RJ, with the miles being put on the Pace Car. I can understand why people like to trailer their car to shows. But you risk having people call your car a "trailer queen". If you can live with the label, fine. But on the other hand, driving the car is more fun. 
We did get to use my dad's pickup the last trip with helped with miles on the Pace car. And it's going to take a truck for a couple more trips to MI to retrieve stuff up there. Renting a U-Haul will be in the range of $200 so unless we REALLY need one, that's kind of out. I thought of offering a friend lunch plus gasoline if he hauled some stuff back for us.
On the 06 LTZ -- how many batteries have you gone through on that car so far? Aren't you on the 3rd battery now?

the radio lights are all burnt out
the console lids are all broken,
one rear speaker is blown and sounds terrable but only on very humid days,
the a/c looses its charge after a few weeks,
lifter tap makes it sound like a diesel
its got dents & dings everywhere from the stuped PO
my junkyard tires are starting to dry- rot
gas guage dosent work
its STILL got a dead spot in the throttle that comes & goes as it pleases
but you know what?
im not doing a damn thing about ANY of that crap, 'caus as of right now its all trivial BS. the car's been good to me, lasted over a year, great on fuel, no check engine lights, and i run it about 60 miles a day without any issues. i can deal with the stuped lil things as long as it keeps treating me as good as it has so far!

I finally got my pioneer in and it seems that the right side of it doesnt go into the dash kit all the way, Its one of those things that you cant see untill you notice it, then once you notice it, it KEEPS DRAWING your eyes to it.
Then put my new muffler tips on yesterday and this morning my wife gets in to go to work and I notice one of them is in a little more than the other one!!!
I know you guys probably have bigger problems, but this is getting to me.
I wonder what other fitment issues im gonna come across

I think most of us here are like that.
Some psychologists would say that how you take care of your car is a sign of how you take care of yourself. But whatever. I don't think that's necessarily the case.

This thread's sole purpose is to let you vent about any problems you are having with your monte lately. Whether is a mechanical problem, a cosmetic problem or just something that overall ticks you off about your monte. Let it all out and dont hold back. We all need to let off some steam.
Ill start it off. I found out today my water pump needs replaced. I am hemmoraging coolant every time the car is running. I also need to replace my a/c compressor and its going to be in the high 90s this weekend! WHY???????!!!!!! I also rolled around under the hood and under the dash of my monte trying to get the fog lights to work again, only to find out that Hella's design for their fuse holder sucks you know what and my fuse was arching and not making a good connection in the holder.
