Awww that happens to me all of the time! I loveeee it bcuz that's totally what I'm going for

When a father has his kid go around to the trunk to see what the car is as they're leaving lol true story, happened in Pensacola during the Blue Angels homecoming last November. I saw the dad in the Blazer, then the kid ran around to my trunk & called out "It's a Monte Carlo" it was awesome for some reason to me

When your late to work because you had to wait 10 minutes for your security light to go off because the Passlock system is garbage.

True story
My wife took my Monte out with some girlfriends and and some random chick at the bar was telling her guy friend that she could beat my car .So as my Wife told me it was on!!! and they went out to old Airport road it is a great back road drag 1/8 mi and 1/4 mi marked out.

When your wife gets challenged to race a v6 Mustang and wins and then there friend tells her that his Ford Explorer an beat you and she wins that 2 " double looser"

This all happened wile I was at home sleeping soundly thinking my Monte was safe untill I heard about it the next day. She (my wife ) said and I Quote "I knew I wasn't going to loose " LOL

Non-Monte related story, but similar.

Before my youngest sister got married she always bugged me to drive my first car. So this one friday night she wants my car, her car in exchange. Not that I minded a fast as h3ll '68 Plymouth Sport Satillite convertible.

So I'm headed in to town, and suddenly I see my car fly past me racing someone else headed out of town.

LOL man I don't mind a little light to light race every once and a wile but it is my car and i don't drink it just kind of bugged me that they were racing after a bar night and on the funner side that the guy that was there really thought that his 91 ford Explorer was faster than the v6 mustang and my car . He must had been drunk and or stupid he had just seen the girl loose to my wife

When there's a spot right in front of the store, yet you park in the back of the parking lot, and constantly look at your car as you walk across the parking lot.

I've had all those happen to me too. Including me turning and staring at my Monte in store parking lots. Walked into a parked car once with people watching. So I try not to do it anymore. But you know, sometimes you just can't help yourself. :p

Had similar comments made to me by young kids too. Usually during pit stops at 7-11. (Just realized I used the "pit stop" reference. Oh well. )

A lot of people see my plate and assume my name is Dale. I just smile politely and wave. Don't feel like explaining why the name Dale Jr is all over the car. And if they don't know, I'm pretty sure they don't care.

Okay, here's my contribution:

You know you drive a Monte Carlo when you see a 6th gen Monte without a spoiler, and think how much better it would look with one.

When you're in the front of any line (traffic or drive through) and consider yourself in pole position.
