im not haveing any luck with cars this year

ok first some guy pulled out in front of me. i was in my iroc and i nailed him pretty hard. it was totaled. now last sunday i was on my way to get some stuff for my 88 im rebuilding. all of the sudden my truck back fired up through the carb. i didnt really think much of it. it suddenly shut off and smoke pured out from under the hood. i knew it was on fire so i tried to get it out. i had zero luck with that by the time the firetruck showed up she was a total loose well here is a couple pics. i know it isnt a camaro but it had my 87 irocs motor in it while i was rebuilding the 350 to put back in it. here is a before.

Damn, bro...that does suck... But on the bright side, you made it out of the truck!!!!!


Best of luck in your search for new vehicles. Hopefully your insurance will help out.

I joined this board back in Feb, 2002 since i was supposed to be buying this guy's GTA because he was moving to Chicago and couldnt take it. Well, I go look at the car and it is damn near PERFECT except for the fact he never drove it cause it had a sputter to it. I checked the car out and timing was off, but i tried to play it out so i could get a better discount on the car (heheheh).

Well, his buddy and he decided to take it out 3 days before i was to pick the car up, and ended up rolling it over and totalling it (trying to power slide the car and hit a curb) . Since then, i haven't even looked for another car, thinking that my luck just plain sucks. But as of now im actually looking into a chopped 51 Merc!!!! HEEEELLLS yeah!

You never know what you will end up with until you have a title in your hand!

By the look of your truck I am so glad you got out. Your lucky you had enough time to get out because otherwise it would be more then just your truck burnt. Sometimes bad things happen but understand your life is more important then any thing. And I hope you have insurance because someone has to pay!
