Default Had to say goodbye to Raven :/

So about a little under a month ago, my 2000 Monte Carlo threw a strut assembly through the right rear shock tower. so at that point i decided that it was time for her to go. She was already rusting pretty badly and just wasn't worth putting almost all new metal on the car. So i just wanted to show some past pictures of her and say a final farewell to Raven.

When i first got her.

I'm sorry for your loss, but happy for your gain. It's going to be hard to get used to all that power in the GXP...

Sorry to hear about with your monte. I would say you picked a great upgrade car. Those grand prixs are nice cars.
