Default New from Ohio

WE had a 2004 hand me down Monte Carlo ss from my dad. He used it for a his work commute for several years. When we got it there were about 280,000 miles on the odometer it still drove good and ran great. We drove it for a couple years and loved it, at about the 350,000 mile mark we started having lots of electrical issues and couldn't afford to keep it. A couple weeks ago while my wife was on her way to work a teenage driver playing on his phone ran her off the road and totaled her car. Luckily we happened across a 2000 Monte Carlo ss with only 64,700 miles on it so we had to get it. 38 hours in the temperature gauge stopped working so I replaced the coolant temperature sensor and thermostat. Now with the gauge working again all is well we really missed our Monte and now hope it is the great find we think it was.

Do you enjoy living in that part of Ohio ?
I travel all around the country (on the web) and learn about the cities and states.

Do you have to worry about floods ?
