Re: Did u have a Thirdgen in highschool?

I really wanted like an Iroc Blue 1989 IROC with a 350 and 5 speed manual, and black/grey leather interior. Had to settle for this .

I like the texas flag theme you got going on the right side of the car. Just needs a star.

Re: Did u have a Thirdgen in highschool?

Got a 81 camaro for my 16th birthday and drove it all through high school and saved up money my jr year and bought a 91 rs with 305tbi and a t5 and still driving it now. Just turned 160k and runs a 10 flat in the 1/8th so not to bad. As for the 81 it sits on jackstands without a tranny waitin to find a decent t5 or have enough money to slap a tko in it. Was always nice having 2 differnet camaros to drive to school. Always got the well which one are you driving today question lol.

Re: Did u have a Thirdgen in highschool?

I had to wait until I was 32 before I could have the IROC-Z I wanted in H.S. It all started in the Fall of '89 (Sophomore year) and a buddy of mine had just turned 16. His dad bought him a new Red '89 IROC-Z 5.7 TPI with T-tops and I was green with envy!
Well, fast-forward to 2006. I got a call from a fellow gearhead that knew of an older gent that was selling his Black '89 IROC-Z with a 5.7 and T-tops. When I talked to the guy, he sent a whole mess of pictures and let me know that it had 58K miles. I caught the next flight out of town and bought it for $9.5K.
She was and is in sweet condition. The only mod I've made is adding a set of Edelbrock TES headers....otherwise bone-stock.

Well I've had it now for 5 years and I can't decide if I would have had more fun owning her back then or now. One thing is for sure, I can appreciate a thing of beauty a whole hell of a lot more now than then!

I didn't get my first car till after I joined the military. I got a 2004 Honda Accord...nice reliable car. Then I decided well this is boring.
Sold it.
Got a 85 Iroc-Z that I am in love with I am trying to fix it up to perfection. I'm getting there....

Re: Did u have a Thirdgen in highschool?

I had an 1984 L69 Camaro in high school. My first car ever.

The thing ran terribly. It was constantly over heating. At the time I didn't have enough money to give the car the proper restoration it deserved. I ended up selling it after I graduated. I always remember it though.

Re: Did u have a Thirdgen in highschool?

My neighbor had two irocs that i admired since i was 12. I use to go over and check them out all the time. When i was a junior in hs i heard he was moving and at the time he only had one left, which was the better of the two. He said he just wanted to fly to his new home so i picked up this 86 iroc from him for a $1000. It only had 66xxx on it. I thought it was the coolest thing driving it to hs even though it had a lg4 motor lol but ill fix that as soon as college stops taking all of my car funds. It still looks the same as when i got it.

Please tell me you're planning on a full resto, or at least only reversible bolt-on mods. That is so clean!

Thanks! I do plan on building a decent street motor for it and will get a bunch of good parts thrown it's way but for now it will stay as is so the girlfriend can race it at the dragstrip in the street class

Re: Did u have a Thirdgen in highschool?

My first car was in high school, 1984 sport coupe with blown up 2.8. My stepdad and uncle insisted on fixing the 2.8 because they did not want me to have a V8. I had the 2.8 fixed and drove it for a couple of months until I was able to secure a 350 and auto trans. When my stepdad went out of town me and my buddy, went to town and had the V8 in and running before my stepdad got home. 15 years later I still love the third generation f-body. Since then I owned 3 more. One stock 88 RS 5.0 with 5 speed, one slightly modified 86 sport coupe, and now I have my current modified 86.

Re: Did u have a Thirdgen in highschool?

Well i will have to add got mine in the summer of 2010 in june and it was the summer of my senior year. Worked for 3 years to buy it after seeing it in storage at my uncles for 5 years. Put the cutouts on 2 days before the first day of school and took my friend to the first day of our senior year pulled in early with very few people there and just threw it into a donut for about a minute covered the whole parking lot in smoke and got everybody outside. My god was the dean pissed but i got away with it. Plan on keeping her and making it a tribute to my twin whos struggling with cystic fibrocis.

I remember this story! You got a screaming deal on a low mile iroc that you named rocky..The tires were old and worn out and one blew out on you and you wrecked it bad. I thought your car was a total loss--Glad to see you were able to put her back together!

Had mouse turds and crap all in it, baby wipes and junk...gum stuck on the center console, pretty crappy. I gave her $500 down and she let me pay her the other five hundred in payments whenever I could.

Put a battery in her, took her home and spent forever cleaning her, bought some cheap chrome exhaust tips and drove it to school the next day. It was great, people were like, "who's Trans Am is that out there?" MINE! Then after fixing a bunch of problems and it leaving me stranded once or twice, I decided to try to go drifting on a gravel road. Well I ended up down a huge ditch into a small tree. Lol. After school was out I spent all summer with my dad doing a small restoration I guess you could say. After I came back everywhere I went I got compliments ALL the time. I was leaving school one day and some woman was yelling at me from the sidewalk, haha.

Well less than a year after paint and stuff, this dumba$$ bish just ran into me in the school parking lot. That just pretty much ruined it. Everyone was like "holy shlt" It's been over a year and I'm just now getting around to fixing that and making it super nice. Ive spent WAYYY too much money on it the last few months. Atleast it was nice for my senior pics. My main senior pic everywhere is the one with my car, lol. Well here's pics... first is right after I got it and cleaned it up...2 is after I tried drifting...and 3 Is how it looked after paint with my dad, before the dumb girl hit me.
man that is sharp looks like it just rolled off the showroom.
