Hey guys, I just got my 2001 Chevy Monte Carlo SS last night, I owned a 1988 Mustang GT previously but did a straight trade for it and honestly think I got the better end of the deal. The SS is fully loaded with every option: Sunroof, Onstar, Autodimming mirror, heated seats, information display on the roof with homelink. This is my first Monte Carlo and so far I love it!! I love the 3800 power it gives out and love the mpg's. Its black on black and the exterior and interior are both in great shape with absolutely no damage done to any of the seats.
Anyway here are some pics, they arent great but my HD7 sucks at taking pics...Hope to meet some of you guys at a local meet.

thanks guys, yeah there are a few things i need help with. It has 202k miles yeah I know thats alot but for a SS that has that many miles its been very well taken care of...
My 2 issues with the car.
It needs a new crank position sensor and i have no idea how to replace that
and it has the typical problem with the "low coolant" light being on..

Well I hope she does you good. It may not be able to burn tires like the Mustang but hey, it wears the bowtie, therefore making it 10000000000000000000X better
