Why???

Just saw this today in the WalleyWorld parking lot and just had to post it, they parked this poor IROC out in the middle of the parking lot all by it's self, I guess so it wouldn't get any door dings on it:sillylol:
The other side looks almost as bad, as does the interior.

Hey at least he owns a F body and not a stang or a prelude.... Maybe he just got it recently and is going to fix it up.

You guys act like you never saw a car that has been in an accident. Maybe the guy still needs to drive the car to work and to grociery store before the door gets repaired. It looks drivable. I don't know the circumstances behind that Iroc so I'm not going judge.

I think this person works at WalleyWorld, I've been seeing it parked there on and off for the last 6 months or so, it's been wrecked for a long time, I just happened to have my digital camera with me today so I snaped a few shots, just thought it was funny they park it so it won't get dinged and it's already trashed. I wish they would fix it, but it would take a LOT of work.

Like I said in the first post the other side is trashed too, it needs a new front fender, rear quarter panel, and the whole interior is shot too.

Just needs a little TLC or maybe alot.

I had an accident about 4 months ago. Needed a new door and fender and new paint job. Since I'm not good with all this body detailing stuff, I had a shop do it. Cost 1400 dollars even using used parts (the fender is brand new though).
At least it's fixed now!


This is a picture of my car after the accident:

if he works there maybe he parks it there because some places want you to park a the far end of a parking lot so the customers can park closer to the store. I know my friend used to work at Wallmart and thats what they told him to do.
Maybe he doesn't have alot of money to dump on a nice ride so he had to build one, and he prolly doesn't make a whole lot of cash so it might take him/her a while to save up to get it fixed.

I see this all the time. I know of too many people who buy super fixer up camaro's with very limited income. It would be better if they bought a car to get around in that got good gas mileage I would think, and then later buy the camaro they want. Im sure you can all agree that thirdgens definitely are not the most reliable cars on the road. I love my iroc to death and its really fun to drive and work on, but I could not imagine fixing it up with only 300 a month coming in. Its good to see that the person has an interest in camaro's. It could be worse, he could be one of those 5.0 characters that think they are ***'s gift to racing.
