Not sure exactly what I'm doing with the Monte yet as far as selling to my dad, a different party or keeping it but I thought I'd get her cleaned up and ready for the winter either way!

Here's how she looks ATM:

Put her in the garage to start last night...

Good Luck `Mitch in whatever you decide to `do.
You just got 2 `do what's going to make you happy...

I've learned it's not fun getting a car that owns you & that you don't have the funds to enjoy....I think it's better owning a ride that you can afford + still have the funds remaining to drive it to places that are fun...or doing mod's to make it your own...

I really like your Monte & it looks great...Wish you the best in your decisions & your journey in `life ~ > EnJoy

Looks awesome man! May I ask a question? In tire threads I've always noticed we've suggest about the same things, mainly the Michelin Hydroedge tires. Yet I notice you have a tire that's caught my eye several times, the Goodyear Assurance TripleTred I belive is the name. Anyway have you had both sets of tires and which do you prefer? I was contemplating later down the road getting the Goodyears and selling my Hydroedges just because they look a bit meaner but if performance is better I'd keep my Hydroedges.
