*shakes head* All sorts of rumors ... and seemingly no concrete evidence either way. I won't believe anything until I see it... ;).

*grins devilishly* I'll believe it when I see it..... So, what day(s) are we looking at going here?

*nods* I agree. Course, I'm also interested in why Phelan wrote that the Solstice will solidify Lutz's legendary status. Isn't he legendary already? *shrugs* Cort, "Mr Road Trip" / soon2be ex-"Mr MC", 31swm/pig valve/pacer MCfamily.models.HO.chdQB = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/ MC Guide = http://www.chevyasylum.com/mcspotter/main.html IL & area MCs = http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/imcog/ MC's future = http://www.projectmonte.com/petition/ "My depth perception must be off again" ...

Perhaps. But, if that's the case, I think the silver accents will look a bit out of place with the tan interior.... *shrugs* But, that's just my tastes....

*chuckles* GM ads ... and then competitors, too. He he he...an online "war of ads" ;) Cort, "Mr Road Trip" / soon2be ex-"Mr MC", 31swm/pig valve/pacer MCfamily.models.HO.chdQB = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/ MC Guide = http://www.chevyasylum.com/mcspotter/main.html IL & area MCs = http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/imcog/ MC's future = http://www.projectmonte.com/petition/ "My depth perception must be off again" ...

Hey Josh, What are those dates? Depending on when the C&G meet is scheduled, I may head up to Detroit for it...we'll see.

*raises eyebrow curiously* Are you serious? What on earth could "NASCAR regulation related issues" have to do with releasing the '06 mc? Certainly it does not have to do with which wheels are driving the car...heh. An interesting development, nonetheless, if it IS true.... Looking forward to learning more about this...heh.

See, I _think_ (or, rather, I want to believe) that this is a situation where we just haven't seen pictures of the wood interior trim. I noticed on the malibu and the impalas I've seen as of late, the wood trim comes with the tan/neutral interior and the chromish trim comes with the grey/dark interiors. All of the pictures of the '06 monte carlo have been with the dark grey or black interior.... I haven't seen any with the lighter/neutral/tan interior yet. Thus, my _hunch_ is that the mc does get wood trim ... for the tan interiors.... At least, I hope I am guessing correctly....

Yeah, I always liked the Olds Alero, too. For whatever reason, though, I always liked the sedan version better than the coupe...not sure why....

Nope. Just as with the '95-'99s, I like the body style ... just not a Monte Carlo. Still needs RWD and, for the '06, the MC Knight Crest/Shield emblem. The '00-'05s at least had the emblem. The '95-'99s need that (emblem and RWD) plus the bodylines of some sort. *shakes head*

I wondered about that rear deck when I saw the pic last night, but I was tired and thought perhaps my perception was a bit off...he he he. Glad to know I was right, anyway :). I believe we have a HL in our area ... I'll have to try to track that place down this weekend...and pay them a bit of a visit ;).

*sighs* I really want to write something good about this....

*shakes head in disbelief* I happened to catch more pictures of the greater New Orleans area...as well as other areas hit hard by Katrina. Very disturbing, to put it mildly. Thoughts/prayers continue for those affected the most by Katrina.

The pictures I've seen are just ... overwhelming. Thoughts/prayers to all those affected by Katrina.

Wow...NICE!!!! I have that '76 Olds, too. Very nicely done, imho. I would love to get that blue Olds T (I think that's what it is) and the '80s Olds....but, haven't seen either of 'em anywhere :(.

*shrugs* Then I'd venture to guess that those people that are tickin' other drivers off do not really know how to handle the RWD vehicles. I get along just fine with my RWD Monte Carlo and my sister does just fine with her RWD S-10. Period. NO snow tires, NO chains. *shakes head*

*grins* I know the feeling ... all too well ... 'cept, I may _have_ to be cured of it soon :(. Currently, though, I've 5 Monte Carlos ... yes, all running.

Nah...cool :). Funny thing is, at the time, my parents had a '68 Impala SS. It wasn't until 1976 (when I was about 3) that the Monte Carlo entered the picture for our family.... And, GM1 ... the year of the Citation and the Phillies, eh? Interesting...very interesting....

*nods* Thank you for the compliment on my "baby girls". The links are for all of my cars, well, at least, for now.... I don't need a '06 mc. Would just be nice to have a new Monte Carlo with RWD and V8 option, along with the bodyline characteristics and knight crest/shield emblem...that's all :).

Heh...perhaps. Let's hope we don't have to find out, eh?

*raises eyebrow* Oh really? You obviously missed an important point in that post of mine ... she has had NO (I repeat, NO) problems in snow. In other words, she hasn't been stuck in a snow bank....

Wow. What interesting assumptions, reg. These show you obviously do not know my sister. At all. She takes off quicker from a stoplight than some guy drivers I know. People (guys mostly) honk their horns at her for other reasons.... And, sorry, nothing in the bed. *shakes head* People and their assumptions amuse and anger me at the same time.

I was born in September of the year that the Chevrolet Monte Carlo was named Motor Trend Car Of The Year ... 1973. Coincidence? Perhaps.
