Evenin guys. Just got to Mom's house. Glad to be out of the car. Knocked down 31.6 mpg with the Monte. Not too shabby considering I haven't done a thing to the motor yet. That has me vurious as to what I can get out of it in terms of fuel mileage. My 3800 powered 96 Camaro started out getting 29 mpg and I got it up to 35. Also makes me eonder how it would do with a manual instead of the automatic. Hope everyone is having a good day!

evening all, i've decided to convert one of my sheds into a computer workshop of sorts. It'll have other uses too. Maybe i'll make a topic on the progress. But it'll be nice to have a dedicated place to do my work.

Zach yes you better get moving, winter is fast approaching t minus 29 days

snow can fly at anytime now...i hate the feeling.

i really need to get a starter on it. i have had one for 3 years waiting to put on the white lumina but the black lumina i just got needs it. all i need to do is get a solenoid or something i was told.

i should get my thermostat replaced if i want much heat this winter, not to mention the extra wear and tear and bad mpg. Whats funny is the car came with a spare thermostat, i just dug it up today and it looks brand new, last owner must have looked at the job said f*** that and threw it in the trunk
