I'm getting sick of my car.
Lately its been depressing me. i cant take the slowness anymore. i cant afford insurance on a 4th gen v8 so i've been thinking about an IROC. i figure i can sell my car for at least 5000 and that'd be more than enough for an IROC. what do you guys think?

See if you can find a cheap 3rd gen and drop in a beefy crate motor and your all set.

man, you can find a 93-97 LT1 for around 5,000. Do some searching and take your time, and see if you can find an older LT1. remember the older it is, the cheaper the insurance

and about the pep boys job, the manager has to make a call to see if i can work before i'm 18, but he hasnt had time to do that since theyre remodelling the store, and since i'm almost 18 i might just simply wait till then. i gotta talk to him this week.
