  1. Probably for the same reason we spend countless dollars restoring our cars, "We just don't know any different." I just look at it from the perspective that everyone has to do what works for them.
  2. I can't tell you how long I have had my Monte Carlo, but it has to be close to 20 years, and I as hard as I have tried, I can't come up with a single memory. All of the memory come back to me in a montage of sorts. One of my first memories is shortly after getting the car with my father driving it. I remember him stopping it, and leaving a long patch of rubber. After that, I remember spending countless hours with my friend Tommy stripping seven layers of paint and printer to get down to bare steel before painting it again. I remember working on the front of the engine fixing belts and pulleys that left a lot to be desired. From there my memory drifts into when I was working on the interior, and reupholstering seats with my other friend Tommy. There were so many car shows after that I went to with Tommy. I remember taking my then girlfriend, soon fiancee, and later on my wife for her first ride, where she slide off the seat, when I got into it. I later took her with my older friend Dick. After I showed him what it would do he said he almost crapped his pants. There are so many times I would sit in the garage with my Monte when so many other things were going on that I just couldn't take it out. (No regrets, just the way life is sometimes.) I just recently got done installing a new QA1 suspension with my friend Steve, and that wa a great time. I took it for a ride, and it felt so good to be out in it again. I also can't begin to tell you how much I love the new suspension. I could go on and on, but my monte has been a part of my life for so long, I just can't give you just one memory. Some of the things that I have also been thinking about. Driving it after it has been fuel injected, and how does it feel. Looking out the front window, and seeing the Dakota Digital Dash. Feeling the stopping power of the new wilwood brakes. Listening to the new stereo with Bluetooth. I may get some of it done, I may not. There is a part of me that doesn't care how much more I get done; there is a part of me that want to do everything I just mentioned, and as time has gone by, my focus is shifting towards the memories that I have yet to make in my monte.
  3. I think my monte is telling me that it wants a Dakota Digital. While I was out for a cruise last night, I noticed that the fuel guage isn't working. So......Who am I to argue?
  4. I don't drive mine at night very often either, just wanted the brighter lights just in case. LOL!
  5. These are the headlights that I purchased from Headlight experts, and I would recommed them. https://www.headlightexperts.com/h6024-dual-beam-sealed-beam-led-headlight-conversion-kit
  6. Um, I suspect that isn't exactly a new flash, but I just happened to stumble upon this: https://www.nhtsa.gov/?nhtsaId=70V032000 Just thought you guys might be interested. Just don't ask how or why I would search/find/stumble upon such a thing. LOL!
  7. A few years ago, I bought a brand new car that ended up having a dead spot. It sucked explaining that to the dealership and getting it fixed. Not to mention the frustration of not getting my new car to start.
  8. I didn't feel any bounce or roll when cornering.
  9. i got my car back on Friday. I am really happy with how it rides. A few things that I noticed when I took it for a ride on Friday. It feels like a totally different car. It is awesome, I would not hesitate to recommend the same setup to others.
  10. Can you force regular password changes and/or enable MFA?

  12. Seems like the only difference would be the core charge, and refund.
  13. This is what I am looking at: https://redheadsteeringgears.com/18501QW The ratio is 12.7:1 "No stops. We use a true quick worm from a IROC Z28 Camaro. When done properly your turning radius stays the same as the factory gear box, it’s just faster reacting and more responsive. You get full lock to full lock in 2.5 turns instead of the factory 3.25."
