Love the Citation!!! Haven't seen one in YEARS!!! Growing up, my parents owned a blue one brand new around when I was born and then a burgandy one (not new) and a white Pontiac Phoenix (also not new, the Pontiac version of the Citation for those not familiar with it).
Anycase, my daily driver these days is a '04 Grand Am GT with the SC/T package (ram air hood and different spoiler). Previous to that was a black '02 Grand Am GT and previous to that a '94 Grand Am SE (drove that guy for 9 years).
The v6 (3100 and 3400) Grand Ams have been good to me and my family over the years. And right now the '04 I own is a gorgeous orange, I always loved the orange with the ram air hood and this one came about after I wrecked my '02. Hopefully I will have many years of happy driving with this one.

I was even crazy enough to drive the Citation from my hometown in Central Montana, all the way to Phoenix, AZ and back last May and it did just fine! But now, it's gotten pretty long in the tooth after that drive (probably never went that far in it's life, I bought it from an old man who used it for a town car grocery-getter basically) and probably would't make the trip again. Hence the reason I have the Monte now!

I don't have a Monte (haven't in two years) but I have three cars right now.
1993 Suburban (my daily driver but will be replaced in a few months with a heavy duty truck)
1973 Camaro Z28 (the one in my sig. It'll be getting a new motor later this year)
1978 Camaro RS (I'm gathering up parts to install a 4L80E that I already have so I can get it back on the road)
Once the 78 is back on the road, it'll handle a good chunk of the DD duties due to fuel mileage. Before the TH350 went out, I was getting a little over 20MPG combined (2.73 gears help that). I imagine that will improve with the addition of overdrive. I'm hoping to do better than 25MPG on the highway once that transmission is installed. My next truck will probably get a CNG conversion at some point. CNG is plentiful out here and it costs half of what unleaded costs out here. Due to how clean it burns, it'll also mitigate a lot of carbon buildup.

I also drive this 2005 Nissan Altima with 89000 mile on her. 250HP under the hood, kinda puts my Ol YellaJAC to shame. ALMOST! But Ol YellaJAC is an upper midsized coupe. More trunk space, more leg room all the way around and "I have a Sun Roof" :-p Overall though it's not a bad cars. Gets good gas mileage and the Ol Lady Loves it. And if it makes her happy then I'm happy. I think???????
