My Cars

I am a bit of a car nut so its only natural that I have owned many cars since I started driving. My first car was a 1996 Monte Carlo Z34. It was my mothers car up until I turned 16. About that time the Fast and Furious movies really became popular and I wanted to customize it. I installed a ram air intake, mufflers, racing seats, slotted and drilled rotors with ceramic brakes, American Racing Wheels, graphics, a hood scoop, and rebuilt the engine and transmission with performance parts. I also had the windows tinted and "Monte Carlo" put on the front windshield.

During the same time I also took an interest in classic cars. I was building a 350 engine and wanted something to put it in. I found a 1976 Monte Carlo shell and dropped the motor in it. it ran nice but I wanted more performance. I began looking for a lighter car to put my motor in when I found an add for a 1987 Monte Carlo LS. I went to see it and it was just recently restored. The guy even threw in a shell of an 1985 Camaro IROC Z. After getting them both home I realized why he threw in the Camaro, it had a huge water leak and it quickly caused a lot of rust. I sold the Camaro to regain some of my money and continued looking for a home for my engine.

At this time my 96' Monte broke down and I needed a new daily driver. My cousin had a 1995 Honda Civic DX and thought it had a cracked head. I took a look at it and decided to take it off his hands. After a few cheep repairs I had it on the road. Meanwhile, I found my engine a new home, a 1986 Monte Carlo SS. It was a little rough and already had a 305 in it but the price was right. A few weeks later I found a 1985 Monte Carlo SS with a good interior and body (except for the front end which had been wrecked). It also had a 305 in it. I did some work on the cars over the summer and kept the miles off my Montes by driving the Civic.

I started collage and drove the 96' Monte again as a daily driver while using the Civic as a winter car. After a year or so I sold the Civic. Then I left collage and moved out. My 96' Monte developed a large oil leak and had to be parked. The rest of my cars where still at my mothers house and most where not road worthy. This left me own my own with just my motorcycle (Kawasaki Ninja). I started looking for a new car with a limited budget. I stumbled upon a deal for a 2007 Honda Civic SI and drove 2 hours just to see it. A short test drive later and I was looking for a loan. My bank came through and the Civic SI is now my daily driver.

I have big plans for all of my vehicles but they all cost a lot of time and money to complete. My best bet to complete my cars would be to sell a few in order to fund the rest but I am hesitant. I would also love to start a Rat Rod project sometime but I don't have the time for the cars I have now so its going to be a while before I get to this.
