Thanks Spacerider. I have so far only have had one class today. I have my two other classes pretty soon. The first one seemed good but I will find out soon enough. It is nice to drive the monte but I wish I had a second car. Way to many miles being put on the monte. It is a round trip of 50 miles from home to school. So miles pile up really quick during the school year. Still cheaper to commute then live at school though. Thats a big plus for my pocket.

Hi `Zach, thanks 4 your reply. Just keep you Monte Maintained & it will survive + it's a safe/comfortable 'ride
When U graduate you can recondition yours, or find another Super Super 'Monte 2 enjoy or a New Vette as a new job bonus
Do you have public transportation that you could use to save miles ? (I'd rather drive your Monte instead 4>SURE<)

LOL. Yea, the Corvette is an awesome vehicle for sure. I enjoy the hell out of it every time I start it.

Loving the new Malibu. Very luxurious, smooth, fast and very very comfortable. Took it on a 3 hr drive north Saturday to see some family and then drove back the same day. So stacked on 345 miles and 6 hours of drive time in it Saturday. Averaged 28.7 MPG cruising at 75-80 MPH, with at 20% city driving mixed in. Very happy with the purchase so far. I have a spoiler on order, should be arriving this week. It's the factory spoiler that is optional on the Malibu. Mine didn't have it, so I'm having it put on. Probably going to tint the window relatively soon here too. Other than that, not sure I'll do much more to it.

I'm still sad about the Monte. Friday night I was sulking around missing it, saying I should buy it back and just keep it, etc. But at the end of the day, I know the logical and smart thing to do is just let it go. I'll get over it as time goes on. I doubt I will ever share an attachment with another car the way I was attached to the Monte. I love my other vehicles, but they are just cars to me. The Monte was more a part of my life. It doesn't help that I see it EVERYDAY still the dealer I bought the Malibu from and sold the Monte too is right off the hwy on my way to and from work. And the Monte happens to be sitting right there, last car in the line up facing the hwy. It's behind the gated off area. I think it's probably just sitting there waiting for the wholesalers to pick it up. It doesn't have any for sales signs on it or anything. So, once it's gone for good and out of site, I'm hoping it will get easier to have it gone.

Hi 'Keith, Admin 'Jason & Member's,

Thanks Moderator 'Michael for you update/post.
I hope you post some pic's of your Malibu when it's tinted & spoiler added. I think U R a car guy & will fall in luv with your Vette & your new ride. Don' t 4-get U R helping the economy by keeping the aftermarket auto parts dealers in business

That's decent MPG's you're getting. Wish you good luck with both your super rides

Good afternoon everyone. Still at work and it is still raining. Seems like a good day to work over a while and do some programing. O/T!
