Wish U a Safe/Happy Day...EnJoy : )
 
Good Morning/Good Day
to you, (yes U read'in this : ). Wish you a Happy/Safe Day.
The power went `out last eve during a storm, &
just returned about an hour ago. https://montecarloforum.com/forum/im...cons/icon3.gif
We seem to not miss something like electric power until it is gone.
It happens a lot in the area I reside...
Work Van wouldn't start (needs new battery), so I rode
my skateboard 2 `work & dodged the puddles of water.
No coffee 2 kick/start my day, but now I'm drink'in my
first cup of coffee of the day...I am thankful 2 `be...4-Sure.

Now 2 change a few light bulbs that blew when the power returned.

Good Morning!

I have to bring the Monte in for Semi-Annual service this morning at 9:00. So I need to get my butt into over-drive.

Hope everyone is having a great morning so far.

ChibiBlackSheep 05-26-2009 08:22 AM

Good morning all!

Back to work after a very nice and relaxing 3-day weekend.

I got to go up to NYC with my g/f friday-sunday. We saw 3 broadway shows (shrek, in the heights, and blithe spirit) all 3 were very very good. But the highlight of that trip just had to be this little italian restaurant that we ate at. DELICIOUS!!!

Spent yesterday in the sun, washing the Monte, and laying out by our pool for a good 4 hours. Then we went and saw Night at the Museum : Smithsonian. It was good, if you liked the first.

But now it's back to the grind :(

Space 05-26-2009 08:32 AM

:rolleyes:..Hi `Mike, & Welcome back to your MCF Family :), you & your major post contributions were missed over this long weekend.
:eek: WoW, my g/f reads every post, and I'm sure she will be jealous when she reads your experience with your g/f over the weekend.
We envy you, but happy that you can enjoy the many activities that life has to offer. My g/f really wants to go to New York City to see some Broadway shows....I rather go to the Beach or a Race Track : ) lol

We are looking forward to our future & being able to travel & see our world. Oh, did U get burned being out in the sun that long ?
Did U drive your Monte to the Big City ? That would be another type of race from what's I've viewed on the Web...Wish U a good day/week...Thanks 4 sharing....We live through the post of others : )

AwesomeSS 05-26-2009 09:31 AM

Hi all! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and ate plenty of hot dogs :D

We definitely had an interesting weekend for sure. We spent the weekend at my brother's house, grilled hamburgers and hot dogs Saturday night and ended up feeding half the children in the neighborhood. :)

Somehow their house became the gathering spot of all the children in the neighborhood, so at one point there were close to 15 kids outside :eek::eek::eek:

Quite a sight to see I must say!

Sunday night we grilled pork chops and corn on the cob, and again fed most of the neighborhood children. T made lots of new friends and we all had a great time.

Played 18 holes yesterday, shot an 84 :eek:
Need to get back out to the driving range and practice some more :)

rj 05-26-2009 12:15 PM

Here it is vacation day #2 and here I set at the computer talking with my good friends on MCF.

I plan on getting 4 of the '57s out sometime this week for a mini car show in my back yard. :) (that's the plan that is)

Weather man said 50% chance of rain today and tomorrow. Here it is the sun has been out most of the day today.

The Pace car received some damage at some point in the past couple weeks so I thought I'd take to my favorite body shop to see about having the dent (thanks WAYNE!!!!) removed.

Plus some how the rear spoiler decal was damaged? I'm going to contact Phoenix Graphics to see if anyone else has had a problem with this decal?

sprfrk2005 05-26-2009 12:22 PM

Glad to see everyone has a nice full day of stuff to do.... same here i also have a fulls day of stuff to do... working is one of them for from 11-4 then have to rush out of work to go pick up a part for my Monte poor car throwing up all over the place and heating up cuz it cant retain n e water so gotta fix that ASAP sadly cuz of all this i hear my enging knocking more and more something that doesnt sound good.... but hopefully i can get it back to good health...... thinking of finally doing the topswap on it and getting ride off all the headaches for a while but we will see u'll have a great day

Good Afternoon, or Evening everyone! (depending on where you live)

Hope your all having a great day today...

