2005 Aveo owner

[LyricalShanksta]

Greetings,

I have a 2005 sedan model. I discovered Aveos when I rented a hatchback in 2006 and thought it was a fun little car. But I've mostly thought of my Aveo as a moderately economical placeholder until I figured out what I really wanted - until recently: My son and I have bonded over car mod videos on YouTube, and I suddenly see a lot of potential for the car.

The picture (I hope it's attached and viewable; my preview post shows it as jumping out of the message) shows two simple paint mods we've done. I made the chrome no the grill black, and we blacked the plastic placeholders for the fog lights that someone didn't purchase when they bought the car originally.

I'm looking for Aveo-specific mods, maintenance help (I'm a car guy in training), and some camaraderie. Glad I stumbled across this site today; wish I'd have looked for it when I bought the car four years ago: I've had to deal with the dreaded timing belt grenade AND crapped out thermostat housing.
