      Nice. Retrofitted headlights are definitely worth it.

      YOU CAN DO IT!!!....

      Or like I have to do. Buy a performance car. Do too much work to it, so you don't want to drive it on icy roads. Then buy another Aveo.

      Car has been reliable again now that I started driving it more (had battery issues when you only start it once a month), pick up is a little slower with the big wheels. But its still fun, rubs a little once in a while still, but way less than the old set up. I've also found that putting gas in it depends on the rubber flap they have on the pump. It only "works" if the flap is is smaller, and you have to hold the pump handle sort of sideways (60 degrees?) to miss the taillight, and get the flow I also pump a little slower. Not unbearable, just precautions to not mess up. it was worth it.

      So, I've been driving the car to car shows with a "for sale" sign in it. Need the money to pay for next year's project.
      I have had a lot of compliments, but selling a car at a car show, where almost everyone has a car already, is nearly impossible.

      Well, Unfortunate news... I traded in the AVEO.

      I think I got the highest trade in value ever offered for a 7 year old AVEO. (8 actually since the '17s are out)

      Picked up my new ride.. not what I was looking for or expecting, but it is what we needed for the family.

      3.0T S-line. Black on Black. Fully loaded.

      The Aveo wil probably be sold off at auction. Keep a look out for it popping up at dealerships near you.

      Shoulda posted a "for sale" ad here in the forum!

      You just traded in one of the most unique Aveos!

      Congrats on the new ride, though.
