Well, I finally did it. My son, who I have promised the Monte to since he was 16 (he's now 18) drove off in it yesterday.

The deal we made was whenI felt he was mature enough and a good enough driver he could have it. He has been driving a '92 Crown Vic for the last year, which I hope makes him really appreciate the Monte. He starts college today, so its a pretty special day. I couldn't let him leave without giving him THE SPEECH, you know, how the Monte means more to me that he does, and if he wrecks it and doesn't die in the wreck then I'll kill him when he gets home, watch out for the girls because they absolute love the car so don't let them take advantage of him just for the car, etc, etc. He knows I was just kidding, we are very close. His come back was "don't ask to be using it, it's mine now!"

I hated to let the car go, but he's a great guy and deserves it.

 

 

so, I think you left out a part of the story... like, the part about how your looking for a new monte for you?

 

 

I'm gonna have to get something to satisfy my need for speed...

I've been tossing around the idea of something older, full framed, big block, RWD, maybe 66 - 70 chevelle, Impala, etc. Definately chevy, of course!

I'll still be here. I love keeping up with you guys and your many adventures!At my age most of my excitement comes from watching other people do the crazy thingsI used to do.

 

I hope your son does well at school. And the Monte is in good hands.

Tell him it better not end up looking like this one:

TAZ! warn a person next time before posting horror pics like that!!! Dang, now I'm depressed.

rchurch, good luck to your son and in your search for a MC replacement (unfortunately I don't think it can be replaced, LOL, but try anyway )
