Default 24 Flaming Blue 2003

My name is Evan Keidel, I'm 55 today, and I live in Fort Dodge Iowa.
I kind of forgot I had even joined this site, until they sent me a B-Day
greeting today.
I have the 2003 Jeff Gordon limited edition Monte Carlo, it's entirely original, except for the wheels and tires. I replaced the wheels with chrome A.R. rims, but still have the original rims in storage.
I couldn't get the raised yellow letter tires, so I bought the same Goodyear Eagle tires, and paint the lettering myself by hand.
She now has 65.000 miles on her, and it still runs and looks like it's brand new.
I still can't drive it anywhere without someone stopping me to check it out, I've even been pulled on a few occasions, just because the police wanted to get a better look at her.
Nothing else to say, but it's a great car.

Yes indeed, that's a tasteful example of the sixth-generation Monte right there. A real special edition too!

Beautiful ride. I had one, had to sell it, now I am furiously searching for another. I really loved that car. It drove so well, and as you said, got a lot of attention. Nice ride.
