Do you still have the SS BADGES from the car? And if so would you part with them? Im wanting them for my 06

 

My car had an incident back in February that I really didn’t want to talk about because it made me so upset and I couldn’t believe that it happened but one early morning while driving on a very curvy country road there was a very sharp turn and I went to slow down to go in the turn but as I applied the brake and went for the turn I couldn’t believe it but the car with still going straight and went in to the ditch at the other side of the of the curve it went in and came right out that was my first accident I wasn’t injured and I walked away and the Monte drove away as well it only sustained cosmetic damage and now I’m currently saving up to get the replacement bumper cover color matched

so I have some photos of the car before and the bumper and the front end disassembly to the Monte Carlos recovery

Wow your not kidding . So many idiots out there wrecking nice Montes . Herman

 

My 01 SS (Ms Monte) met her end Memorial Day weekend 2020. Not as spectacularly as these wrecks, no one hurt except my car and our old Silverado. But still very tragic to me, with only 114K, she had a lot of life left in her. I had Ms Monte for 8 years and drove her only about 56,000 miles during that time.

 

This had to be one of the stupidest wrecks ever -- May 2014.
I was stopped in a line of traffic on a short, fairly steep hill leading up to a 4-way stoplight. I had left a space ahead of me because there was a business driveway. As I am waiting there, I see this truck stalled on the top of the hill. Big, jacked-up pickup. The young man driving it decided he could just let it roll back down the hill (backwards!) and swing it into the driveway there. Well, kid, that maneuver might work for ya on a video game, but out in the Real World -- HA! The big rig driver behind me saw what was happening and tried to back up so I could back up, but he had people behind him who could not see what was going on and wouldn't or couldn't move. (The big rig driver felt so bad that he apologized to me afterwards. I thanked him for his effort, but of course it wasn't his fault.) So it all came at me in slow motion, nothing I could do except honk (I had backed up as far as I was able), and worst of it was that I had passengers, including an elderly man in the passenger's seat.

CRUNCH!
I mean, the car is BRIGHT RED!!!
Fortunately nobody was injured but me, slightly -- mostly from gripping the steering wheel so hard. It aggravated an old injury from a really bad wreck a few years before, and this time I needed a few rounds of physical therapy to straighten things out. (Side note: The other wreck was caused by a young woman plowing into us going about 45 mph... again I was stopped in traffic and helpless... totaled 2 vehicles and slightly damaged a third. They picked up pieces of the cars with a shovel.)

I was really worried that the insurance Co was going to total the car, but they got her fixed up very nicely and I got another 6 years out of her.

 

My MC got its eye punched out in bumper to bumper traffic. Hood was bent up too.

 

ouch!
