I got a couple Suzuki Samurai’s but I want a Monte Carlo, my second car. I love them. Mine had a 283, built with a friend that died years later and that killed me as a person. But building out a Monte in New England in February is not a light task.
I miss you Joe, I am so glad I could say goodbye.
Ooh I was just thinking about this earlier. When I was around 20 years old (so, 2010ish) I bought a 1979 Ford F-150 off of my boss at the time. I absolutely loved that truck to death. It had a modest 4” lift kit and 35” Micky Thompson Baja Claw rubbers. It also had a propane conversion kit installed on the 351m so it was cheap as chips to run. I wheeled that thing to death (literally… it died after being flipped over an embankment with me and my buddies inside. No one got hurt somehow, thanks solid steel frame!)
If I ever win the lotto (which I won’t cause I don’t even play) I’m gunna buy a house with a garage big enough so I can rebuild the same truck. It’s gunna be expensive, especially because I live in Europe now, and even more so extremely impractical, but hey, a guy can dream, no?
