I'd keep Mr. Burns and save up for a DD.

`Ted U just can't cause we all would cry :(
Have you thought about getting a daily driver that gets better MPG's and save the miles on Mr Burns :confused: It would save your AweSome Monte V8 SS for pleasure, and good weather & keep your miles down. I had to sell mine to pay for college expenses, because they ended `up higher then what I expected. Now, I have a junker to drive & I am saving for another AweSome Monte of your caliber.... Some members have made some really funny posts, but there is a message in their post. "We must give `up to keep the things we enjoy in life....Sacrifice is never E.Z., but it sure has it's rewards 4-Sure.... We all have 2 do, what we all have to do 2 survive in this World and I sure hope that you find a way to survive and keep your Award Winning AweSome Monte Carlo SS V8 4-RealSure.... Please keep us updated...& Good Luck |
Burns is getting a little over 15 MPG per tank and now gas is climbing back up to $3 a gallon. Don't get me wrong, I love my car, but it sucks putting almost $50 into the tank every fill up. Cheer me up or give me alternate car options that I could literally trade my Monte straight up for that will get me better fuel economy and still be fun to drive. If you're looking to get rid of the car altogether- the next option I could think would be getting a monte with an L67. A handful of cheap mods would get you back to 300 hp, and you'd get better mpg (I was low 20's in the city with my old gtp). If you're looking for something with significantly better gas mileage with similar power- you're going to have to start looking at a turbo car- something like an SRT-4, or a used EVO or something. That way when you're out of boost- the car gets regular 4 cylinder gas mileage (plus the fact that most are manual transmissions also)- but then you get into it, and have the power you're used to. |
Knowing that Rick already has a "sunny day" car, I don't think getting ANOTHER car would be better for him.

:eek: :eek: Say it ain't so...Mr Burns :eek: :eek: !
Have you considered finding a LT or LS ? 3.4 or N/A 3.8 ? The V-6's get pretty decent gas mileage. Just a thought.........:cool: |

I've gone through my budget several times trying to save money here and there and I've done so. Things like canceling XM and HBO, you know? I've done it. Trust me when I say I love the car, and I definitely love hanging out here and talking to all of you guys! I've been looking at the possibilities of how I could seriously pull off an even trade. If a dealer would even consider the possibility. Alright now, don't poke fun or talk crap, hear me out... I found a 2006 Hon-duh Accord Coupe EXL-V6 w/ Navigation, 27K miles (same as the Monte) for $15,900. That's a 240 HP V6 that gets 20 MPG city. So you know it can do better with a little HWY mixed in. Insurance could even go down based on it being a Honda V6. Here's a few pictures, what do you guys think? Honestly. :) http://cdn.dealerpeak.com/photolibra...0x-7257554.jpg http://cdn.dealerpeak.com/photolibra...0x-7257557.jpg http://cdn.dealerpeak.com/photolibra...0x-7257562.jpg http://cdn.dealerpeak.com/photolibra...0x-7257563.jpg http://cdn.dealerpeak.com/photolibra...0x-7257564.jpg Oh, and I already checked, my wheels would fit. FYI! lol |

I think if a dealer is saying that it get 20MPG City, then it probably doesn't. Your Monte Carlo's window sticker I bet said 19/20 City didn't it?
Also, IT'S A HONDA!!! Get something fixed and pay twice as much, there goes the gas savings. |
