New guy from IL
Hey all,
After hearing about this site again from Cort's meet yesterday, I figured I'd sign up since there is a Monte in the family, haha. I'm Matt, and here are the cars. Mine's a 2000 Grand Prix GT. Nothing much done, it has a 2008 L26 3800 that got put in after my then 63k mile L36 spun a rod bearing. Other than that is just the K&N, along with a few miscellaneous things I've done that you can probably see
Bought it in 07 with 50k, it now just turned over 89k, with 26k on the engine. Only thing different in the pictures, is that now the drilled/slotted rotors(not a fan haha) are replaced with blanks. And the calipers are now black.
Here's the one that is in the family, that never really sees daylight, our 84 SS. Mostly original 95k miles. We got it in 2004 with 89k on the odo. Hasn't seen rain or snow, ever. Only thing done is a cheap Thrush exhaust(which we still need to get some new tailpipes, to get rid of the ugliness haha)
Thanks for looking guys, I'll be stayin' for sure!

Thanks for the welcomes and comments guys! The paint on the GP isn't in that great of shape, the PO didn't take care of it at alllll. So luckily it photographs better than in real life haha.
I just do the normal stuff to try to maintain it, clay, polish, wax. All I have are the over the counter stuff by hand, I haven't upgraded to an orbital and the expensive products juust yet haha.
