Well, first things first, maintenance! I've done a bunch of work on this car already. I ended up replacing the sub-frame, the entire interior, pretty new wheels and tire, and a few more bits off of a 2003 Cavalier that my bosses daughter crashed and I scored for a few hundred bucks. That was back before winter though, and the car was never aligned. I just made the appointment today to get it aligned. That should hopefully help out FE a little bit. I can see the front tires have worn a fair amount faster than the rears...
