      The New Guy!

      Names Nick, I'm in the US Army...
      So we got the Aveo (2009 with 17,000 miles) as I drive 100miles to work everyday and in my dodge magnum I was going through $300+ a month in gas. So the Aveo is basically a free car as the money that would go to gas every month more than covers the car payment.

      Within the frist 24 hours of ownership I had already debadged it, peeled the pinstripe off, and removed the rear wiper, clayed,wax,polished it.







      This is how the back will look really soon.


      My Dodge Magnum on 22in Lexani LX-15's and my work truck

      Love the last pic... when you mentioned the Magnum's fuel consumption I looked at that tanker and thought, "hmm looks like he's setting up for in-flight refueling"

      Getting the Aveo makes a bit more sense!

      Lol. If only the magnum ran on diesel. My work truck is full of 2,400 gallons of jp8 (diesel) and the truck has its own 150 gallon tank and gets a good 2mpg!!!!
