Wrecked My Car
Hi, how has everyone been? Sucks that the reason I have to come on here is to say I wrecked my car but thats just the way it is sometimes, I tore up my hood,drivers side fender and bumper. I am definatly gonna fix it since it was not a major deal, don;t get me wrong tho, the car looks like **** right now, but it can be fixed.
I aleady found the fender for pretty cheap at a junkyard and I already have a bumper too, now all I need is an IROC hood. So if anyone has one please let me know. It has to be the one with the Louvers on it, I seen plenty of the regular ones at the junkyard and my iroc just would'ent be an IROC with one of those.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I appreciate any and all help you guys provide me with.

If you can't find an IROC hood, the 91/92 Z hoods are the same base, just different inserts of bulges instead of the louvers. I gave a friend an IROC hood years ago, and he got those 91/92 blisters for it, since his is a 91 B4C. They drop right in, no changes needed.

Its kinda funny how the accelerator pedals usually 'stick' on 80 + year olds cars. One would think GM would look into the problem.

tends ot happen at banks usually
i dont know how they manage to do it
right through a building wall
its crazy
this one old lady who cxrashed through one of the local banks not too long ago all she does all day long is drive and drive around town all day long i dont know why but its all she ever does is drive around town, she got another vehicle after totalling it in the building and still jut does nothing but drive around town all day long every day
old ppl are odd..
sorry you got in wreck
\
drive defesively man, stay away from other cars, you cant be too close to them from behind or front or anywhere, everyone else behind the wheel are insane nutcases and cannot drive properly
i dont try anything
i have managed to avoid being hit a billion times since i was 16 in 1996 when i forst got my license, have avoided a billion near misses including with a school bus that ran a stop sign and about landed on my lap, miss by mere inches after i ran off the road to avois it, oh and the incident with a semi truck that decided to run a stop sign as i was traveling in front of it across my open intersection, also driver side,
those are two of the more crazy very close close call incidents ive been in so far,
its insane out there
ppl are retards and stop signs are invisible to them, among other things
owned a billion cars and trucks and vans and all kinds i guesstimate at least 150 of them now, lots of driving ive done, still managed to avoid an accident, somehow
phew.
good luck
