You had $1,500.00, tax free, to spend on your Monte?
Anything goes.

Hi `Bait,
If I owned a 2001 Monte Carlo (11+ years old)
I would invest my $'s into making it reliable & safe.
New tires/brakes/Rotors/shocks/struts/alignment,exhaust etc `if needed

Major Tune `Up: Plugs, wires, MAF cleaned, etc

New: Belts, hoses,all fluids, all filters, bulbs

Repair: Wore items/complete detail (in & out)

If there's any $'s remaining ? a CAI, New Exhaust tips, & what other member's suggested...

Please post & let us know what you decide...Good Luck

The realist... Many of us dream of the performance mods and here Space put's in context based on age and maintenance needs. But I see Space still has a few things one the "dream" list (nothing outrageous, but they are there).

That amount just about matches the invoice I got from PRJ on Friday for some work he did for me. I'll post some pics once I get the parts back!
