Hi there, I recentlly moved to the USA from Europe. I am residing in Renton, Washington and since exactly 5 days ago, I am a proud owner of a 2010 Chevy Aveo LT.

[petrified.rabbit]

welcome congratulations.

why the move? and even though a lot of americans don't know europe isn't a country :P what country are you from?

[Pooh Man]

this may seem strange but do you or family members back home have access to auto salvage yards?? Cant blame me for trying. Hope u like it here, congrats on the chevy

Welcome to the site.

I moved here on a green card. I believe that I can achieve much more here as a graphic designer than back home.

My home back there is the Republic of Macedonia, a small country in the south east of Europe.

And yes Pooh Man, i have friends and family who have access to more than one auto salvage yard.

So far I am loving it here, its even better than I hoped for.

Welcome, and good luck with your Aveo!

Virtually everyone in America welcomes new immigrants who come here legally, as you have.

Washington state is very far from Macedonia. Why did you choose that particular place to live, here in America? Why did you choose to own an Aveo?

I chose WA because my sister in law lives here so it was a good place to start. Plus I have always had a very good opinion about Seattle (especially when the Sonics were in town) Countless nights watching them play.

Since I am new here, with little credit history, options were limited for buying a car. I wanted something i can afford which was about 8000-8500 and something that was close to 2010 or 2011 and had good gas mileage. I liked the GM warranty and first I was hooked to an 2011 Aveo 2LT which got sold under my nose. And then, this one came into my view.

So thats it. Now i read and read on on how to make it look better via this forum.

that's great keen j I hate to be forward but perhaps you could find some salvageable turbo manifolds from the folks back at home and make yourself some $ while helping us out. It is very difficult to find Europeans that will ship used parts here, best of luck and hope things fall into place for you....

PM me with details.
