I've been fortunate enough to become friends with a few of the members in this group. I've chatted with a couple on and off through the last cpl years. Today I met up with "Drivernumber3" in his town as I was traveling to a job in Colorado. It is was worth stopping to meet such a car enthusiast. He is a genuine great guy. Hopefully I can stop on the way back and hit a car show with him.

 

That was one of my favorite parts of living in the Midwest back during the heyday of W body modding.

I attended a handful of Ultimate Monte Meets and got to meet a ton of members from the old Mymonte site. Plus I attended a handful of the 3800 centric race days (IDD, etc) even though I was way more into sound systems at the time.

Since moving out to AZ, the only monte forum member Ive met was Zippy02 at one of the half mile events / car shows out at Gila Bend (which was great to see his beautiful car). I used to hang out with the local GP club 5 or so years ago (as I had a GP GXP at the time) but after a few of the major members moved on to different platforms, the regular meets fell apart.

 

The forums definitely allowed me to meet a lot of my really good friends that I have today.

 

Wow! Thanks Jeff always great to meet good folks. He even brought me some Dale E, stuff that I didn't have....imagine that? Lol
Hope he stops back when he is coming thru.

 

I agree, it is very fortunate to meet some of our extended car family once in a while. Despite some geography between me and a couple car friends, I have a few great ones in the list. Some I am lucky to meet with almost once a year.

 

So far I have been able to meet the folks that own the 4th Gen Monte Carlo in Blue they were at a show in St. Louis when I was stationed there for disaster work back in 15,
Then I was at the Monte Carlo National meet in Bowling Green, KY I met Tadd, and Barb the fellow in the Black T-shirt Mel from Louisiana, I can't remember his last name but he has a beautiful White 06/07 Monte with orange accents, then Roger Clark with his Earnhardt styled Monte Carlo.
Then I meet Lisa from Georgia and took some photo's with here car nice Black Monte Carlo she calls the Black Rose, I even made her a customized engine cover for it.
Years ago this is probably why somebody invented conventions. LOL
