Oldsmobile Alero = American Rice

This has to be the BIGGEST waste of money I have ever seen:

Thumbs down

190+ hp, automatic transmission, and frontwheel drive. I bet that could smoke anything on the road.

Not really my thing (you could get a sunburn inside there :p ) but why rag on someone elses hard work? There are plenty of "all show/no go" cars out there.

I wonder how much money he spent on that. Bet it's more than his house is worth.

Alright, fess up, WHY were you searching for Oldsmobile's on eBay! The first step is admitting you have a problem! :p Yeah that is pretty horrible. I mean that car is not meant to be riced, its a car meant for... ummm... yeah I cant think of what that car is good for. Maybe making your friends feel better about how they spent their 21 grand on a supercharged tC or a mazda3s or base mazda6?

yeah oldschool oldsmobiles are pimp. and seriously he could have saved so much money and ended up with such a cool fast car if he got a sports car and spent money on areas other than just ICE and rice.

Maybe he figures it's worth $15k since Oldsmobiles are collectors items now. But seriously, at some point you have to ask yourself if you're getting the best bang for your buck. I'd rather mod an old VW beetle than an Olds Alero. I'll be doing wheelies in my VW while the Olds driver is getting tennis elbow from his 190whp of torque steer.

It's okay -- I'm just expressing mock outrage.

The Alero is one Olds I'd never consider, and that one is just ridiculous.

Yeah man, why do people pay $25 grand for a 181hp front drive tiburon when they could get a Mustang GT for a touch more (alright, well in a few more months when the GTs are abundant at dealerships...) I just dont understand why people who know ANYTHING about cars buy Tiburon GT V6s, sure they look good, but thats it... 25 grand buys a helluvalotta car in todays sport compact world.

that interior made me go temporarily blind due to the acidic vomit i puked on the monitor which backsplashed into my eyes.. after my vision returned i noticed that the vomit was so much more attractive than that car, that I actually ate it.
