Wow is it August already??
What's new with you?
I have a Carshow today, should be a good day it has cooled down some.
Last week I was able to earn a first place trophy!
Finished my Harbor Freight tire changer upgrade and installed a stationary compressor with hose drum in the garage. Next up a professional tire balancer. Tired of being dependent,
going fully independent now. Especially no longer dependent when it comes to changing tires. Current situation showed not good to wait for stores to open again.

I know what you mean on being dependent on some businesses. It's almost like customer service has been thrown away and no one Gives a Blank Blank anymore!

They had a carshow at the living history farm nearby they had tractors there too. Pretty neat. I won a trophy for best display of a Veteran. Real pretty trophy. I was surprised to get anything as there were a bunch of nice rides.

Good morning MCForum. kinda cool outside here in the middle of the USA 55 degrees this morning but supposed to warm up shortly.
Now those of you who are wondering what your Monte Carlo is worth here is a link to an ebay bidding sale for a 2004 Intimidator with 7,888 miles on it.
It has a buy it now at $22K but also bidding on this with a reserve has reached to almost 14K so when the auction ends you can base some info on that.
Check it out if you wish. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2004-Chevro...97.m4902.l9144

So here is another one this is the signature series that was done by the Chevy dealer that Dale E owned. You should all know that I am flattered that this seller acquired the the design that I created when I did the signature series post on the Dale cars back a few years ago.

Well it appears that the Monte Carlo on ebay didn't sell. When you have one like that you probably need to take it to a big auction like Barret Jackson or Mekum or something.
But it has only 1100 miles on it and on the relist they dropped the price from 24K to 22,5K .
