The only good reason to sell your IROC is if you have a bitchy wife who doesn't like it. Even then its still questionable. If so, sell it for these reasons.

1. Your wife will feel threatened after time by this vehicle that can give you a chubby just by cranking her over.

2. She can't drive it (either because she's afraid to, or because you were smart enough to feed her subliminal suggestions in her sleep making her think that she was too small for the car )

3. She pulls the "we need a family vehicle" line.

Ultimately the best reason overall is

4. The cost of divorce plus various other fee's will cost more than the car will be worth in the long run. Not only that, the car may give you shiyet every now and then, but this creature with which you are blissfully wed, can make your life a living hell and when this one gets old and cranky you cannot just replace the engine.

However, if this chic was a girlfriend... dump her. Their are plenty of women in the world that will respect the IROC. (maybe even you too)

If it is paid off then why sell it. you love the car, and the dreaded line of we need a family car should be the case, a car seat will fit in the back seat, behind the pass seat of course and just pack the bags, women pack to much stuff!!! KEEP IT!!

It's only a question that you can answer, dude. I've kept my car through 3 transmissions (one swapped myself!), two fuel pumps (both done myself), and after crashing it 3 times and totalling it once (frame work done by shop, rest of work done by me). So you don't want me to answer your question for you!

some audio install places will put in a flewible wire antenna and coil it up in your fender where the telescoping antenna motor went, and sometimes they coil it up and wedge it between the dash and the firewall behind the radio. not a bad idea but i like the ones on newer cars more, where they're woven into the rear window so u never have a squeak or rattle

I say keep it simply because GM does not make the Camaro or Bird anymore.
