Hello,
My name is Joe and I own a 2002 Silver Monte Carlo LS. Here is a picture of my baby:
It's kind of a blank slate at the moment, but I hope to earn some $$ and put some blood sweat and tears into making it awesome.
Well, more awesome

Thanks for the warm welcomes. I bought this around August of 2005. So far I have ~55k miles on it. I just ordered a new in dash head unit to replace the cassette player from crutchfield. I'll post my adventures with installing it in the A/V topic as soon as it comes in.

Hi `Joe, and Welcome to the Monte Carlo Forum.
Thanks for posting/sharing a pic of your Monte.
Have you had any problems with your Monte Carlo ?
How's your MPG?
Look forward to your future posts.
Wish you safe/happy/fun miles in your Monte Carlo.
How do you like living/driving in Orlando, Florida ?
I don't get up there that much, but the traffic is `crazy
Say `hi to Mickey : )

I try to take care of it 
. I love living in Orlando, even with the traffic. I'm a senior here at UCF. The only problem I have with the car is a possible oil leak somewhere. I don't see a spot underneath my car in the parking lot, but the oil levels go down a few hundred mi. before I'm due for an oil change. The MPG is great on the highway - about 30. It really amazed my buddies when we took a road trip down to the keys and I only had to stop for gas once .

Joe, welcome to our humble net-crawl!
Wishing you many happy miles/mods in your Monte Carlo!
You might want to be careful with that oil consumption as well, the oil, which burns dirty,can easily clog the Catalytic converter, and foul O2 sensors.
