This is why I dislike craigslist

In Vancouver on August 20th, this was posted

1987 I Rock Camaro - $1000 (Surrey)

I check craigslist because there are some good deals. This one is just crazy.

first of all, it's an 'I Rock' Camaro, not an IROC, but if you look at the pictures. There is nothing to show that it's an IROC

I emailed the guy because even if it's a z28 the price isn't bad but I was asking him friendly questions about the car, and whether it was actually an iroc, just to see his level of knowledge about the cars.

He responded with Go F yourself.

I didn't buy it.

Re: This is why I dislike craigslist

Which is probably why it was listed as an "I Rock". Technically not a lie....???

Re: This is why I dislike craigslist

some people are just idiots... its sad, cause it'll probably go to some kid who thinks its an "IROC" not being able to tell the difference. Poor smuck will be disappointed when he joins this forum only to find out it's not.

On a good note... always nice to see fellow Canadians on here

Re: This is why I dislike craigslist

don't forget about the 350 big block. Or one of my favorites a virgin 383 block. One guy tried to tell me that a 383 wasn't a stroker.
