Hey Im Brenden's best friend (montetank) and I figured I would make an account here and maybe lurk around and help him out. But if non monte members are not aloud then go ahead and kick me out. Im 17 and live across the street from Brenden. I've got a 1998 Saturn SW2, yeah thats right no name just SW2 lol. Its pretty clean for a 98 even though I hate it. I've got intake, header, exhuast, front STB, and 17" Sacchi S45 rims. It's slow and dumb, but whatever. I still kinda like it just becuase I know that I've put a bunch of hours into it and its unique. Just wanted to introduce myself, and say that I don't know anything really about monte's inparticular but I'll help out on anything car related that I can get into. And o yeah, I guess I could be resident saturn expert haha.

 

and o just in case anyone wanted some pictures here ya go...

When Brenden gets his liscence in a couple days we'll wax the cars up and go out for a photo shoot (I'm getting more into photography you can see my work here at www.flickr.com/gbrunner24). Then you'll be able to see the tank haha.

 

You are welcome to contribute all you want.

Heck, you still own a GM vehicle and many here own a second GM vehicle outside of Chevy.

 

and o yeah forgot to add my name is tyler

here's a quick picture of the engine

We all have shared memories of our ealier cars here.

It is good that you can put it on permanent record on the net.

I have almost no pics or documents of my first cars.

 

haha yeah it couldn't run up anything near a monte, well probably the older 3100's or a crapped out 3400, but the turd can be a fun car to drive sometimes.

 

Just wait, in 20 years it will be a collectors item. They all are.

....and you will wish that you never sold it.

 

Ha well if I get the funds and a second car for a daily driver, the turd will be turbo'd within the next couple of years, then i could run pretty close to most of the monte's. Although those new 5.3L are pretty dang quick.

 

Dude, you are 17.

When I was your age, I was wrenching on my car till 3 in the morning.

I guess I'm glad there was no internet then.

 

I would be wrenching but I would get in trouble with the parents haha. Plus my tool selection sucks. Whenever I need anything I just head to brenden's house.

Plus I just spent 6 hours under the turd 2 days ago, so I'm good for a little bit lol.
