What do you think of my ride?

Well I might be out of the Euro game, but here a few pics of my ride. Any comments (good and bad) are appreciated.

What's that red outlined shape on the rear of the car?


My dad bought a new Impala a year or two ago and loves it. It's blacked out like yours, but he's got the stock set up. I think your wheels make the thing look a lot better than stock. Ground kit looks very good too. I think Chevy could have done a better job making the tail lights look attractive. They sort of look like squished gum drops smushed onto the end of the car. I also have never liked their squared-off rear end- seems too high to me. But, I think you've made the best with what you were given. (You didn't have to pay for that, right? ha ha! couldn't resist..)


Hell, my newest car is 20 years old, what do I know?

thanks for sharing, I'm always curious what else people drive around here.

As always you do a great job modding your cars.

While I am not a big fan of chevy cars.

I think you have done a good job and the car looks great.

I think the Monte Carlo is by far the ugliest car on the road.

But today make I the exception, good work! I'm amazed at the work you guys (Ashman Doctor Yourelf) do.

I like it.....but I bet its a real ***** to keep clean.......the only problem with black cars. Beutiful color but they are dirty again 5 minutes after you wash them.

Its hard to keep black cars clean. I washed the E300D yesterday and it was already dirty once I got home from the coin op car wash


-mike690003, that chev looks pretty good, I dont see to many modded monte carlos in my area, its good that you are original.

Many people would get a car like a civic, put body kits etc.... but they forget to clean up the rust first (no offense to civics, I just dont preffer the ones with body kits and stock engine). Why not spend the dough on a swap and have a pretty fast pocket rocket , boneheaddoctor you could add to that with your B16 civic .
