[quote=zzapultimate;451936]I hadn't noticed that.. but now it's going to drive me crazy way to go!!

Honestly, that is a pretty measly gripe :p Digging your 5th gen though!

sorry about that..... if you're thinking the first pic, 5th gen is mine, I wish mine looked that good....... I found that pic online.......

Never been asked if mine was a Lumina... Mustang though, yeah... More frequently then I'd like...

The wheel well thing doesn't bother me, 5th gens don't need them rounded

Same here Someone at work was like "Hey is that a lumina?? Looks great!" I don't see why luminas aren't mistaken for monte carlos. They practically look the same, yet luminas seem to be the name of choice.
Not sure why lumina is the choice name. I was at a part once and people asking what i drive and im like a monte carlo. Then later someone comes around, whoever owns the lumina needs to move it, its in the way. Other guys are like, i thought you owned a monte carlo? im like, it is a monte carlo

And chris, man you gotta get some pics of your 5th gen up here. I wanna see it

more pics.... It's not in the best shape for more pics, but I do like the car alot, it runs pretty good for 142k miles.....


tires/wheels, kinda *** backwards...... I had winter tires put on the bullits that are pictured for use on my 06, but when I picked up the 99 on ebay I used the winter tires/bullits on it.... I have the stock wheels in the basement but they are 16's and I really like the 17's better....... confusing, but it worked out that way.....

Nice looking car chris, those rims really add a nice effect. Your car cant be worse off than mine, mines got quite a few cosmetic problems and i still upload pictures. Just clean 'er up real nice and take a few shots. Maybe the 5th and 7th together. any mod plans for the 5th gen?
