These 4 questions can be asked by many different GM enthusiasts for many different cars ... the Monte Carlo, included. I, too, haven't quite understood the "discussions" the Camaro has brought forth already, even before it starts production. *shrugs* I'd rather wait and see what actually is ... than speculate on what might be....

Yeah, I can certainly understand that. Sadly, with my health concerns, a small town, unless "relatively close" to a major hospital, is a bit out of the question.... Ah, well. Hmm...one other thing I want to add ... and I'm not sure I could've written it better myself, so I quote ChevyTalk's DeeGee: "A small town is my hometown, the place I'm from, the community that made me what I am; it's called Ames, and it's in Oklahoma. Oh, and I almost forgot. A small town is where your roots and the roots of a CT member from Illinois can converge in a BBQ restaurant 50 years and many miles later."

I mentioned in the "I can only imagine" thread that I'd love to get a home on the outskirts of town or in the country or in a small town. I've lived "city life" (well, between Chicago-type city life and small town life, anyway) all of my life, except for when I was in college ... and the short time I lived in Nashville TN in 1996. I know some think it nuts to live in a small town, but the following, which was given to me by a family friend years ago, gives some of the reasons why I'd like to live in a small town. Course, room for a big garage ... and the idea of not having many "city ordinances" to contend with ... are big factors as well ... he he.... Life in a small town? If you've never lived there, you're going to read about it and protest, "Aw, get outta here." But, those who do live there would not trade with you. A little town is where... ...everybody knows everybody else's car by sight, and also where and when it goes. [if it is a Monte Carlo in the greater Elgin area, I pretty much know this anyway .] ...when you get the wrong number, you can talk for 15 minutes (at least) anyhow. ...it's hard for anybody to walk to work for exercise, because it takes too long to stop and explain to people in cars who stop, honk, and offer you a ride. ...businessmen struggle for survival against city stores and shopping centers. ...those same businessmen dig deep to help with countless fund-raising projects. ...everyone becomes a neighbor in time of need. ...you don't have to lock your doors. ...some people even leave the keys in the car ignitions.... ...city folks say there's nothing to do, but those who do live there don't have enough nights in the week to make all the meetings and get-togethers. A little town? Believe it ... when all is said and done, it's a nice place to live. How about you ... have any other ways to end the "A little town is where..." sentence?

Even with all of those unrealized dreams to date, I _am_ happy. Thus, the "yes" answer to if I am where I thought I'd be at this point in life... ...have relatively-good health (more or less). ...have 5 Monte Carlos. ...have a job I like (even though it is not completely in my field of interest/expertise). ...have time and money to travel ... if only a fraction of what I'd like. ...have family/friends all over the US, who I see when I travel. ...have done a radio show each of the last 2 Aprils ... hoping to make it a more permanent thing, if I can get sponsors. ...among others....
