Took the IROC down town last night! PICS

Me and 2 buddys of mine took advantage of the nice weather last night and hoped in the IROC and took a drive down town, stoped at the Adler Planetarium and my buddy who is really good at photography took some pics of the skyline with the Camaro in the foreground. Then we took it up Lake Shore and hung out in Evenston for while and then drove back down to the South Side.

I will have more pics as soon as I get them loaded up.

Great picture. Adler Planetarium eh? I'll have to remember that location because the background is killer.

The car looks great, Kevin. It warms my heart to know that at least one 3rd gen part I owned at one point has nice paint on it.

Re: Took the IROC down town last night! PICS

Really nice pics, but, you couldn't pay me enough to take one of the boys into that traffic. Risk is TOO great with all those imbiciles on the streets. I've been out of there about 4 years now and I'd rather drink bleach than go back to the old 'hood.

Re: Took the IROC down town last night! PICS

Yea thats definitely true, i mean my car might not be as streetable as most(5500 stall, 3 speed, 4.11's) but just the other night i put on 100 miles and it was great, nothing better and more relaxing than going for a cruise with ttops out on a nice evening. Any are i ever own will be a driver, some only when its nice out though.
