Hey everyone...my name is Dean, and I'm 18 living and going to school in Pennsylvania. I just got my Monte Carlo last November as my first car, and I really enjoy it so far.
The car is a black 2001 SS 3.8L V6 with about 80,000 miles, mostly stock parts as far as I can tell. I have some knowledge about cars (my dad is pretty knowledgeable about such things), but it's nothing that wonderful. I'll be headed into the Mechanical Engineering field at school, and I'm hoping to turn this Monte Carlo into my personal learning project, helping me learn more about how it works, while upgrading it in the process.
My first goals for the car are mostly aesthetic, having to do with looks and sound. Beyond that, I'd like to get involved in the engine compartment and the exhaust systems. Like I said, my skill level is pretty low so far, but I love my car and I plan on learning as fast as I get to get the most out of it!

Welcome. The best way to learn, in my opinion, is to ask people who have the most knowledge and then get your hands dirty. Good luck!
