   I totally know what you mean.  There is nothing really different about my 2k2   
   Monte other than it's new Jasper motor.  I have put a good deal of my own   
   blood and sweat into replacing various things on it over the years and it has   
   also treated me very well.  I average around 28MPG in it, too!  Not bad for a   
   car that size.  It is an LS, so it has the 3.4 V-6.   
      
   I really enjoy watching the Mecum Auto Auctions on cable.  Sometimes they have   
   just a standard car in there, which I still enjoy just the same.   
      
   If I had Jay Leno money, I'm sure I would have a huge garage like him with   
   loads of various cars from standard to rare.  I would also have a motorcycle   
   collection, too.  :)
