Default "Crown Royal IROC"

It appears that's what I just bought.



See that decal under the "Ram Air" emblem on the nose? That's what it says on it.

"Crown Royal IROC"

WTF is that ****?

Ya know, I was gonna ask what that decal said. I blew up the pic & couldn't believe what I was reading. My worst fears realized. Does it really mean / represent anything?

But hey, CONGRATS on the new baby Zeke!!! Now get out the buffer.....

It means the car was previously owned by a retard, that's about it. Makes me a little scared of what I'm gonna find when I start digging into it.

I was hoping that it was at least something funny... but damn. That's just

That is gonna have to come off like INSTANTLY after I sign the title on it.

Thanks, man.. I'm really excited about it, and can't wait to actually see it in person.

I gotta get it home first... still have a few hurdles to cross.

I sold my STi about a year ago. Wouldn't mind having another one, but it's just too much money, and too much hassle for me right now. I'd rather have another F-body.

I was wondering the same thing but was too lazy to blow up the picture to check.......and I woulda asked but I was busy so it slipped my mind till you posted this. Hopefully it was just one incident and the rest of the car is fine.

What did your friend tell you about it?

He hasn't gone there yet. It's been raining in Wisconsin the last few days, and he's waiting for a sunny day.

There is a guy going by there today.. in fact he's probably there right now, but he's just gonna take pics of the car. It's probably gonna get test driven on Friday.

I will know more this afternoon, though... Will at least have better pics.

IMHO, it is still kind of a lame sticker to put on such a gorgeous car.....

That is entirely possible, but I was just stating my opinion......and that I wouldn't put that on MY car.

I woudn't put it on mine either, when you see the crown royal iroc the first thing you think of is Camaro's were IROC's, not T/A's. Then to stick it on the hood looks even worse, is like sticking a nascar decal under the ram air. Now watch, when the car comes the decals will come off, then 5 years from now we will all find out it was a official pace car of the IROC series lol. Hopefully the car has the same engine specs as the IROC series cars

When I think of that sticker, I think of the car rolling through the freakin projects on 24" spinner wheels, with rap music booming out of it, and some gold toothed thug behind the wheel.

Makes me wanna stick a toilet brush in my ear to scrub that image out of by brain.

But he DOES make a good point (which is what I was asking), does it represent anything real about this car? If so, you better leave it on there.

Never heard of any such thing, but that certainly doesn't mean it doesn't exist.........would be weird though, no?
