After a year of walking around my 2003 Monte Carlo SS to jump in my old 95 Suburban (with 295,000 miles) and go to work, or camping, or simply to pick something up, I finally traded her off.
I bought the Monte used, and with a lot of miles (90,000), and it had some issues.... leaking intake, water on the floor board, insane ignition and security, but I still loved that car.... well, for a car. I tried to drive it every chance I had, and every time I sat in that drivers seat I was happy. I'd drive it on some weekends (between camping trips and "can you help me with this") just to drive, hundreds of miles, never a destination, just to drive. Great CAR.
As for the "car" part..... I realized that I'm not a "car" type of guy. Not right now anyhow. I have to have function, versatility, comfort, towing, and a bit of thrill. So, the Monte and the old truck was traded off for a "Me" type of vehicle.
I'll miss the Monte.
I still have a 65 Buick Wildcat...... Hey it's GM.

 

 

...as long as it wasn't traded for a VW...

 

Sorry to see you go man. But But like you said, at least you still have your Wildcat. SOOO....what did you get?

Dont be stranger.

peace.

 

Sorry to hear the Monte went bye, bye.

Keep us updated on how things go for you with your new vehicle.

 

Keep in touch. I too am curious as to what you bought.

 

You gotta do what you gotta do, man. I can understand.

Just know that you're always welcome here to join in the conversations. With or without the Monte. :-)

 

Yea man stay in touch, good luck on new car

 

Nothing wrong with a 65' Buick WildCat!

 

Sounds like the boss (aka wife) said its time for a minivan. hehehehe. Just kidding, I'm a fool who sold a 67 impala ss convertable to buy a house and get married. I haven't been the same since. Good luck with the new ride.
