in the link above and say 5900k in the picture! those are the ones i have.

[03Sleepr]

thanks, I just bought some...should be here within 3-4 days!

[sleepyalero]

right on man! you should like em. i love mine, cheaper then stock bulbs i think atleast at an autoparts store and look cooler. :)

I've had mine for probably about 8-9 months now and havent had to replace em yet too.

[That01Olds]

Thanks for posting the link man. I will probably be getting some soon too lol.

[sleepyalero]

no problem! :D

[Stickybuddz420]

Just got some today for the first time in Ann Arbor...

http://i54.tinypic.com/qnwimf.jpg

I drove thru Ann Arbor on the 30th to d-town to get my grandma, wasn't even thinkin that u lived there, man ur only half hour from me, you gotta come to our drift days in BC, me and a friend with a blacked out 2dr alero have some real nice smooth circles around here to run, gotta get ahold of me when u got a few free days.

[[ion] C2]

^What, snow drifting? I'm a pro. :)

[Stickybuddz420]

No ion, we put roadkill under our tires and that worked better than snow Lulz j/p but yeah we like to think we are pretty good at it aswell, we all have our run offs but its into a fairly safe field with not many big rocks.

[sleepyalero]

Haha sounds like fun guys

03sleepr - lights come in yet?

[sleepyalero]

Edit double post

[03Sleepr]

Haha sounds like fun guys

03sleepr - lights come in yet?

not sure, I will be home later today to see if they were delivered yesterday...but I doubt it

[cavaliers60]

Snowed last night. Was very light, but we got about an inch on the ground. Was nice waking up to it even though it didn't last.

[alero_bmxer]

first real snow we have had all year and its starting to really come down. and this is the first time since 1975 that the bee has felt snow or and kind of water for that matter.

[cavaliers60]

love the winter steelies. :thumb: :lol:

Sounds good to me! I'm always kind of weary about drifting cuz I HATE rock chips or even the sound of gravel getting kicked up, but yea we should get together sometime.... not like a date or anything.... thats gay...

lol all joking aside, send me a pm and we'll figure somethin out

[sleepyalero]

Best of luck sleepr!

Yeah we got about 3 or So inches the other night. I was watching the news and one part of Indiana got 6.1 inches!

[sleepyalero]

Stupid cell phone likes to double post today >:(

[alero_bmxer]

love the winter steelies. :thumb: :lol:

haha hey they were free with brand new blizzak's so im not complaining. and the bee just shouldn't even be out there... poor thing

[alero_bmxer]

i want in on this shiz! im like half an hour from Ann Arbor and would love to meet up with some other ppl

[JLw7123]

we are supposed to get a couple of inches at my college in portland, Maine

[sleepyalero]

i like the bee bmxer!

[alero_bmxer]

i like the bee bmxer!

thanks! its mine one day already makin payments on it lol :coolio:

[Stickybuddz420]

Yeah u don't ave to worry about rocks on the road here, we don't travel dirt roads because they lead to small townships whit shat roads n no point going, we have a lot of vacant local property with great asphalt that gets a perfect ice sheen on it that's a true test of skill when attempted at the right time. And obviously i have a family but they are not always here (son & lady ) so i do get my time to go have some fun. Always obey local speed laws even if ours are 55mph on a 1 mile VERY residential road with average 300Ft between homes....Silly people....

[lonnie]

Hey I like those lights (fog lights)...is there a post in here about those...wanted to know how much they produce, and if it is a pain to do it?

[sleepyalero]

bmxer - when you get it put a rockcrusher in it and a big blower coming out of the hood!

ive always wanted a 68 charger r/t to restore.

Lonnie - heres the deal. i have mesh where the old fog lights used to be. i cut off the sockets for the fogs so it just left wire. (if i need i can reconnect them at anytime)

i got the leds from autozone. for 15$ just wired em to my stock fog light wiring. and then ran the wire thru the mesh and the back of the led strips come with 3M tape. just stuck it on the front of the mesh. :p

did this cause fog lights were/are pretty expensive, plus i like the way it look at dusk with just fog lights (leds) and parking lights on.

haha it already has a 500 stroker in it with the triple deuces. last summer was the fastest it ever ran 11.20

[cavaliers60]

Yeah mom had to use my car one day and backed into a truck hitch... :( no one is driving my car now! Only me. But I plan on getting it fixed sooner or later.

welcome to the club...... I had someone back into my car and this happened...

