Rick, you definitely need your nap now. I'm not sure how you do that after drinking coffee but I know you do. My phone's working now so I'm in a better mood after a stress-filled night and getting-nicer morning. The sun's out and it's up to 40* here - not as cold as Minnesota but still cooler than it's been. When I brought my grandson home he kissed the Monte as we walked by! So that's ONE reason I'm feeling happier. He also likes to point to the painted door sill and say "Monte Carlo" - he's only 2 and learning to read!

 

Ugh I need more coffee....Long day and still a long way to go.

 

stopped by the garage to ask about my montes engine problem. Mechanic thinks i have a problem with the MAF sensor, going in for a cleaning tommorow, cleant he MAF sensor and the throttle body. Also going to check and see if a tune up was done recently or not. The list of issues is a bit lenghty...

 

It was raining earlier but now the sun is shining and the temp is 80 degrees. I think I am going to pick a few oranges from my orange tree. It is a young tree and there are only two. I hope we don't have a cold winter. I would like my citrus trees and my banana trees to produce this next year. I have a few papaya that should ripen soon too. The cold killed some of my trees last season because they are young trees and it wipes out the banana trees too although they come back but. Have to cut them down to the ground.
I too have sinus issues, but I have them almost all year long because of my allergies. I hate taking my allergy drugs. The drugs help when I take them but it doesn't completely wipe out the symtoms of the allergy.
I too like the Chrysler 300n though I don't like the remodel that was done for 2011. I eventually. I will own one of the LX cars. It will probably be one of the Magnum wagons though.
Angie I too have a love/hate relationship with my phones. Love them when they work, hate them when they don't and I loose my text that I type. I have a Blackberry Tour and the I-phone 4S. I have not got used to the apple yet.

 

Afternoon Everyone,

Space I love the new SRT8 300c there a pretty badass sedan

 

Chrysler... :yawn:

 

i love the look of the new 300's, 25mpg highway from the 5.7 hemi isnt bad either.

 

afternoon everyone! i hope everyone is well. its a beautiful day here in florida today. i actually picked up a job at UPS this morning. so i will be doing that on weekdays and working in my current kitchen job on weekends. mods for monte may come quicker then before now

 

hahahahaha...

My Father-in-Law would make my life hell (well, more than usual) if I parked a Chrysler in the driveway/garage. He worked in the automotive business all his life and always hated Chryslers for some reason. His advise on any new car question is always, "... just don't get a Chrysler'.

Personally I have no issue with them. I've driven the 300 (not the newest model) and a few Chargers while on business and thought they both drove / handled quite well. Never had the chance to drive a Challenger yet.

 

I'll wait to see the verdict on the transmissions. Chrysler has had transmission issues with their automatics for years now. I've seen far too many of them blow prematurely to ever trust any Chrysler product with an automatic. They also had brake issues for quite a while. Motors were great, trannys were crap though. Because of those issues I'll stick with GM and Ford. I'd consider a newer Nissan as well since those are built here (and well built at that). Older ones (this goes for Toyota and Honda as well) used to rust terribly because of the sub-par metals they used in the bodies. Done with most of my stuff around town now, gonna finish packing and probably leave in about 45 minutes or so.
