Default Three Happy Years :)

Well today, March 17th, 2010, marks three years of owning my Chevrolet Monte Carlo.

Three years ago today was a Saturday. That morning, my family and I left Oxford, NC and checked out a silver Monte Carlo SS at the Chevy Stealership (an 01) before heading for Raleigh, NC. We ate lunch at Golden Corral in Wake Forest, NC before going to a subdivision off Falls of Neuse Rd. in Raleigh, NC and checking it out for the first time. Superior Blue, 03, with right at 80,000 miles on it... this is the car on that day...

The first two pictures are at that house.. we left a deposit and came back a few days later with the rest of the money.






And this is hte first time the car came up the driveway..

I've driven 26,000 miles in those three years. The first year and a half going 3.5 miles one way to high school didn't rack up many.. now I'm filling up every 2 weeks and going about 90 miles one way to college every weekend.

As soon as Taz gets the Yugo out of storage, I'll make the beer run.

Congrats on the 3 year mark!

My 3 year mark is coming up in June of this year...although by then I will probably put 120,000 miles on mine in 3 years. hahaha! But what the heck, its only about a 1 infront of what you've put on yours in 3 years.