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c26/cavaliers60/May%20Car/CorbinRay006.jpg

[03Sleepr]

seems like people love to back into aleros...within the first week I had mine someone backed into it...only pulled a little clear off the bumper and scuffed the paint

[sleepyalero]

bmxer - dang thats nice i want one. :p

cavaliers - hey we're twins lol mines a little smaller then yours though. :( i dont like seeing a hole in my bumper... but unfortunately its there..

sleepr - i agree people do like backing into them lol and you lucked out on joining our club. haha :D

lonnie - ALSO they are just for looks really they do not produce enough light to really use as foglights.. i just wanted to replace it with something. they shine literally about 6 inches to a foot in front of the car.

[Stickybuddz420]

I've owned a 97' Dodge Stratus, a 96' Ford Taurus, a 90' Lincoln Town Car, and now own a 95' Pontiac Trans Am, and a 04' Alero and I have NEVER had anyone hit my car or have I hit anything, well 1 reverse into a light post but that was in the big ass Taurus. I am really surprised how well people actually treat their cars and other peoples around here. But DAM that's a nice hitch hit.

[sleepyalero]

i agree. :p

[03Sleepr]

lights came in today, but I'm going to wait until my chrome turn signals come in so I can clear my corners at the same time...hopefully later this week, like tomorrow or so

[sleepyalero]

right on man! cant wait to hear what you think of them. :)

[lonnie]

When you zoom in like that it makes it look worse.

[sleepyalero]

do what?? ^^^

[lonnie]

I didn't say do anything...I was talking to cavaliers60

[sleepyalero]

oh okay haha last i looked at that comment i was really confused but now that i read it again i get it. :p

[FlyingSpoon]

We don't have any snow here yet, but I did find a big pile behind the local hockey arena.
Merry Christmas!

http://i56.tinypic.com/14959pi.jpg

[robalero]

im surprised no1 mentioned this but your tire is on backwards

[sleepyalero]

Merry Christmas to you too nice pic, and if you are correct rob about his tire.. nice eyes. :p i can't even tell.

[robalero]

actually sleepy I was talking about yours lol

[sleepyalero]

Oh no all my tires on on right lol

[robalero]

you sure? the directional of the tire doesn't look right on your first pic and you compare it to the one it shows of the rear and their both facing the opposite ways

[That01Olds]

We got some snow and freezing rain here just in time to have a white Christmas. So I'm happy lol.

[sleepyalero]

Yeah I'm positive lol :)

Nice glad u got some!

[JLw7123]

we are going to get 12-20 inches of snow with blizzard conditions so it should be fun.

[sleepyalero]

Damn That does sound fun we don't have enough snow here to pull out the snowmobiles

[robalero]

yup not even here either for them im happy that there isn't but I know its gonna come and hit hard when it does

[kwhauck]

no snow here, but we did get a solid 1/4" of ice thanks to freezing rain the other day, every road was shut down within 200miles.

[sleepyalero]

Dang no ice here thank God :)

[Tuse31]

In MinneSNOWta, we've been getting just hammered with snow. One night it even rained and left the roads with a nice layer of solid ice on them. I felt like I was driving a Zamboni. Haha. The current totals around where I live are about 19 inches on the ground still. In the southern region of Minnesota, some areas are as high as 36 inches still on the ground. We've had a couple snow emergencies already and the local news suggests another 7"-14" inches over New Years...

[lonnie]

It's snowing its ass off here...and it hasn't stopped...up to about 8 to 9 inches so far.

[sleepyalero]

You guys are getting hit pretty hard unlike me lol

[lonnie]

We are still getting hit hard.

[jhubbz]

nothing in southeast michigan yet.....

[Tuse31]

Yeah it's pretty brutal here. They're having to transport loads of snow to dumping areas because there isn't any room on the sides of the freeways to put it all. Haha

[kwhauck]

Denver tried that one year by piling it in the stadium parking lots, when it wasn't melted by June for the monster rv and trailer show they were screwed!! They had to bring in some monster propane ice melting trailers and load all the snow up again and melt it in the trailers....

[sleepyalero]

Wow they get crazy with it I've never heard that before

[JLw7123]

we got about 20 inches with 60MPH winds and we lost power.

[kwhauck]

sunny and 45 here......oh yeah!!

[JLw7123]

wow that is nice it is 15 here feeling like 5 below

[frankie257]

we just got 30in. here last night and the wind is not making any better

[sleepyalero]

Dang Its gonna be 50 here by end of the week!
