> [@TORQDSS](#): > > Monte carlo sales skyrocket at the begining of the NASCAR season, so yes they get a ROI Which is sad because the Monte Carlo you sell and the one racing at Daytona have about as much as in common as I do with Max Afinogenov. Yeah, we both have Afinogenov jerseys, and we’re both male, but that’s about it. ---

Yeah, we both have Afinogenov jerseys, and we’re both male, but that’s about it. Why is it sad, you would think most people buying them know it shares nothing more than a name. Nascar is always put down for this and I never understood why that would make such a difference to people ---

> [@TORQDSS](#): > > no more health care coverage for retirees that are 65 or over. they will be eligible for medicaid and will receive some $$ instead. That’s been a long time coming, good move. I wonder how long before I hear my neighbor behind me gripe about this… nice guy he retired probably 6 years back not sure how old he is, he is up there. Nice guy and greatly helpful to me being a noobie homeowner. But definitely a “part of the problem” crowd of GM who don’t realize GM can’t keep operating the way it did. ---

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the COT an Impala SS? I know it used to be a Monte Carlo. And I thought they were the same thing, just the headlights don’t work on a NASCAR. ---
