Who else has at least driven...

[knightfan26917]

...EVERY Monte Carlo generation? I've driven at least one MC of each generation, though I've only owned 5 of 6 generations....

Those generations being...

Gen 1 = 1970-72

Gen 2 = 1973-77

Gen 3 = 1978-80

Gen 4 = 1981-88

Gen 5 = 1995-99

Gen 6 = 2000-present

I currently own (thus driven)...

Gen 1 ... 1972 MC

Gen 2 ... 1976 MC Landau

Gen 3 ... 1979 MC Landau

Gen 4 ... 1981 MC SC

Gen 4 ... 1987 MC LS

I have owned (thus driven)...

Gen 4 ... 1988 MC LS

Gen 6 ... 2000 LS

My parents currently have (and, yes, I have driven)...

Gen 5 ... 1997 LS

So ... anyone else at least DRIVEN every Monte Carlo generation? I know my parents and sister have [tho, my parents have only owned 2nd, 4th and 5th gen MCs, while my sister has owned no MCs]....

I've driven 3-4 and have riden in the 1st.

[Camino LS6]

I owned a gen 4 and have at least ridden in 1-3 (can't remember if I've driven them). 5&6 simply don't count for me so no, I haven't driven those.

[z28luvr01]

I've ridden in 2, 4, and 5. Almost bought a 6.

I'd love to drive a 2nd gen.

I've never even been inside a Monte...

Am I out of the club? :AH-HA_wink:

What he said... No one in my family has recently owned one.

Never been in one, parents have never owned one. My uncle used to have a 4th Gen and a friend at school has a 6th Gen. Never been in either.

[Northstar]

I've driven a 6th gen through the parking lot at work and detailed it. Does that count?

Edit: Just remembered I did the same with a 5th gen too.

No old ones...

[american_revolution_2005]

I have been in a Lumina. Does that count??

[Camino LS6]

To me, the 2nd gen is everything the M/C ever wanted to be. It was built at the height of popularity for the "personal luxury coupe", had adequate V8 power, rode like a cloud, and was comfy in every way.

The 4th gen SS is more my cup of tea though.

[NOS2006]

Oh wait, I think my friend in Tennessee has a 5th Gen that I've been in. I think it's an MC at least. I stand corrected.

[DetroitNut90]

My grandad owned an '87 model, an LS 4.3L (he saved the 305 for his '87 El Camino). It was a fine car...until blue smoke poured out of the exhaust while my mom was driving it through College Park one day. IIRC, he owned a 3rd-gen, but I never saw it outside of pictures in old photo albums.

My aunt's ex-husband traded his '00 Corvette 'vert in on a red '01 SS--never rode in it, though.

[capriceman]

I miss my 73... But at the the time it cost me $10 a day in gas to drive it were i needed to go. had the swivel seats.

[Guest YellowJacket894]

I've been in generations 1, 5, and 6. And that's all there is to it.

[knightfan26917]

Wow ... all these drivers ... and not so many participants in the trivia?

he he

And, Camino ... glad to know I'm not alone .

[Robert Hall]

I've driven a Gen 4 ('86 SS) about 20 years ago, and rented a 5th and a couple 6th gens from Avis. That's about it.

[knightfan26917]

I'd love to drive a 2nd gen.

Depending on if you stop here en route to OK in June ... you could always drive mine .

And ... btw ... surprised you haven't tried the trivia this time around....

I rode in a car seat in mom's baby blue '79 when I was very very young; other than that I have no Monte Carlo experience to speak of whatsoever. A guy I work with used to own a '70 and a '72, but that was back in the early 80's when they were just cheap used cars.

[knightfan26917]

Ah ... I remember you mentioning that baby blue '79 to me before, XP . I suspect I asked this, but do you have any pics of that one?

[bobo]

I think my only MC experience was riding in the back seat of a new '78 MC. It was a light brown, and I was impressed at how luxurious it was.

[balthazar]

Never driven any, cannot recall riding in any. My buddy (I don't see anymore, but recently started chatting with again) had a pristine Gen 1, but I've not seen it and I haven't asked if he still has it. He just told me he was buying a late Gen 4 as a 'beater'; haven't seen that one either.

Frankly, I'm not much enamoured with Chevy cars (like their trucks, tho), and the only MC I would be interested in inspecting/ driving is a Gen 1- the rest don't interest me.

[2005 EquinoxLS]

Owned my Gen 6 from July 2001 to March 2005. Rode in a 1978 but it was near the end of its life when I did. I would like to drive a 1978-80 someday. Maybe even own one. Rode in a 1973 also but that was in even worse shape than the 1978.
