VERY SHARP
Pretty nice car for a 16 yr old! I do like the black on black, also. I prefer the chromes myself, but if they're painted, I like the black better.
What do you want to do after school? Kettering University is right there, and that's a pretty good school for auto buffs. I grew up in Corunna, just west of you, and I sometimes wish I'd gone to GMI, which is gone now, but I believe that's what Kettering is now.
We hire 16 yr olds at our shop on co-op. When they turn 18, then they go full time, and also work full time in the summer. I'm a tool and die moldmaker. 34 years. Mostly car parts, but some medical and electronic and electrical stuff also.
haha yea the monte was my moms until she got a new chrysler 300 and my parents gave me the monte.
ive thought about going to kettering, my aunt and uncle work there for chemistry/biology, somthing like that..... but yea after school i would like to do something in the automotive industry.

Very nice choice of rims. What a great Christmas gift! I'm sure you deserved it.
Tinting is always a must in any of my cars. But I was told that tinting is frowned upon in the state of Michigan. Is this true?

ummm im not to sure but i do see a lot of cars around with tint. im going to have to talk to a local shop or something to find out.
but i wouldnt be surprised at all if people get pulled over a lot because here in grand blanc the cops are quite strict and will get ya for anything.

Wanna laugh? I had to pull the Driver-side rear wheel this afternoon to crawl underneath the Monte and give her a new Fuel Filter. I found-out that my rims ain't fake looking Mags. They are the real deal. I'm psyched to clean them all up and get them shining again ... but, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until after this Winter. Imagine thinking you have wheel covers only to find-out they are the real deal!
Lucky me!
I guess.

I think I speak for a few people when I ask:

I tried adding a picture of the Vinyl Top to a Post and the Site said it was too big for the download. I have a new iMac and I'm not too good with the Pictures Part yet. I'll get it figured out. I got those Plugs in the back side. I figured that out. It shouldn't be too hard to figure-out how to Upload a Photo of a Car ... right?
I have iPhoto and HP PhotoSmart II

Those rims look great! And with the tint, you'll have a very stealthy ride. They won't see ya comin. I look forward to seeing what else you do.

What's a fake SS? Just putting some new Rims on the car instead of steel wheels?

my dad "cloned" it when my mom drove it, thinking that she wouldnt realize its an ls and she thought she had an ss but it didnt work...........and i would like to do an l67 swap but i have no money and couldnt do it myself.

the law in this state is that you can have what u want in the back and supposed to only have 4 in at the top of the front windows.. sucks but alot of people do it anywho.. i have found that in my last car (it was black) and going 35% all round you could still see through it enough that i NEVER go pulled over in it, no hassel at night (seeing out) and still made the car look a ton better..
