NEW '97 GRAND AM OWNER HERE.  TRYING TO FIND OUT MORE INFO,
GOOD LOCAL RELIABLE MECHANICS, STUFF TO WATCH OUT FOR (GLITCHES, ETC,)
AND WHAT TO EXPECT FROM MY S.E. COUPE.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I'M IN FOR HERE --- SO FAR, SO GOOD; THOUGH THE
ALTERNATOR BELT IS STARTING TO MAKE A WEIRD NOISE. I READ SOMEWHERE THAT THESE
S.E.'S ARE PRONE TO ALTERNATOR-RELATED PROBLEMS. AND ELECTRIC-WINDOW PROBS.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN ADVISE ON IS APPRECIATED.
