Here's my Monte Carlo SS, it's an 05 supercharged, with a beefier macpherson suspension, this was an absolute dream car to me, 240hp was plenty for this land yacht, but i sold it to buy my Firebird, (400hp in an almost 40 year old car seemed more enticing at the time) that engine bay, niiccceeee! Bet that thing is an animal!! What do you do for work Lenny?

Ok. I should be posting pictures of my own car here but I had to sell it, in lieu of an automatic, so that the kids could learn to drive. There is limited parking where we live, and to be fair, it did have a little better than 485, 000 miles on it. I still miss it. But, Meg has had an interesting run with the car she got to go back and forth to school. By that I mean plasti dip! For those of you unfamiliar with this process, it's a protective coating that's cheaper than painting your car. Unless you do it 2 or 3 times like Meg, then you may have just as well painted it, lol. It started out white... Then became Maroon... But that guy did a crappy job so she took it to someone else, who then made it a light chameleon blue: Like this: That in the background btw, is an abandoned Mental Hospital! Meg and her cousin often explore there! Good place for her, ya think? (Click all pics to enlarge.)

After tiring of the light chameleon blue, she finally settled on the color I suggested first, and now she's finally happy! Kids, go figure! An interesting note about plasti dip, if done correctly, it just peels off when you want to change it. Also, the color on your car registration never changes, because when you open the door, you see the original color on the inside. Saves alot of money on fees for re-registering your car. In Megs case, so you can spend it on another color!
It is a really nice cobalt blue though! :

Haha, i don't do anything special for work, we're just very good at saving money i guess? i had 2 jobs for a little while that helped out buying parts. And we finally see the Meg-Mobile! I've had plenty of run-ins with plasti-dip, it's actually pretty neat, usually emblems, wheels hoods, door handles and little things though, never a full car.

means that Horse power? 247Hp then Not bad at all but probs needs it for a thing that size lol actually its weight lifted^^ just bec of the size^^ I only have 3 seats in it, aint need the others mostly. Climate control is not plugged in, i use it only for the kids on longer trips. I dnt like wasting power for conditioned air^^. But in the end a car for me theese days is only a way to get my bike and family/friends to far away spots^^ I got my license 15 years ago and started with an customized ford escort rs cosworth. That went well half an year, then i had an accident caused by speeding. I was lucky, noone was hurt. I was saving money four years to afford it, never partyed, had several jobs and smashed it all on one day. Plus (which is the worst point) i could have killed others. I canceled my motorcycle license test, bec somehow i understood that i will not get old if i start ride a motorcycle the way i was driving back theese days. I`d better focus on two wheels without engine which went well for me^^ Guess that was the right decision because im still alive^^ The only vehicle that im riding regardless theese days is my downhill bike^^ But i definetly still have a favour for well customized gems like the cars from Lord & Ethos. Guess im getting to far from point
