..and to driving its self.


Hello everybody, Would like to just introduce myself.
My real name is Derek and I am 18. Recently graduated highschool, and recieved my first car. Due to some medical issues my dad has been going through he was granted access to his life insurance early. From this he said that he was going to buy me a car. He was telling me that we were looking for a 00ish Grand prix (Which would have been nice for me). To my surprise, a week later. he had a 00 Monte SS sitting in the garage for me. This car is really one of my favorites (I am a big NASCAR fan, and I started watching around this year of car. So I really idolized it for years).

I really feel lucky to have a car like this, Was more than I was expecting. i signed up here just to get advice (when needed) about it and to just be able to speak to others with the same type of car.

Welcome Derek There is plenty of advice on here. Any mod plans yet, if not just look around a bit you'll get ideas.

Thanks for the welcome.

Anybody mind sharing a nice modification I could do to it? (Keep in mind 18 years old with minimum wage job). So something simple :P
