lol

your iroc isn't maroon/burgundy by any chance is it? And has a cowl hood on it? And you bought it from a guy called GINO?

If so, I got a surprise for you! Look under the floor, I was going to buy that car but not once I saw the floors

If not, then you're the wrong guy!

Well this is a heck of a thread to have to point it out ... but I think what Mr. AcceldZ was trying to bring to light was the LACK of TACT that your post seems to show. If this is confusing to you then let me quote the dictionary as well...

"TACT: acute sensitivity to what is proper and appropriate in dealing with others, including the ability to speak or act without offending. "

Let me elaborate -- you could just as easily have conveyed your concern over the status of 383IROC's floorboards through a PM. Instead you grandstanded for the entire board to see thus bringing the quality of his purchase into question.

There's nothing wrong with "us people" in fact many of us tried to help you when you bought your car in condition critical.

thx,
RP.

Welcome to the board !

So when are you going to post pics of the IROC ???!?!?!? Most of us don't read the words anyway -- we just look at the pics hahahahahahahah...

Is this your first 3rd gen ? What are the specs on the car ? Got any interesting RPOs ? Many of us are going to St. Thomas on Aug. 10th can you make it ?

RP.

Dave, it's not the size of the engine that counts, it's the numbers that it produces

Hey 383IROC Welcome to the Board.

I'm new to the board too.

That's sounds like one heck of a first car.

The harsh posts on the board lately are usually not like this so I hope it dosen't scare you off as it is a pretty fun board to be on.:lala:

anyways, again welcome from a fellow newbie.

oh sweet, did you pick it up for around $5000?

I saw that one in the paper. Called the guy, he was down in florida or something. I was going to go see it but didn't get around to it. Sounded like a sweet car though.
Congratulations!

Yeah, but they'd screw him for insurance at that age no matter WHAT he drove, so might as well go all the way and have some fun, huh...?
