Although, I don't think my boss would appreciate if I walked into work smelling like alcohol.
edit: WHOA. when did I reach 1000 posts?!
FINALLY FRIDAY!!!
Had a ton of rain here today (Thursday) ... luckily, we escaped the major flooding. BUT ... holy crapola. Then, friends in IA and MN got deluged with snow. Not sure which I'd rather have.
Friday ... should be good. Have my Nephew & Niece for the day.

This is unbelievable, we had a few flakes of snow this morning and two days ago it was 82*!!!! Lucky for me, I'm about to leave for the beach in Florida (where Space hangs out). I hope all you all with allergies get better soon - my little grandson was miserable all week, the oak pollen is starting & his eyes were almost swollen shut from the itching. Have a great week everybody!! I'll send each Forum member a seashell!!!!
Evening everyone.
I sent a message to GM's official facebook page. It may be a waste of time. But I'm trying my part to get the point across to GM that they need to bring the Monte back to the line-up.
Here's my latest attempt:
I'm a life-long GM vehicle owner. I've owned mostly Chevy's. But also one
Pontiac.
You have a huge following of enthusiasts of many of your GM vehicles.
Notably, the Camaro/Firebird, Corvette, Chevy Trucks. But also the classics.
Like tri-five Chevy's (1955-1957), Pontiac GTO's, and so on. But I think
there's a classic Chevy that needs to be brought back to your line up. The
Monte Carlo.
I'm an active member (and enthusiast) of the Chevy Monte Carlo
community. I'm an administrator of one of the many Monte Carlo enthusiast
websites. (montecarloforum.com) But there are a number of international clubs
and Monte Carlo enthusiast forums/websites. As well as regional clubs all over
the U.S. One of the oldest Monte Carlo clubs is the National Monte Carlo Owners
Association (montecarloclub.com). They have been in existence and having annual
meets since the 1980's. And continue to this day. All for owners of the Chevy
Monte Carlo.
The Chevy Monte Carlo is also know for being the most successful
car in Nascar. Driven by greats like Dale Earnhardt, Jimmy Johnson, Jeff
Gordon, Tony Stewart, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. just to name a few.
All of us in
the Monte Carlo community honestly feel it's time to bring the Monte Carlo back
to the GM line up. Not as competition to the Camaro. The Camaro is a pure
muscle car. The Monte Carlo needs to be brought back as it's original
intention. A 2-door Luxury-Sport vehicle. The Monte Carlo has always focused
more on the luxury side. But also had the power and sportiness to grab the
attention and dedication of millions of Monte Carlo owners since 1970.
I
currently own a 2004 Monte Carlo SS - Dale Jr Signature Series. And intend on
keeping it for the long term. Like many other Monte Carlo enthusiasts, I'm
looking forward to the hopes of a new generation of Monte Carlo. I'm really
hoping I'll be able to drive a brand new, next generation, Monte Carlo home some
day very soon. It's time to return the classic Monte Carlo name to the GM
line-up.
What do you think? Waste of time? I'm not holding my breath. But hoping that the more GM hears about bringing the Monte back, maybe they eventually will. Sooner than later.
