I used to avoid voting in these things if I had an entry. But site traffic is pretty low these days and I guess we need the votes...

Great entries though. Tough call...

Hells Bells, nicely played, these are all nice shots, but only 1 can be a winner, The San Francisco 49ers! Oh uh back to the task at hand, choosing and voting. Go Trump 2020. Okay and now a vote for the Monte money shot. Best of luck everyone, here is a vote for the beer Budman! Love the array of background colors. A vote for the slick 5th gen., always like that ugly car for some reason, like a mother loves her ugly child, it is a dark part of our heritage. Its like OMG don't look it is a 5th gen, maybe they will just keep going, don't look over there. Oh Christ here it comes, hey 5th gen what's up, we been missing you, we were just talking about you right guys. The 6th gen with a rwd config. is like ultra rare infinity x 10 setup.

Not to many of the 5th Gens out there. I only see one occasionally at best. In 2001 I got my son a 1996 5th Gen Monte Carlo and it was a good one because he abused it all thru college and into his marriage as well.
My Son in law owned a 2001 Monte Carlo SS and that was a beautiful car.
I wanted to buy it and my daughter said no Dad you don't want this one it is always in the shop for something. Sensors drove them nuts.
As much as the majority of the folks on here have issues with the Gen 6 Monte i am glad she kept me from getting one.
I love the looks of them but I think Chevrolet built in some of the headaches to keep the shops busy.
Kinda like the SUV's that you need to change out the headlights and you almost need to dismantle the front end to get it done.

That's awesome - thanks! I don't know when the last time I won a photo contest was, but it was a long time ago.

The mural artist deserves the credit, especially since I rode it to a win previously with this barely-voted-on entry from the challenge in August of 2018



It will still be months before I get any new material, but I did amass a good mural collection
