In this section I will post all the
e-mails I received due to this site
that I think are neat stories about Fieros.
If you have a cool Fiero story or even
just want to show your support for the cars we love and
you would
like to see it posted here, e-mail me.

I LOVE the Fiero. It's affordable,
it's unique, and its the closest thing to a Ferrari that a poor person will ever own. My first car was a bloated black '94 Mustang, and I HATED it. Most people said, "ooh, a Mustang," and then they saw the big monster. It was so long, that someone hit it as I was pulling onto the highway. They thought I would be out of the way, but I was driving too slow and the car was too long. (I'll never make that mistake again). I hated driving that death trap. My next car was a beautiful, cherry red 1988 Fiero that looked like sex on wheels. It was only a 4 cylinder, but it caught attention where ever it went. Nobody can stop talking about how cute it is. Where ever I go, I hear, "what a pretty car. is that a Fiero?" You don't get that much attention in a '94 Mustang, or a Ford Taurus (like Dan said), either. That's for sure. Nothing can beat a Fiero in unique appeal. Although mine breaks down constantly, this car is very forgivable. Having two seats is the greatest, because you can always have an excuse not to haul a bunch of people around, and that saves gas money in itself. Christy |
hey, I have lots of stories about the Fiero I once owned nearly two years ago.. If you could've seen my fathers face when I brought my 86 Fiero sport coupe home.. He had only one word "TROUBLE!!" I just kinda ignored that comment, but boy was that the truth! It was my 2nd car so being I Was seventeen and when your in a Fiero you get the "What the hell is that" look.. Anyways I had a buddy that worked for Circut City so I got really good deals on car audio stuff, but you really can't put a decent sub box behind either seat cuz, other wise you will be kissing the dash.. I tried that road but got sick of it.. I had my car for about four months then the head went and then since it got really hot the head cracked... Took two months of here and there of fixing to get back to shape.. two weeks later, this is a true fact IT STARTED ON FIRE!!!!!! Just plain sick of the nightmares I got rid of it for only $200 bucks... I now have a 99 Chevy S-10 ZR2 and have no plans right now for another.. Good Luck, Joe |
Hey!
Ya, use any of those pictures on his site that you want (except the one w/ him in the car!! Or, use it and I'll send a new one of that shot).
Well,
looks CAN be deceiving, as I learned. There's quite a few small
problems w/ it, but not too many :) The nose has quite a
few rock chips... I'm just gonna get a bra on it. There's a spot
of paint flaked off on the driver's side ground effect, not too big, I
have touch up paint. Umm... a small chip in the paint behind the
driver's side 1/4 window, small one on the side of the spoiler, and a
spot on the engine compartment where there was at one time a fire back
there that cracked the paint. That's all touchup stuff though, that's
real easy. (I can't do it, but SOMEONE can, and do it
easily). My only real concern right now (after my
brakes/manifolds/clutch work) is that on the hood scoop, driver's side
of the scoop, its cracking along the seam. I guess that should
have been expected and reinforced when they put the scoop in there,
but they didn't. So that needs repaired and it'll take a little
bit of paint. I think I have about $1000 worth to get the body
back how I want it, but I really don't have anything to complain
about. Its a great car, and I got a fairly good deal. I
paid $3,750 for it... $4G's including delivery. I need a
windshield, brakes, hydraulics in the clutch, manifolds, and that
paint/hood work done. So I THINK I should get it all finished
and ready for whatever for around $6,000. We'll see what
happens.
Go
ahead and post this Email. The site is great, one of the better
one's I've been to. Not too cluttered, and it shows off your
beautiful car...
To
anyone that DOESN'T own a Fiero, and SHOULD, I would just like to
mention the fact that there's a Fiero for everyone... every price
range, every performance range. I got a VERY nice '84 SE w/ a GT
body, perfect paint, great engine, and immaculate leather interior
for $1,750. It was a head turner. Still is. People
would tell me "I wish I had a car like that" and I'd see
them driving a Ford Taurus that they bought for $4,000 and wonder why
they even say stuff like that. And my new GT, which is one of
the fastest cars I've ever driven, not to mention the best looking, is
going to total me about $6,000, with everything you could ever ask for
in a sports car. Racing wheels and tires, performance
suspension, badass paintjob, leather interior, sunroof, nice stereo,
not to mention amazing performance.
But,
Chris, I should get mine back from the shop by this weekend and I'll
snap a few pictures and send'em to ya. I really appreciate you
making me some space on your page. Hope to see you at a show
some day.
Take care
-Dan