I am just having a normal Tuesday, minus school of coarse, so thats nice...

Just got done having a 2 hour confrence call at work with all the other managers and the owner...My ear hurts! LOL!

The weather here in San Jose, CA is awesome today..about 70 on the dot! 3 more hours till I get to go home...woo hoo!

rj 05-26-2009 05:42 PM

RockinSS (Wayne) didn't do anything to the Pace car. He just pointed out the nice dent in the pass quarter panel someone did to the car. That's why I was thanking him. For pointing that out at the car show on saruday. lol

Not that I'm happy someone did this to an otherwise perfect '03 Pace car cause I'm not. :(

I just hope the body shop can get this ironed out without too much work and even less of a $$$$ charge to me.

I called Phoenix Graphixs a few minutes ago and talked with Chad. He said we made the mistake of washing the car too soon at a powered car wash after installation of the decals. It's been one month exactly on sunday and that's when we washed the Pace car. I didn't want it setting in the garage dirty. Guess I should have hand washed it yesterday myself while the steaks were grilling? Chad said if the decals had been on the car a while longer going to a powered car wash wouldn't have been a problem. Or shouldn't have been.

Who knew???????????? :(

Space 05-26-2009 06:24 PM

Hi R.J., I don't know why :confused: bad things happen 2 good people, but
they do :(
I was taught to learn from the bad in `life, and then move on.
It works 4 me. Sure hope that you can get the few issues/problems
resolved.

The Popcorn King 05-26-2009 07:35 PM

Don't mind me. I'm just here eating peanuts and drinking diet Coke.

i got my new tires today, the service at the shop was great, i went in when they were almost closing and they fit me in. the manager was the one who mounted them and he was really nice and made sure to point out the marks on my rims before he did anything, which i'm kinda glad he did because the front left one has a mark on it which i knew but the front right one also has a little scratch which i didn't know. really very nice and gave me 2 of the nascar posters. i forgot to mention that there's a $20 rebate so after that the total will be about $550. he was gushing over my car, it was kinda funny. he said they don't get many nice ones like that, haha. gotta love the monte love!

Geez. Thanks for the heads up JJ. Gotta remember to never have Taco Bell and milk. What about chocolate milk? Or does that come after the meal. :D (sorry. I think Space is going to put me into a time out for that one.)

LOL at shooting an 84 Honda Civic.

Ouch. Sorry to hear about the ding and decal. You left it for a month. How long did they expect you to wait? When the factory puts decals on a car or truck, they don't tell you to wait before putting your car through a car wash. Hopefully the Pace Car is back to 100% soon. :)


As for my Monte, it's doing good. In addition to a new infusion of Castrol Full Synthetic, it got a brake flush too.

I also found out that the 2000 to 2005 Montes do infact have a passenger compartment air filter. They printed out the replacement proceedure according to the GM service manual. I'll make a How-To thread about it if one doesn't already exist.

Isnt it nice to get compliments on your car...It always makes my day when people compliment me on my car...Just today while I was filling up (which cost $53 bucks! :eek:) I had a guy compliment me on the color of mine, he asked if it was custom, he was shocked to hear it was factory! :D

Well we fed all that came over. There were a few that didn't venture into our neck of the woods. We gave them all random nicknames as well. Like Moto Moto, Achmed, Truffle Shuffle, Thomas the tank engine, etc...

Beats me? He said if the decals had been on the car longer there was less chance of this happening. How long is long enough though?

ChibiBlackSheep 05-27-2009 12:46 PM

84 days, 3 hours, and 2 minutes in direct sunlight for a vinyl adhesive to adhere permanently.

...okay I made that up, but at least I gave an answer :P

The Popcorn King 05-27-2009 12:48 PM

Thats very odd about the decals. I washed my car at the carwash the next day after i put the one on my hood. I even used the power wand on the body and never had a problem with it lifting on me.
