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.

Heh....How'd you know?

Let's see.... Volo Auto Museum (Volo IL) Cars of the Stars (Nashville TN) I'm sure I've been to more, but can't think of 'em right now....

*nods* Yeah, I agree with this, more or less. But, I'd bet that if GM/Chevrolet brought the Camaro back in FWD fashion, there would be a bunch of unhappy enthusiasts....

Heh. Simple: Bring back the Monte Carlo ... RWD, please. Oh, yeah, it has to have the characteristic bodylines and, of course, the knight crest/shield emblem. But, I know...way too much to ask.

...and that is why I rarely buy CDs of single artists anymore. I have, maybe, a handful of CDs that are only 1 artist that I can listen to the whole thing through without skipping any songs. But, most of the ones I have, sadly, are ones that I bought because I like 1 or 2 songs on the whole album. Not a very efficient way to handle money ;). Was at a home tonight where the family has a computer CD program (grr...can't remember what it is called right now) whereby it catalogs all of their CDs and plays any song you want at the touch of a button. I need to invest in something like that ;).

Change "Buick" to "Chevrolet" ... and you have my sentiments exactly.... *sighs* I think part of the reason I may sell my 5 MCs is because the current stuff isn't anything I'm interested in.... Sad, isn't it? Anyway...regarding Martha Stewart and Buick...not sure how well that'll go over. I'd think the Martha Stewart brand connection is a bit dicey considering recent history, but then again ... well, ya just never know. Sometimes, recognition/media attention can spark interest/enthusiasm. Guess we'll see.

*nods* Thank you, Satty! I have, as you can tell, rather eclectic tastes in music. On top of that, I seem to have a "library" of quotes that I can pick'n'choose from as the situation/mood warrants ;). Yep! Still, I prefer the CDs that are "mixed" ... i.e. greatest hits or, better yet, CDs with multiple artists. Sometimes, I get tired of hearing the same artist for a half hour or hour at a time.... *shrugs* But, that's just me ;).

...and yet, seems more pick-up trucks (RWD, btw) and RWD Cadillacs are on the roads these days.... *shakes head* My sister's vehicle is a '97 S-10 ... RWD, btw ... and manual transmission. It's her daily driver. And, yes, she has driven it the last 7 years ... all year round ... in snow. No problems. *pauses* Ya know...we haven't heard from those interns recently. Hmmm.....

*grins* If only I _had_ that juke box ;).

*chuckles* You'd ban me for that? Heh...if I sell 'em, you won't see me around much anymore anyway.... *sighs* I just can't win....

*nods* Yep!

Yeah, reg, I know you directed that Q to brew, but figured I'd chime in for reference. For the last 2 winters, I've driven my RWD 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LS in the winter with the stock all-season tires ... no change to winter tires ... and have had no problems.

*chuckles* No worries, LA!

Heh. I have one, thank you. Maybe you didn't see my post about my 2-week road trip? ;) I didn't type all of that out tonight ... I have that saved as a file for reference ... which I add to whenever I hear a song that means something to me, in whatever way....

Hmm....sounds to me like GM has some touting to do....

Oooo...let's see here....
