About this blog

I bought a new Alero in 2002, and haven't gotten around to selling it. The car has several positive traits: the heat and AC still work, it's loaded with features, and most of all it's paid off.

This fall I start grad school and can't afford to buy a new car. Therefore I must keep the Oldsmobile going.

Parts are failing. Rust is creeping. The dash is wrinkling.

This blog will document all the work that goes into keeping an American car alive past 90,000 miles.

The first posts will cover pre-blog repairs & experiences. As new work happens I'll blog with pictures.
