This was the end for my little Aveo - It served me well! I will miss it!
This was not my fault, guy 2 cars back didn't hit his brakes at all, he was doing about 55-60 mph when he hit the lady behind me!
Oh that sucks, sorry to see an Aveo get smashed up. Will you be selling any parts off of it?
I don't know yet, I have not settled with the insurance company as of right now.
Why can't people drive!
Any thoughts on what your next car will be?
I highly suspect the guy who was at fault was flapping his gums on a Cell phone, more interested in his converstation than his driving.Quote:

Doh, sorry to hear about the crash. It sounds like you're okay though, and lucky with the guy flying that fast into the lady behind you. Its always good to see people walk away alright.
Sad to see a pretty car go to the junk yard in the sky. It looks like the engineering kept you safe. Maybe a Sonic for your next car?
Glad everyone is ok!! sorry about your aveo though :(
So sorry to see that happen!
I am hopeful that I will get settled out soon! I'll drive their rental car until they do!
Yes I am definitely getting a Sonic!
I am feeling much better, last night was my first night of not waking up everytime I roll over, ribs are still sore, but not bad!
Thanks for all of the replies, I will post more as soon as I can! Insurance fishers, who knows how far they go!
people are more important than cars. Glad you're ok.
So very true petrified.rabbit! You are unique in all the world. The car is replaceable you are not.
OK, soas I thought, they totaled my car! So now I am waiting to hear from their"Total Loss Department". Hopefully I will hear from them soon! I amgoing to try to keep my Aveo, I am going to try to resurrect an old thread -
http://www.aveoforum.com/forum/f105/nc-13966/
As soon as I confirm that I can keep my car, we are going to get started getting the title on the blue Aveo, it needs pretty much the only good parts of the yellow Aveo. So I'm praying for that to play out!
BTW - I purchased a Silver 2013 Chevy Sonic Lt, me likey!
Congrats on the Sonic!
Nice, good choice!
Ditto! Do we get to see pics of the new sonic?
Pics or it didn't happen!Quote:

Definately want to see pics of the sonic.
OK, I took some time today and removed all of the Ford stuff from the dealer! I got my plate and put them on, etc... I was thinking on the way home, in the last 4 years I have had one of each of this type of Chevy;
1. 1994 Geo Metro - paid $1400 in 2010, drove it 2 years and sold it for basically $1400 not including that I drove this car over 400 miles a week for a year getting paid $.55 per mile!
2. 2004 Aveo - Paid $2650 in 2012, it has been totaled, the insurance company of the guy at fault is paying me $3200, plus I am going to try to get the blue 2004 Aveo that I have as my avatar and put the motor and transmission from mine in it and it will be my daughter's first car, I just have to get the title worked out - hopefully that won't be too difficult.
3. 2013 Sonic - paid 10500 for it, used cargurus to find it about 90 miles away, so far I love this car!
Come to think of it, had I gotten a Sonic that was a year newer, I would have gotten one that was from the same year of every decade, or if I had gotten one 1 year older, I would have gotten the first year of each model.
Anyway, after I have Frankensteined the 2 cars, I will sell any parts that are worth "recycling" then off to the scrap heap for the poor yellow Aveo!

I will get better pictures later, it was raining when I took these, plus it was dusk, so they are not the best.
Very nice!
Nice pics!!!
Here are some better pics;

I know what my first "mod" will be! Very simple, the Aveo had a holder for glasses, in lieu of the handle above the door on the driver's side, I removed it from the Aveo, and removed the handle from the Sonic, now I have to make some adjustments to the glasses holder for it to fit, just widen the holes and remove small amount of plastic. I have also got my steering wheel cover in, it's old school leather. I'll get pics on hopefully this weekend.
You know the Sonic is just a better looking Aveo. Too bad they re-branded the name. So what are plans for O'Yeller there?
you didn't post any of the important stuff about the sonic, engine, transmission, etc..
> You know the Sonic is just a better looking Aveo.
Ditto!
The Big aveo next to a gen1. My LS has a bit of 'wheel envy' in this pic.
by that logic, then it is a rebranded-rebranded metro
I have to look into the title on a blue Aveo that needs a motor & tranny.
1.8 ltr, auto tranny, LT package, touring suspension, I think that pretty much covers the most important things that may not be standard on the LT package
I kind of figured you would likely be rocking the LUW 1.8 instead of the 1.4T LUV, because I didn't see a Turbo badge on the trunk.Quote:

yes, I know they are 2 different companies, however, the 04 swift was an Aveo, so they replaced the Suzuki (at the time GM backed and looked like it was going to become a GM company until 2008)/Geo Swift/Metro with the Daewoo (GM owned) Aveo, making the "remake" of the metro a "re-brand" so I stand behind my statement.
We could get into the definitions of manufacturers, models who made what, but the "re-branding" is a remark of the model that is being replaced, not necessarily who built it.
I am surprised that it is not made by Isuzu though.
so, the first thing I have done to my Sonic:

Looking to add an OBD II Blutooth and a 7" tablet (looking at creating a dock that will stay in the car)
