#11
I've had my Monte since late 2003/early 2004, I'll be keeping it til the day it is beyond totalled, and if I ever get another Monte, it will undoubtedly be a 2006ish SS.

1. How long have you had your Monte Carlo?
Since Aug. 2006 so this summer marks year #4
2. How long do you plan on keeping it?
Long as it lasts me. I don't plan on ever selling it so as long as I can hold on to it I suppose.
3. Do you plan on getting another Monte Carlo?
If I did it'd most likely be a 4th gen, but who knows if I do or not.

I think it would be cool to find a stock 96 LS in white- and get it all cleaned up, and leave it bone stock. It would be neat to park next to my monte.
I definitely could see myself picking up a 6th gen someday- although I swore to myself my next car will be something different (after owning 6 wbodys in a row).

I have had mine since october 2007 so thats a little over 2 1/2 years.
I have no choice but to keep it for a while now with the new house payments ill be making. I hope to find a little beater 4cyl 5 speed car to drive to and from work in the future, tho its not necessary with the less than 2 minute drive to work I will have. Maybe then the monte could go in the garage and get a little TLC during the winter months. It will probably be my DD for a while tho until I can afford to drop some money on another ride.

1. How long have you had your Monte Carlo ? I have had it for almost 2 months now....I love it!
2. How long do you plan on keeping it ? I hope to have it forever, literally. I love this thing, and my family is heavily in to drag racing. Without a doubt this thing will turn into a full blown drag car one day in the future. Long after I pay it off hopefully. If it gets wrecked, that will just give me a better reason to start converting it sooner
3. Do you plan on getting another Monte Carlo ?
What year/model ? etc.? As of right now, no. But if I were to come across another one, I would get an 80's SS. If they ever came out with a new one that's a RWD V8, I would in a heartbeat.

Questions to answer:
1. How long have you had your Monte Carlo ?
I've had the car in my name for 4 years now, My parents' were the original buyers, we special ordered the car (at the time knowing that I was getting it, so I had a lot of say in the order process) I purchased it from my parents' when I had the money and was able to help them out.
2. How long do you plan on keeping it ?
I honestly plan on keeping the car forever. She's been my baby, and I have never loved a car like I love this one. It was my Mother's dream-car and quickly became mine. I'm in the process of looking for a DD so I can park this car and do as much of a restoration that I can.
3. Do you plan on getting another Monte Carlo ?
What year/model ? etc.?
If I find a great deal on one, yes. I'm currently saving money to get a daily driver. So far I have it narrowed down to...
Another Monte
00+ Grand Prix GTP
04+ Impala SS
00+ Regal GS
00+ Bonneville SSEi (see a pattern?)
98+ F-Body
Whichever car I find first with the best deal will be my new one lol... hoping that will be next year the latest.

1. 10 months (Since the end of July '09)
2. No plans to get rid of it yet.
3. Would like an 07 SS and/or a nice fourth gen SS... or a nice 05/06 GTO if any of those become a reality #2 will have a more definate answer.

I've had my Monte since 6/15/2007, I bought it brand new. Will be 3 year (gosh, I can't believe its been that long already) on June 15th of this year.
I honestly don't know how long I plan on keeping it???? I would like to say forever, but I really don't know. Definitely for a LONG LONG time.
I would buy another Monte if something happend to mine, but probably will not have two at the sametime.
