That sucks bro and I'm sorry to hear it.

I can't view the thread as I'm not a member but I'm guessing the car got hit pretty hard. The important thing is that you're ok.

There was an '88 or '89 IROC on CL with no motor for $500, was a hardtop 5spd too if I remember correctly.

But if you ask me I think you should throw that money into getting your IROC back this spring.

I second this notion.
Just get another runner and focus on the IROC.
You don't need another 3rd gen, you've already gone through 2-3.

I would love to put the money back into the Iroc but I need a car to drive until the weather gets nice and I can ride. If the car is totaled I'd just use that $$ to get another car.

not really driveable. I tried to back it up and it wouldn't move, the back of the car would just lift a little.

How much do you think the insurance is going to give you? I can't see the pics at work as Zerotactic is catergorized as "pornography".

what car is it that got hit ?

between young girls and old ppl, alot of nice vehicles get wrecked

its crazy

i can speaks because im neither and have never been in an accident, and i have owned and driven probably over 150 different vehicles since 94, not exaggerating


its crappy that happened, id be so pissed off,

insurance is usually good about paying u a good amount for totalled vehicles and letting you buy it back for dirt cheap

like 2-300 bucks usually

state farm anyways

good luck

i would say a v6 5 speed would be a nice daily driver,

but i think you should get something newer and more of a daily driver

Terrell,

If you need a daily driver and can find a TBI car in good shape, I'd jump on it. Otherwise, focus on a newer four banger and use the money you save on gas to get your other third gen back in working order. That's my old man perspective.

I also agree with Jesse. I would like to personally b|tch slap all people driving in the fast lane who are on the phone.
