My neighbor took credit of owning the Rays as they were on his driveway while the poor sap with the garage sale next door made just over $200 in sales (with what seemed like $1 at a time) ... 🤣

Hiroki .. Nice Monte SS...
They did come out with a V8 in the last two years of that model, 2006-2007.
BUT still front wheel drive.
From what I understand that discussion in early 2000s that platform was planned to be changed to rear wheel drive in about 2005 but those plans changed when they decided to put their efforts into the Cadillac performance line..
I still like my Monte...

And a fine job GM did with the CTS-V/ATS-V lineup. I really like the color and the wheels on your Monte.

We have a no winters 1997 Olds LSS with the same Supercharged 3.8. Not killer for sure but surprises people just the same. It is a nice cruiser and the suspension is firmed up so that it doesn't wallow in the corners like the older ones did.
