Default New Midwest member, Mike

Hy everyone, my name is Mike, I am 33, live in a Minneapolis suburb in Minnesota. My hobbies are all over the place, I have built computers, work on cars, play video games, play card games, love nerdy things and shows, as well as ice fish, short fish, boat fish, fly fish.
I have a deep love for understanding how things work. I like working in my cars but having two kids (4y.o. and 2) makes all of my other hobbies more of a treat rather than an ongoing thing that I can engage with.
I drive a 2000 Monte Carlo SS. I have found it to be a great car, and even with two kids in car seats, it is actually handy as a coupe because I can load all the kids in one door and buckle them in if I crawl in after them.
Not having to walk around the car in crummy weather or on narrow city streets is nice.

I will tell you now that the reason I fell in love with the Chevy Monte Carlo was because of watching NASCAR as a young adult in the late 90s and early 2000s.

If you guys and gals have any questions, just ask. I like to contribute as well as accept any help.

Thanks for the support guys. I was busy, we got a lot of snow in Minnesota a week ago and then the school I work at went full distance.
I took this picture right after I joined the forum!

MN is the way to be. There is a lot of nice driving around the countryside and in and out of river valleys. That's one of the reasons why I bought the Montecarlo. I have always loved the look but wanted another car to just cruise around in. I know there are nicer cars for different things but half of driving is how it makes you feel.
