Just the Monte and my wife's 03 Malibu. We're starting a Chevy family.

Btw Mels, you have a nice Monte and that Grand Prix looks good too. Nice rim choices.

I have too many vehicles. A 1970 Monte Carlo I've had for 23 years, a 1998 Chevy Silverado ext-cab Z71 I bought new, a 1998 chevy Silverado K3500 reg cab long bed with a 454 that I bought three years ago, (2) 1992 chevy Cavaliers that my fiancee and I drive to save on gas, a 1972 Volkswagen Superbeetle my grandfather gave me, and my 2004 Monte Carlo SS Dale Jr. edition I bought last year. As you can tell I love vehicles and would have more if I had the room and money.

i have my '97 monte, also have my grandfathers '00 ford ranger that i've been driving, my dad's got a '97 plymouth voyager with 260k+ miles that we bought for $300 that he commutes with ( and was our truck before the ranger, lol ) and my mom drives an '00 isuzu trooper that she's had for probibly 7 years now, 215k ish miles, 3.5 litre honda v6 and a 5 speed stick, 4x4, suprisingly bare bones for something on a platform shared with a lexus. only has power windows & locks, and power mirrors. thats it.

I've had 2 Monte Carlo's: 05 LT & a 06 LT3...
Now I just have a Monte Carlo Saving Fund...waiting to get
a home with a big garage before I purchase another great Monte Carlo...I love my cars 2 much to let them sit out in
the elements....I have a list of Monte's that I am interested in, but I'm not ready for one yet....Not E.Z. waiting, but good things are worth waiting for : )
Now I drive a company truck: a 95 Toyota Tacoma, RWD 4 banger, that's sucks on MPG's, but it's a fun truck & it's part of my pay package....


Great Thread, and I've enjoyed reading/seeing all the super rides that our member's own & enjoy...

In addition to our '02 MC SS (my wife's daily driver), we own a '73 Mercedes 220 (our daughter's daily driver), an '86 Jaguar XJ6, a '90 Jaguar XJ-S, and a '97 Honda VFR750 motorcycle (my daily ride). When weather is too nasty for riding, I split my time between the old Jag's. I want to sell the XJ6, but my 15 year old son really wants me to keep it for him. We'll see...

In case it isn't obvious, I really like old, unusual cars. New cars just don't have as much character in my opinion. Though I really do like that Monte...

i drive the 96 z34, my mother drives a 94 gmc jimmy 4x4, dad drives a 93 chevy 2500 cheyenne. as you can see, all gm vehicles. the only exceptions are the 95 integra gsr we have in the back yard. and my uncle has a 1970 judge he has had since it was new.my brother HAD an 02 dale sr ss monte that had 35xxx miles when he got it. i LOVED that car, the original owner built the motor, and put a BRAND new sc on it. the car was amazing......until my brother let his ex gf drive it.....she got mad at him and put it in reverse, gunned it and threw it into gear at about 15 mph :'( trans was shot and she bounced it off the rev limiter for about 10 min.....i hate that woman! how could someone do that to a car
