We have a new thirdgen owner in the family..
Hey everyone, its been a while since I've posted over here cause I'm pretty busy. Anyway, my 16 year old brother is in the process of buying his first car, an 85 IROC with a 305 TPI and 100K miles on it. So now hopefully there will be two IROCs coming to Denny's gathering from here. Heres pics:
Its in New York right now, my dad and him are going on Saturday to pick it up (if it checks out alright). I'll post more pics when we get it back.

well tell him right now it's faster than your car and MINE since ours seem to be in the garage for extended periods of time.
now where is that 1/2inch tubing bender for my fuel line?
Andy if you ever have some free time and want to see that I have indeed been working on my camaro feel free to give me a call or PM me about it.

Come to think of it, I wish all of my cars were that clean when I bought it.

Mine may be in the garage, but it still runs fine.
Free time is hard to come by, but I'd like to see the progress if I get a chance.

Car looks nice! My brother just turned 16 in September, and recently picked up a 90 Iroc G92. He just painted it, and it looks alot like that one, except no t-tops and hes got a T/A spoiler. Dennys party is turning into a family event!

I pay about $490 for six months on the IROC... but thats just liability. 
The Cavalier isn't as much, and since thats what I'm driving for a while I won't worry about the IROC's insurance.

Ya know, all this talk of family ownership of thirdgens almost makes me want to give my sister the firebird.
Then I passed the crackpipe and came to my senses.
