nice to get a raise. congrats all.

So Taz--It was a hoax!

We just signed a new contract at work last week. Our last contract had us with a two year wage freeze. This new one has our wages frozen for another two years. Then a 25 cent raise. So no Camaro SS for me.

Lou, I am looking to sell it because it has value and I really don't like paying 100 a week to drive the suburban around town. I can always buy another one. Here is what mine looks like.

Very nice Todd! Looks 1000% better than the Hello Kitty one. $100 a week for gas would make me consider a different daily driver too. As it is now, it costs me $50 to $60 a week in gas for my Monte. But our gas here in Windsor is over $5 per gallon.

ahhh brings me back to the days of driving the monte getting 9mpg with the wiped out cam, i'd spend $50 to drived it back n forth from work and end up putting another $50 in on weekends, i was spending a good $4-500+ a month on gas

I'm putting the summer wheels and tires back on the car in the morning. So that should help the gas mileage a little. Snow tires kill gas mileage.

A winter beater would be nice. But the Monte is my only car. Can't afford a winter beater. So it's snow tires for the Monte.
