Long time reader, finally registered.

Hi guys, my name is Paul, I'm 34 years old. I'm a HD diesel mechanic, but my experience with cars is limited. I have a 2001 Monte Carlo. My dad bought it new and I drove her off the lot, I bought it off of him around 2006. She's got her second transmission in (a bastard of two transmissions I mashed together). She's at 296,000km so I'm looking forward to break past 300k.

Cheers

Yeah, she's a working girl. Been primary vehicle up until two years ago, but still use her 2-3 days a week. Ill post a pic soon enough, but she's starting to show her age, lol. It's a toss up of driving her till she dies, or invest coin into her and try to make her last.
