I'm like Big Mecho. I drive mine year round. I didn't buy it to not drive it. We store 2 cars in the winter as it is. This is my daily driver, year round.

And I store 10 cars throughout the year. lol

I did buy my '06 with the intention of wanting to drive it. But more important it's been a LONG time since I've owned a car this new (when I bought it) and I want to keep my investment looking as nice as possible.

It was 20 years since my last car payment. Being unemployed for over 10 years didn't help. That's what being involved in a Worker's Comp case will get you.

Not to pull my own chain but I got some huge compliments on my cars (Montes) this morning at the local Chevy dealer. They wanted to do the recall service on the '03 Pace car. They all liked it. The service tech was telling me they have one customer who owns a real nice silver '06 Monte. Then the service manager opened his mouth and told the tech it was me. lol

With it being overcast out this morning the guy who helps out the service manager said he couldn't believe I had the Pace car out at all.

Here she is just out of storage before i could even cleanm her up,






Then i headed out to the wind farm and took a few pictures so i could just drive my car around.




I didnt install the ZZP TB yet i am just going to wait until i am home for good. I did replace the front wheel bearing with some issues. When i pulled bearing out with a puller the bearing snapped in half so i had to sit there with a hammer and a screw driver and try to pop it out. after about 30 mins of hitting it it finally came out. So i felt like i should not take my chances with the TB. I did however go and get the VHT night-shade stuff and painted the reverse lights. I suggest that anyone with a black car go and do this BTW.

It feels so good to get to drive my car again, also i mmight of gone through a tank of gas in one day becasue how much i was driving/getting on it.

nice pics!! great settings. got any pics of the reverse lights painted? i've been on the fence on smoking all the lights, i think black cars look good with everything black but i'm just not sure whether i really want to do it or not. my windows need to be tinted too if i do the lights.

i love those windmills btw!!
