Unhappy The time has come to say good-bye

Well the monte was giving me issues this week.. almost stalling and shuttering, take it to the shop to get looked at and.. she runs perfectly fine so they tell me they cant do anything to help me and its running fine. So i pick it up today and all is good till im almost home and she wants to stall on me at the lights. Well i love her very very much theres only so much i can do. So unfortunatley she got traded in today it was a very sad, but happy day for me today i had to leave behind my beautiful sexy monte. On the other hand i traded her in on a Pontiac G8 v6. So far i love the car and the way it looks the monte still holds a huge place in my heart but i figured it was time to move on and get something newer. The G8 is black interior(just cloth) sunroof pw pl keyless entry, remote start, darker red, 34,000 km 2009.

Well, if you're going to trade in the Monte, the G8 is a great car to replace it with.

Quick question though. I had a similar problem with my Monte recently. Turned out to be the fuel filter. Had you already tried that? Or was it just time to move on from your Monte in general? I can understand if you needed to move on to something younger.

That does suck about the Monte, but sounds like you're in a pretty sweet car now.
