Am I the only one?
By Chuck Taylor | Posted: 28/7/2008
Am I the only person here that thought this car could have been better. It looks like a Monte Carlo for sure but from the driver's seat I look around and see nothing but my old '88 Thunderbird. It drives just like my Trailblazer which isn't a good thing. If you're used to Chevrolet you won't be surprised or let down. If you've driven anything else you'll find yourself wanting just that. Anybody want to buy a slightly used 06 MC?
