New ride

I had an unbelievably good month trading options, so it was time to spend some of that moolah. I went looking at the GTO's, but with the narrow width of the door opening and rear wheel drive (it snows here), I decided to go with a spiffy new Monte Carlo SS (how origional, my other car is a '03 Monte Carlo SS ). Anyway, this one is better, cool 'lazer blue' paint and 300 HP V8. I installed the handcontrols myself (MPD) and gave the other car to that woman that is shacking up with me.

Pardon the ghetto background, its the parking lot at work.

And now the photos...

Nice car, Andy! I like the blue and the SS badge looks sick on the side.

Nice car! I noticed on the engine cover that it says "displacement
on demand". How does it run with that feature? I haven't heard
any reviews of it yet. I love the color.

Andy-
Badass ride.. I was once looking at getting a SS also. I need something else to drive besides my conversion van all the time.
I really have my eyes set on the 2006 F-150 Harley or the 2006 F-250 Crew Cab Turbo Diesel Harley.
We'll see what happens, I might have either by this time next year. -Ed-
