Talking Just got my first Malibu

Actually my first Chevy. Actually, my first car. So yeah.
Just bought a 2002 Chevy Malibu with the V6 engine...looks good.

Previous owner was a smoker, so I'm going with my mom to get it detailed today or tomorrow. Its dirty as hell, inside and out.

Its my first car.














As for me, I'm turning 16 years old in April, my name is Max.

Hi.

Thats a nice looking car. I thought the V6 was a very cool engine. If you take car of it, it should take care of you. I sold mine and kept my Volvo S60, but the ride on the Malibu was better and I miss it.

Updates!

Hiding in the garage



Messy!



My stickers



My bolt-on exhaust tip



All pictures linked to my mom's art website (for more exposure to real people )
I couldn't get any good pictures of the interior with my cheap camcorder/camera thing, so I'll have to wait until my uncle gets here with his good camera. I'll take new pictures of the stickers too, because that picture is blurry.

Thanks, Max.

Max, just saw some aftermerket wheels (Wheel Vintiques) that should fit your Malibu. Check out the wheels for the HHR. They are 110 mm bolt pattern and should fit your Malibu. But check and be sure on the sizes as I'm not infallible. It's a nice place to look too.

I am completely lost on that website.
Any chance you can give me a link to that specific wheel?
I hate to be so much trouble.
