Insert clever title here/Project DD
Well, everyone's favorite idiot is back!, I'm not new obviously but i dunno where else to put this so i don't unleash the wrath of the mods 
Guess i missed this little piece of heaven, looks pretty dead now though, glad to see Redog is still here, and Sleepy's car is still sexy af.
Got another project on top of all my others. 2001 Galaxy Silver Metallic Coupe. 2.4L, auto. Loaded with pretty much every option. Paid 1500 For it. Rotted as usual. All the common problems, Window motors, both bearings are shot, i just redid the whole cooling system and the A/C won't hold a charge if its life depended on it. All in all car is pretty good shape, leather is worn, just over 150,000 miles. Wanna make it a DD, got another racecar project up my sleeve.
I want better swaybars, drop it a little, KYB AGX struts, Tint, some form of a quiet exhaust that won't make it sound like a Honda on steroids. Gonna attempt to find a Razzi wing and throw on some universal mud flaps. maybe do the gauge cluster. Right now the suspension is terrifying and the car vibrates worse than what was in Malory Archers desk. I already redid the entire exhaust and cooling system. I leak every fluid known to man and really have no intention on fixing any of it. Project DD is on it's way. Next up, fix the rust!
Obligatory photos of Alero being the usual self and future race car thing

Sthap! That car is so gorgeous! And it does seem like the right one! That's a good price too!
Also, any way a mod could help me change my awful username?

Welcome back Nate! Not much has changed since you've been gone. Other than like you said the site isn't nearly as active as it used to be, but sleepy is still a post whore so there's that lol.
I'm rocking a 2014 Miata and a 2005 Mazda6 S wagon as my DD these days and Scot is in the process of getting his OSV replica. There's not much else going on though. At least not that I can remember at the moment. Someone else can feel free to chime in if I'm forgetting anything important that's happened recently.

Dang lol. I'm good with the 2 I've got for right now. I couldn't imagine taking care of 6, but I guess if family is driving some of them and a couple are off the road, it's not so bad. Would one of those S-Series happen to be the same one that had 500k+ miles on it?

Nah, the 99 has 378k. The 00 has 170. Not too bad. The 99 runs but burns so much oil it hardly idles. 00 was a free car that my friend passed along to me, i put some work into and now it's my SO's DD.

I wonder if they're still for sale. After beating up my FiST and getting back into the 'ho to go to work I feel the INSANE body roll. I need to tighten that right up

Ahhh gotcha. I was hoping one of them was still the one that you used to have that had like 500k+ miles on it. Would've been cool to see if it was still running and how close it was to 1 million miles now.
