Picked her up... Mom doesn't get the Impala out as much as it should be so I swap with her for a week every month, give or take. So the Impala has a chance to get it's legs stretched and the Monte gets a break from Columbia's rush hour traffic.

I am getting ready to take care of some 100,000 mile service a little early. Gonna get together with a tech from work and put on new rotors, change the oil and drop the trans pan and change the filter

Alright, now is a better time than any, i just cant hold it in anymore, IM TURBO'D. Its a small turbo from some forign somthing, friend did it for 1200 with a boost **** or whatever you call it. Its only making 3 psi, but when we get the new injectors in we're thinking we can go up to 5 psi. Injectors are getting put in tomarrow btw. I dont know if 1200 was worth it but im happy with it, I think (just by feel) it gave me about 40hp to the wheels. Oh... DUH, upgraded the trans also. Also did some new tuning to the pcm also. LOL, gonna need new tires within a week too. Will get pics as soon as I get a camera.

Cool. Really hope to see you driving the Jimmy soon.

Today I drove the Monte like I stole it. It was fun to open it up for a change.
