*chuckles* Ah, Camino ... you know me ... TOO well . That MC sure is nice ... can hardly believe the price on it ...hmmm..... *pauses* Actually, death would be too easy ...

1976 Monte Carlo. My parents bought it when I was 3 years old ... replacing Dad's old 1968 Impala SS. A few weeks after they bought the '76 MC, I was pointing at other MCs and saying "arlo". Over the years, that car became "mine". When I was old enough ... that car got a weekly car wash EVERY Saturday morning. I'd get up early just to wash it. In 1984, my parents replaced it ... very very very sad day indeedy.

Oh my yes! I didn't get a chance to take a tour, but I was in Golden CO for a few days in October 2004 as part of an annual gathering with one of my heart-related boards.

First and foremost ... to those who ARE participating ... THANK YOU! It appears prizes coaxed a few more participants ... but, not many. The number of participants is lower than I thought it would be, given the number of comments/requests to do more trivia after previous years' games ... and the various posts/threads that show everyone's knowledge about the Monte Carlo.... So, be that as it may, I apologize to anyone irritated by this thread/the trivia ... the goal was NOT to be a pest, but to do something fun, especially since we are all posting anyway.... That written, to keep the "pest level" to a minimum, I may simply PM/Email the participants the correct answers and notify the prize winners as well in the next few days....

*nods* EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!! The drive home from work on Friday took me just about an hour and 15 minutes (normally 45 minutes) because of the snow and icy/click conditions. BUT, I had NO problem in my RWD '87 MC LS. Yeah, the car slid a bit at times, but I was able to keep it under control and had no problems. Oddly, a FWD Ford Taurus sliding off into a ditch caused a major backup.....

Heh ... interesting. And, you're right ... MCs are always round gauges. From what I understand, base El Caminos and Malibus have rectangular gauges, with the circular ones for performance models....

REMEMBER: ALL answers MUST be posted IN THIS THREAD. If you have sent me Emails or PMs with the responses, PLEASE post your answers in this thread so they can be counted! Last time I had people send me answers privately, I ended up with a few "questions" about the actual scores. So, this way, all of the answers are seen along with the tallies.... Answer ALL questions ... non answers/no response to an Item WILL be considered an INCORRECT response. For "Jeopardy!" Items/Bonus, all replies MUST be in the form of a question. For "Wheel Of Fortune" Items/Bonus, the letters PRNDS and E, as well as MC, OA are given. NAME EXPLANATION: This version of Monte Carlo trivia is called "6 Sampler" because, originally, each generation was represented with 1 Item.... EXTRAS: ...but, now, I'm adding 3 Bonus Items! Point Values... Bonus 7 = +270, -7 Bonus 8 = +600, -8 Bonus 9 = +910, -9 Bonus 7 "Jeopardy!": In 2006, Sheryl Crow's song "Real Gone" was the first heard in this animated hit film, which featured a character named Darrell Cartrip (a 2nd generation Monte Carlo) and highlighted Route 66. Bonus 8 "Wheel Of Fortune": In November 1975, CW McCall's song "Convoy" debuted. It spent 6 weeks at #1 on the country charts and 1 week at #1 on the pop charts. The song also inspired a movie of the same name, starring Kris Kristofferson. Complete the line from the song. _ E _ O N N A R O _ _ _ _ _ S _ R _ C _ _ N ' C O N _ O _ A C R O S S _ _ E _. S. A. Bonus 9 Visual Multiple Choice: Choose the statement that BEST describes the wheels seen on this 1976 Monte Carlo: http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/newpics/DSC07677r8_jpg.html a ... They were only available on 2nd generation SS models. b ... They are known as Turbine wheels. c ... They are after-market wheels, first made in 2006 for the 30th anniversary of the 1976 MC. Be sure to get YOUR responses POSTED ASAP on ALL of the ITEMS, INCLUDING the BONUS ITEMS (especially those of you who've already posted your responses for the original 6 Items)!
