Why you like your Monte.

RE: Why you like you Monte.
Ok, I had a 03, got it because of the styling. 2 doors always look better, and for a 2 door it wasn't exceedingly difficult to get in/out of the back. Trunk is HUGE. I could fit my two 10" subs, AND my brother's wheelchair in it with no problem.
Decent performance for being a big car, I felt safe, and felt that my passengers would be safe. It rides like a big car, without being a real boat like some older cars, and can still take the twisties without being out of place.
Why did I get the 2006? That was pure love at first sight. It was silver, another favorite car color of mine, had 60 more horse, and I'm only paying another 5$ a month for the payment. Plus, to be honest, even though the front end isn't my favorite change for the 2006's, it is a bit more common, which makes it more likely to get thevisual mods that fit both models.

they've tried to put systems like DoD on cars before, like in the 80's-90's i think (not sure on this), and it didn't work out so well. Criag, why dont you get the tuner to turn off the DOD, you could probably turn off the abuse chip as well.

I remember seeing some of the Caddy's in the 1980's having what was called the 4-6-8 engine.
If I remember correctly, it had a driver selectable engine displacement switch. The driver could select either 4, 6, or 8 cylinders.
Didn't work so well, and people didn't like it. I don't think I would like the idea of having 4 cylinders pulling around a huge, heavy,80's Caddy.
Craig, I see your point. Auto manufacturers love to have an excuse to void people's warranties. I wouldn't be "advertising" your mods either.
