BMW, Nissan, Honda, Mazda, Ford, Pontiac, GMC, Cadillac, and Chevrolet. I love 'em all. That's right. I like a nice meal of Steak, Rice and Sauerkraut. It sometimes doesn't go down all too well, though.

I'll miss the Monte Carlo. I might live in Bakersfield, but I am no redneck! I will miss it because no matter how mediocre the car, the name last a loooong time and there were several cars worthy of the Monte Carlo name.
I'll never forget my great-grandma's 1977 Monte Carlo...that was such a nice car.
On a side note, I want

RE: The LAST Monte
I found the comment, "I like a nice meal of Steak, Rice and Sauerkraut. It sometimes doesn't go down all too well, though." rather amusing.
Let them drive their import tuners, their "ultimate driving machine", or whatever they want to drive.They can drive a rocket powered unicycle for all I care. Not everybody has the same taste. There's no need to stereotype and insult people.
BTW... I wasn't upset about the comments. I found them funny actually.
