I guess I've been a car guy ever since I learned to drive (in a new 55 Buick) if that don't date me. Back in the early 90's I got into what I call shadetree restoring and did it for about 15 years. During that time I picked up a 1971 Monte Carlo. In 2005 I bought a new Monte Carlo LT in black and sold the 71 to help pay for the 05. I still own the 05 and it only has 25K miles on it. I have a Flickr page that has pics of all my cars unfortunately only the 05 Monte is left in the corral. If you would like to take a look check it out.

Thanks Stumpmi,
When your a car nut you want to dress up and modify anything with 4 wheels and an engine. I quit doing the car thing about 5 years ago and decided to take my frustrations out on the mower. Everything on it is just for show. I have hood stripes and a chrome bumper on it now. Somebody help me!!! LOL
