Rolling out the Welcome Wagon
I have been around the site for a few weeks, but just now decided to introduce myself. My name is Tyler, and im from the central part of Iowa. I have loved the Monte Carlo since I saw my cousin's a few years back. I actually have her car.
It is a Red 2000 LS. I have been saving up money here and there, and now I am looking to improve it. It just turned over 179,000 miles today while going to work. I have had a few mechanical problems here and there with it, but it just will not die. Two winters ago, I spun out going down an icy road, and dropped it into a ditch that was 15ft deep. It didnt even scratch. Then this winter, I was hit by a big gust of wind, hit a patch of black ice, and went across the road and into another ditch, still no scratch. I have, however, been hit by some one backing out, so the back end is a little mushed on the passenger side, and a snow plow had caused a chunk of ice to go through my front grill on the bottom driver side.
I just though I should introduce myself and I am open to all comments, and even constructive criticism. I will be posting more, as I continue to improve my baby.
P.S. this is a FANTASTIC site, and I have been VERY pleased with the people who run, mod, help, and the community members. You all have been a great help and very pleasing.
