Good Morning All!
Mike, that is a pretty good set up...looks like the best option next to a full on garage.
Should be nice a warm for the winter. At least you get to store it away now. 
I put 1,000 miles on my Monte this weekend. Got stellar gas mileage on my way to and from San Diego (460 miles 1 way), averaged 28.7 on the way down and 31.3 on the way back up, cruise set on 80MPH almost the entire trip with 1 WOT pass.
On the way into work this morning I flipped over to 195K...officially less that 5K until I hit the big 200K mark. YIKES!

Yes Space...the Monte has served me very well and I have confidence it will continue to do so. I have had such limited problems with this car, it's pretty incredible how reliable it been to me...it just lets me drive it and continues to run awesome. I accredit a lot of that to excellent maintenance...but also GM built a very solid car to start with!

Good morning guys.
The Ann Arbor MI Meet was a good time yesterday and the weather finally cooperated and was nice considering the time of year. Five of us made it and my girlfriend stopped by for a while too. I went through the pictures and they turned out nicely; those should be posted either tonight or tomorrow morning.
It was nice to have the car out with some decent weather yesterday and drive it. I've only had it out once since the Clinton Car Show on September 28th. I've put about 2,500 miles on the car this year and yesterday I noticed the car's oil life monitor is only at 75% for this year.
Tadd, hope everything goes well with your Mom. We're thinking of you guys.

Go race someone ?

Hello everyone.
Yes Space... I have been lurking around on the forum today and just now saying hi. Not feeling well today as I think the cold weather has got to me the past two days. I was out Saturday in the cold wind... pulled out garden plants, washed up the tailgating cooler and the tailgating grill. Then Saturday night I breathed in paint fumes till 1:00 am by finishing the Monte's rust spot on the front passenger quarter panel. Still have yet to buff out the clear coat. Sunday I was out in the cold again for the Ann Arbor meet and that was a good time. When I got home Sunday I just could not warm up. Slept in this morning and trying to stay busy here at work. All in all it was a good weekend and worth the cold I have now.

Hi K.C., wish you a feel all better. When is your next Ohio State home game that you will go to ?It's great that you went up to Ann Arbor & met some of your Monte Carlo Family...I'm looking forward to seeing `Matt's pictures.
Take good care of yourself.. I'm just about finished @ work and I'm looking forward to getting `off work & getting outside...
It's a beautiful day out there & the temp's just hit 80 degree's & sunny.
Wish all a great afternoon < `Eve > EnJoy
Hmmm, never posted in a blog on here before... 
Alright, well there's a first for everything so I might as well start now!
What am I doing today? Let's see...
Last year I joined my schools Robotic Club. Yes, that's right, Robotics Club! This is the second year my school has offered it, our first year we got 2nd at State!!
After school today, my team and I are (hopefully) going to finish this year's Robot and have it ready for "Test & Tune"
We have our first qualifier match in West Des Moines this Saturday, and it will be my first meet that I will be attending!
Any MCF members in the area? We'll be up there Friday afternoon, wouldn't mind someone showin' off their Monte to me while I'm up there!
