I'll take pics of it later on today after the oil change.

I love the car. Its just an LS, so it has the 3500 engine but it drives super smooth. I drove it from LA to Vegas with the A/C blowing and set the cruise control. I hate to say it, but it drives and handles better then my old 5th Gen.

My dad had a similar problem with his 08 Buick Lucearn (basically the same car but in Buick skin). He was driving me crazy - Amy my tire pressure isn't reading right, Amy can you check the pressure in my tires! He was like obsessed or something. I think he finally took in and no more problems.

...Sorry, I waited and waited, and then I started running around the halls of the MCF & ended up in Teacher Todd's thread, but I will be looking forward to seeing your pic's..
I like the ride of the Impala, and the 3.5 is a great engine.

Oh, When I had my 06 Monte, my tire pressure warning was always coming on until I took it to the dealer...It had a bad sensor : (, but they fixed it under warranty...I really miss my `Monte.....really bad : (

Look'in 4ward 2 my next one....

Mike, I hope you have a great time this weekend. I tried to visit the forum when I had my blackberry pearl. It was such a pain though. That phone was not meant for surfing the net. It did have a great GPS navigator built into it though. Worked better than my dad's Garmin.

Today sucked, just thought I had to throw that out there. No specific reason, just boring and all.. Hope everyone else had a better one.

It's car week in Monterey. Historic races at Laguna Seca, Concourse at Pebble Beach. Car auctions at several hotels. Rallies. And lots of car enthusiasts.

I didn't have time off this week to visit any events, but that does not mean I didn't see any cars. On my way home on the main street into town I saw 2 Ferraris, a Maserati, a Viper, a Ford GT, a 49 Ford, a Lotus, a Rolls Royce, a few Shelby Mustangs and Corvettes. Lots of Corvettes.

None were on a trailers, all were driven. That's the coolest thing about car week, real cars being driven.

But in the years of car weeks I never saw a Thunder'chero. A rare bird. It made me go find a parking spot and walk two blocks back to snap a few pictures. Call me crazy, but it's the best car I saw this week. A last gen Rancho with a T-Bird clip.







I once owned a last gen Ranchero, a 1977 GT. Awsome car.

Side note, a dude with a real camera was taking pictures of cars going by. I stopped in the road to let him snap an example of fine American heritage but he put his camera down. Fool.
