Talking 06 SS - West Texas
Just sayin what up from Texas! I traded in my 04 Monte Carlo SS for a shiny new 06 Monte Carlo SS a month or so ago. Found this site and it seems like a badass resource for all things GM.

Anyhow, not much done to the new ride yet - stripped the exhaust(resonator delete-left the d/p and cat alone) put on 3" mandrel bend to Borla mufflers/tips, new wheels, tint, HID heads/fogs, sound system. The next things on my list are lowering springs(help please!!), intake, cam, headers, new d/p, then a tune.

Here's a pic of my new ride

San Angelo...........**** I can never think of where anything is in West Texas. I'm from Plainview and I would have to look at a map to find out how to get to Tulia. How is that Hooters in Midland?
