lol welcome very nice car enjoy your stay here and ask away :D
Hey Mary! Welcome to the forums! I'm a non-modder and love my 04 Sedan just the way she is. Shes served me well so far and has 114,000 miles on her to date. I'm on my 3rd set of brakes, 3rd set of tires and my 2nd timing belt. I'm hoping to push her to 200,000 miles. I keep the oil changed every 3000 miles and change the trans fluid every 25000. I know I push it on the trans fluid but shes doing ok, and still shifts like new. Good luck with your Aveo and I love the color you picked!
I take it you got automatic? Manual transmission fluid that comes in the car is synthetic according to the local dealer over here...Quote:

I hit traffic in Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, and Portland... :lol: mastered it in a weekend.
I'm 46 yrs old, and grew up driving my moms 74 Volkswagen Beetle or my dads 1971 Dodge B100 Tradesman Van with 3spd shift on the column. I also have a couple of motorcycles so its nice to have an auto to commute in.
Hello and welcome! You're in NY? Me and Ari will be in NY on Sunday in Tuxedo Park :D
Are you talking to NYChevoo? He's been on the forum since 08 and has over 1200 posts... I don't know if the other guy specified where he's from.Quote:

Oh! And the color is Bright Blue, and I did take it to the dealer to have it checked out. Just a bad 02 sensor, so they got it fixed and I was on my way. Not as bad as I had feared. [My last car (a 92 Escort, lol) blew a head gasket not even a month ago, so warning lights give bring up bad feelings.]
