Junk of the Month Thread

I was just looking at the 20 or so cars on here the have won Car of the Month in the past. Since we have such low participation in the COTM and now COTY, maybe we should start the new year by bringing forward some of the junk we got out there and see what kind of turnout we have.

I figure out of all the members on here telling horror stories about their hacked,chopped,molested,abused,neglected,raped,pieced together, rolling POS, that we need to really bring them into the spotlight.

So, 3rd gen members......SHOW US YOUR JUNK!!! (keep it clean)

Happy Holidays and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!


PS: Don't take this too seriously....life is too short. Just have fun with it!

Is this the crying thread?




(Relax, this isn't mine) (Also, I had a photo of a totaled red 91 Formula like mine - can't find the photos - May be on the old computer) We need Jim Carrey to show us where the scratch is.

Found this old thread. That black one looks like a Formula based on the wheels.

LOL Bob!

Check out this stunner... a '91 1LE Z28... If you can see bondo clearly down the door... in a small picture... of a white car... it's not looking good. Also must be one of the most rotted ones I have ever seen underneath... ever!!

Love it!

And don't forget..."never seen rain or snow, stored in a climate controlled, and must sell because I have too many cars." (needing bail money)

Re: Junk of the Month Thread

I just got this a few months back. My first 3rd gen wanted one since i was 10. Hopefully it will look like i have invisioned one day. The one good thing no rust what so ever except on the dented parts that are going to be replaced.
