May It RUST In Pieces: A Digital Disaster With A Dated Look

Wow, makes my 86 t-bird look like an ultra luxury car with it's working digital dash, fuel injection, and mpg display... which was showing 7mpg when I sold it...

good god that's ugly

My Dad had one of those Monte Carlo SS coupes in the 80's... he also had a lot of women, so you may be right. That car made a fantastic V8 sound, though. He loved white Chevys... he had the white Monte Carlo SS and a white Iroc Z at the same time... I'm thinking of buying a white Camaro SS to keep the family tradition going.

I thought it was made from 76-89?Whooo cares. Anyways funny story, a buddy of mine actually got his hands on one a few years ago. We are younger guys in our early twenties so when he showed me it,being the car guy, in my head i thought oh god no he didnt buy this.I consider myself a nice guy and couldn't tell him what i thought due to the look on his face. You know,the face like you just got offered $20,000 fors $2,000 car you own that u want to sell :o <~~ that face.So he threw the keys at me and said "come on bro i want to sit in the passanger seatsmd see how it feels" "ok" i thought. We get in the car and i go to make a 3-point you turn. As im almost straight i hear a loud pop like maybe i ran over a glass bottle" "sorry" i said.The car straightens out and i start driving down the hill."boom ba boom ba boom ba boom" mixed with "ksssksssssssksss" is coming from the front right wheel" "shit",i said. "i must have ran over a bottle and you have a flat,sorry bro ill pay for the tire" "o man dont sweat it dude lets check out the damage". We both laughed as we got out the car. When he got out he had this look on his face as i was walking around the car. I get to the tire and it was not popped. The whole top of the wheel caved in and was rotating on the spring.On a modern car it would be that the lower camber bolts broke off causing the top of the tire to cave in. I dont want to give wrong info being that i never researched that car so im not sure how its made or what parts are used. Needless to say he sold the car after fixing it.From interior lights dimming to things not working it was a nightmare. Noone would work on it. Not because it was an Aston Martin,but because the car was pure utter garbage with no parts available and everything underneath was rusted,broken and old. Shops did not want to risk messing it up more.The car did get about 8 mpg.Definately single digits as the article says.Funny this article was posted we were actually talking about this the other day. Anyways I bored you guys enough,thats my story!

I was expecting a top of the line Chrysler Laser, 300Z, Thunderbird Elan or Buick Reatta when I started reading the title, the Lagonda wins by a nose and a few doors.
