if I really can find the birthday girls car I will post up here

Want any hints?

it`s the car on your profile, right?...do you have the old registration with a vin number?

Nope...

No, but I bet Mr. "Corvette" does. I don't remember if you said he bought it back and then sold it or what? Frame damage? If it wasn't totalled it might still be on the road, might be able to find it, and might be able to buy it from whoever has it now.

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!

Hey, if you guys can find it more power to you, although you'd have to pry the keys from my cold dead fingers... I'll have to see if I can find the vin, it's worth a shot.

That wouldn't be too hard. A few beers, some jello wrestling, a shot or two, like taking candy from a baby.

No but really, try finding it...who knows, maybe the person who owns it has it sitting somewhere taking up space and they just GIVE it to you.

Guess what?


I found the VIN

How do I find the car, Carfax?

Carfax will just tell you the cars history. DMV is your best bet. It's going to cost you a little though.

post the full vin # here and I will try it

It's against board rules to post full vin's

Raf

Which is why I didn't post it up.

you have to check the number at the dmv.....or run it through someone you know at the troopers station...dmv will check out the history and see if it`s still registered someplace in florida....or the last date it was registered.....if you know the right people they will run a nationwide check

I looked it up, it said, 1 owner, we were the last ones to register it back in '99

Anyone/everyone still up for meeting a week from now? Still no suggestions on where we should have this meet. Not really familiar with restaurants in the Tampa area, or I would give a few.

SABER, how is the car? Get it fixed yet? Let us know if you need any help, i'd be glad to lend a hand.

Well, I'm not sure how this is for everyone, but there is a Texas Roadhouse in Wesley Chapel just off I-75

What is going on Jim! Haven't seen you in forever. We really do need to get a meet together and hangout again. Ah, the good old days when the IROC still roamed the streets. lol. Adam :-)

Hey Adam, it has been a while. This friday, will you be able to make it?

Im in Tampa to Will be watching this thread to come out and see some of you guys

Alright, welcome aboard! Anyone else? Or does anyone else have an idea of where to eat?

Well, i'll be there, with or without my thirdgen...had a coolant leak on wednesday, found the leak, tried removing the connector and it was just so corroded, it broke inside of the lower intake manifold...trying to figure out how to get it out. Already bought a replacement coolant connector but it seems to be too big, will be heading to the junkyard tomorrow to see if I can find a replacement.

I work til 5: pm, so I'll probably be at the Roadhouse around 5:30-5:45-ish.

im not in tampa, but in the area
- south west pasco

See you all out at Texas Roadhouse.

Anyone show up? 85'_Tribute and I left at about 8-830pm.

.....close to Tampa.... Sarasota, here.

What's goin on Tampa and surrounding areas?

Yep guys i got my car all worked out, shes runnin just fine for now. I just need to get the money for new shocks/struts now, lol its a never ending cycle you know. But im up to have a meet sometime. Just throw a time and place out there.

That's good to hear Saber. Not this weekend, but maybe next, anyone up for anything?

Id be down for something. It will be nice to meet up with some chevy guys for once, theres so many damn imports in tampa. lol

Ahem, and Pontiac. Same difference though aside from looks.

lol i realized soon after writing it i should have written GM instead, lol. Its all the same. Made in america after all.

What's better for everyone? Friday, Saturday, or Sunday? Either for me. Also, should we just meet at a parking lot, a restaurant, what?

I should go driving around Tampa to get familiar with it, see if I spot anywhere that looks nice. Maybe i'll do that tomorrow.

...

So what did I miss.....OH!! and by the way charcoalbird that strange fellow called Fredless is a traitor, He own's a mustang now (a cobra) I don't know if he can be trusted.....

Fredless

What's goin on brdofpry been wondering what happened to you. I didn't know he bought a cobra either, thought he still had the GTP. How is your project going? Last I heard you were still building the 400(right?).

SHHHHHHH!!!!!!! umm...NO

Sup mang! Haven't seen you on the boards in forever!

Now I'll have to find a reason to make my way up there one friday night

-jason

Been a while since i checked this thread lol. Kinda sucks ill be leaving for home for the next month, never got to meet up with anyone yet. I see thirdgens everywhere, theres two always parked in the Best Buy on N. Dale. Anyways last night got me thinking, my friend owns a VW and they always meet up at a Best Buy and go drive out somewhere to eat and stuff like once a month, and last night i was drivin the causeway and saw a bunch of rice parked out on one of the sides meetin up, We should really get something going around here when i get back down in Jan. Maybe like a meet every two weeks or something. I love to just go cruisin so we dont even have to eat anywhere, just go up and down the causeway or something.

Not down for cruising the causeway. Don't care for it. But something once in a while like meeting up and cruising elsewhere sounds good. Even a BBQ would be cool.

I got my KR nose for my car, though needs some fine tuning, I also got the AC fixed (yahoo!)... Wanna install my MSD box too... and tidy up some things...Might try and make it to the Dyno over the Christmas Holidays off 66th street... and the races in Bradenton on the 19th and 20th with Rich Christensen...



Raf

Wasn't aware of anything going down in Bradenton. Maybe i'll cruise down there with you if you don't mind. Need to search details first. Where do you see when/where they are going to be? How much? I went to SpeedTV.com which i'm guessing is the main Pinks page, and they only have program schedule's. Not where they are going to be.

I'm trying to get some people together... I'm legally blind and don't drive, my car is underconstruction, but road worthy

Raf

$40 for both days? $80 if I bring my girl...think i'll only go 1 day. You going Friday or Saturday Raf?

I'm leaning towards Friday, but possibly open... my 3 week vacation starts end of day tomorow

$40 to spectate? I see why Rich is doing so well

Raf

I invited some guys from F-BodyInc. I was thinking Friday also. - Jim

Plenty of guys in the Tampa area, need to get something together. Also, is anyone planning on going to the F-Body gathering in Atlanta??? It'd be nice to cruise up there with more 3rd gens.
