Laugh all you want, you should know more than anybody that people say they are coming out, then back out at the last minute

Really, it's kinda sad when you think about it. A car that was last built 17 years ago, still gets 2 to 3 times the cars than the Alero show got in 2004

Depends what that 17 year old car is... If we're talking about a 96 Impala SS, of course it's going to get more attention since it's a muscle car. The Alero was never anyting special and that's the saddest part of this. It's the last Oldsmobile ever to be made and yet it's seen as so mundane that when the 1999 Alero is 20 years old, an Alero is going to be a rare sight.

My point is that it's hard to be passionate about a compact FWD car, even if it is anything special. Ask the W body guys about that, the Turbo Grand Prix and the Cutlass Supreme Convertible were limited edition runs like the 94-96 Impala SS, but they'll never command the money nor have the community that the Impala SS enjoys.

I wasnt saying that he had to go...he was complaining about not having anyone close enough to meet i was giving ways to get there...as for me going i have to do an internship to complete my degree, haveny found any good ones up that way, and being a recreation major there is a reasonable chance that i will be required to work

Always nice to hang with people you bs a lot with. Though if I' am flying somewhere on vacation no offense but it isn't going to be Michigan /snicker.

Aleros aren't exactly as popular as other cars..

You'd be complaining too if you had to drive or fly 2,200 miles lol. Hell I can't even afford to see the Packers you think I' am going to make that trip to hang out with some forum guys nice as you all are? YOU'RE CRAZY

We had 2 guys come out from Cali, 1 from Texas and a couple from Kansas a few years back ago and they had a blast.

[negolien]

LOL nice glad they had a good time. Did they drive out?

[Redog]

Yup they drove. 44 hour drive time IIRC.

My g/f wants to take the drive out, but I didn't take vacation time that week this year.

With as screwed up as Homecoming has been the past few years, If I feel the 330 in the Delta could make such a trip, I would cruise out in that and park next to you guys at homecoming, although that car was made in Wilmington, DE

[sleepyalero]

Kenny come out damn it.

Ill be happy to see people still coming out.

[Redog]

LOL I should!

I've only put 3100 miles on the car since March 2013

[sleepyalero]

All more reason to go.

is there at least some decent highway driving in there, city only and too low of mileage isn't that good on a car when things don't get heated properly and regular circulation of lubricants

[tw0123]

I've only put 3000km on mine in the last 5 years. Didn't help when you have a blown motor for 2 years and then do a complete overhaul a year later lol!

[Redog]

Set up a decent group pic while you're out there. It will be Alero of the month for July and there will be no voting on it. Just like in years past

[sleepyalero]

You need to man up and go!

[Redog]

Working dude!!

Big trip to Disney next year so that might be out too.

Was talking to the gf last night about it, and she's for the trip. Plus after 10 years of going out there, I know how to do the trip CHEAP!! I would like to bring the Delta like I said, but those MI highways, IDK if the Delta could handle those sppeds for that long. Might be me handling those speeds for that long.

Would be nice to cruise out with a "Classic Car" tag on the car in 2015
