interesting tint. i don't love the rims, but they definitely could be worse.

is the front a completely different color than the rest of the car, or is that just me?

Good mornin'!

That Monte looks like 100 clowns are about to pile out of it. I think I may have seen him around too. Luckily, we don't get many of those around here. Unluckily, we got a lot of VW infestation instead. I don't know which is worse.

Morning everyone.

Ok, so i totally suck at making a blog thread. But atleast Taz jumped in to help this "Morning".

Yes Chris. I need my coffee. I've been drinking it since i was a baby. Literally.

Jamie. I own that movie. Loved it ever since it came out years ago. Even Jonny loves that movie.

I'm with you all about the 87 being very nice. And the other one. Well, lets just say that it has nice......um......door handels. Ya thats it. Door handles. Your right Jamie. The nose is a different color.

All i have in store for today is just relax and wait for the pool to open up and dive in. Then grill me some burgers and get a good night sleep cause i am still a little light headed from being awake almost 24 hrs yesterday. Its my curse.

Thought i would add a diff flavor to this thread by putting up a nice 5th Gen Z34.

1997 Monte Carlo Z34
VIN:
2G1WX12X6V9269177
Stock #: 800053C
Mileage: 107,190
Engine: 3.4L V6
Transmission: Automatic
Title: Clear



This Monte Carlo is in great shape for a 1997 model year. It has a 3.4L V6 providing 215HP through a 4-speed automatic transmission. Everything runs well. It has a leather interior with a six way power driver's seat and power windows, mirrors, locks and wireless entry. The tires have plenty of tread remaining (probably over 80%) and are pictured.

The engine runs fine and starts without hesitation and the transmission shifts without a problem. However, there is a slight grind when the brakes are applied and a wheel bearing may need to be replaced in the rear.

The exterior does not have any major blemishes. There are two dings which I could not photograph with the provided lighting (overcast); one on the top of the trunk lid as well as one one the passenger's side quarter panel. They are not very noticeable. There are a few chips along the replaceable door guards and a few on the hood and front bumper. Many of these are pictured and nothing is major. The headlights appear to have some scratching on the front but otherwise look fine. Some of the pin striping is cut.

The interior is in very good shape. The seats aren't worn heavily and are very comfortable to sit in. The carpeting is good and the headliner is free of tears, stains or sagging. The driver's side door panel appears to have some of the plastic melted along the armrest about 1/4" in diameter.

This would make an enjoyable first car and/or daily driver.

Hello MCF Members, I was suppose to make a post for Space yesterday, but I did not have his password for his account. I found his old account password to spacerider and it worked. Space left Wednesday night with his boss and should return tomorrow or Sunday. Sorry for the delay. We wish everyone a Happy fourth of July - Weekend.
