New Ride

I've had and driven just about everything ever made in my 43 years of driving. SUV's are OK, but at least around here, it seems about 50% of the roll overs are SUV's. We had a Durango roll a week ago on the way to work. Problem with them is they are TOO tall and TOO heavy. Going fast is a bad thing if you can't stop and control them. That's what make the Subaru's such a nice vehicle. They have the AWD, but are still low to the ground. It's physics. Center of gravity. It's hard to roll a car, especially the one you just got. Take an 8,000# Excursion and they aren't nimble. They roll in a heartbeat. Same with the Escalades. I've seen more of those 2 vehicles on their roofs than ANY other vehicle. Dozens. People don't know how to drive on icy roads. They feel they are big and safe. NOT! Especially to other cars!
My Intimidator SS is my winter car. It will get parked and insurance pulled after the Monte Nationals, and probably before that too. I wouldn't drive another SUV in the winter no way no how! I like my Monte Carlo!
Stay safe!

Thanks man! I really wish it'd been a manual Twin Turbo but for the price and miles compared to others in Iowa I've seen I had to pick it up. Would've been better if it was black of course but I don't mind the white lol.

Thanks! Considering she's a 95 I didn't think it was in too bad a shape. Of course there's slight blemishes but that's expected with a car of this age. My first fix it on the list is the get a new center console lid mines dried out and has two small cracks in it. There's a few on ebay for around $20 just actually have to set me up a paypal first lol.

Not my Stealth in this post but figured there was no need to start a new thread for this. Just figured I'd throw up a couple pics of my truck with the new rims and mud tires. Since the Stealths the new DD the truck will have less mileage and once in a great while a little fun lol
