Hi Mod `Mike,
I hope that you can pass your inspection & be able to find a shop that can repair the rust area's at a reasonable price.
I guess you could bribe the inspector What ?

It's sad that there is so much dishonesty in our World, but it
seems that many will sell their `soul, integrity 4 $'s

I think all vehicles on the road should be inspected, but I know there is a Big Cost to have safe vehicles on the road, but it sure can hurt when it's your ride. I wish you the best & I hope that you can resolve the issues with your Monte..

Have you checked out your Camaro's under-body ? I hope it's strong with no rust issues...*Note, we also have salt issues in Florida `if one lives ocean-side...Salt is a killer to vehicles 4-Sure "The Stress of owning/driving a nice Ride in 2days World" Peace/Out from `Space

I Know it is important to have a safe vehicle on the road. But I feel like this is a little TOO strict in PA lol. I know the issue is there, I just want to be able to drive the Monte legally at least once a week. Nothing crazy, it isn't going get 1000s of miles racked up on it while it is "unsafe". I just need more than a month lol.

I had the Camaro fully inspected when I purchased it, and the mechanic said that for its age, and the fact that it was a NJ car, everything is really clean (rust-wise). He said it was a very solid car. I should have no issues keeping it for a couple years to beat on.

 

Hey Space... Talk about dishonesty. Water pump on the Black '98 3.1 bit the dust. Shop in town wanted $ 520.00. I decided to do myself. Went to Autozone & got a Brand New lifetime warranty replacemet for $ 20.70 + a gallon of Dex cool $13.00. Started @ 7:00 A.M. Saturday morning & fininded bleeding out the air pockets at 9:30. Hardest part was trying to get the old gasket cleaned off !! Saved $ 486.30. HELLO !!

Hope everyone is having a great Day!

Mark in Kansas.

 

Morning all. hope everyone has a good day. We should hit about 60's here today.
Kerry It really does make you feel good seeing all the people who knew and cared about a lost loved one. Keep your head up buddy.

Rick I hate waiting in traffic. I'm glad I don't live somewhere where there's stop and go traffic everyday.

Morning All,

It's been a while since I was on the MCF. Business trip followed by family vacation have kept me very busy that last few weeks.

Chibi - Sorry to hear about the rust issues on your Monte. I feel your pain. Had similar issues years ago with an old Blazer. Luckily our Monte has spent most of it's life in the South without road salt to contend with.

Having a new issues with the wife's Monte (turn signals) as of yesterday. I'll post more in 'General Tech'.

Hope everyone has a great Monday.

 

Hi `Dave, & Welcome back to your Monte Carlo Family.
You've been missed...I hope that you had a successful business trip & a SuperSuper well deserved vacation...
