Welcome to the forum!

 

Funny you ask, as I was pulling into my driveway last night I do believe it has finally kicked the bucket. Car won't start and if it attempts to, it'll knock pretty hard then quit. It started misfiring in cylinders 3 and I think it was 2 or 6 about 3 weeks ago. Tried the plugs and wires and didn't work but did narrow it down to which cylinders. The car was beaten alive by my mother (yep, a hand-me-down after the old z34's transmission took a dump). She was horrible about regular maintenance and drove it into the ground on the highway. I knew what I was getting into with it but babied it for the last 4 years. After I get the new Z34, FRIDAY, I'll take it to the shop and see what they say. Get it fixed up a bit and sell it off. Make about 1500 off it.

Oh man, they're a treat in the winter. We had a couple of really good snow falls this last year. Not once have I ever gotten stuck in the snow. Absolutely a blast to tromp around in fresh powder. Back in the day my brother and I used to blow through the piles left by snow plows for s&g with my old Lumina.

 

Yep, FWD be damned. Those old Montes were mechanically made for MN weather. Doing donuts in the parking lot wasn't too bad either.
