However 5 cars from Jet City and a bunch of us from BC got onto I-5 together and headed back up, some turned off soon, others came closer to the boarder and one brave soul crossed customs with us into BC. Is staying the night at a members place then heading over to Victoria for the day.
I have about 2hrs of Video and 60 plus pics on my camera to go through. I will get all the pics from the other people there uploaded to my FTP and then I will make a master gallery or 2 out of all of them.

Looking at a picture like this, it made me notice something... Statistics.
Assuming this: GT fascia means the car is a GT with a V6. Coupe fascia means the car is a base coupe with a 4 cyl we know there are exceptions to this, but we'll assume its true.
Green arrows are GT's (41) Red are coupes. (10)
I know I missed a couple of arrows, but the numbers are right. so its a 4:1 ratio. Actual manufacture, is 1:3. So, that means a GT is 12 times as likley to become a collectors car then a coupe.
The numbers get more interesting... 88 GT's make up about 1.6% of Fiero's produced. At one Fiero show I was at, 25% of the Fiero's there are 88 GT's. How much more likley are 88 GT's to be collected compared to a coupe? About 42 times as likley. I think my numbers are right, correct me if otherwise.

Question for poster above, How on earth did you determine what is a GT and a Coupe from that photo? I suspect your using the aero nose to come up with that and that doesn't work.

Thats what the assumptions were all about, I know SE's after 85 all have GT bumpers, and most, but not all have V6's. I know some coupes, especially 85 can also be V6's. So, yeah its not accurate, but still, even with the exceptions, its still suprising to see how few "coupes" (using that term loosley) are at a car show, given that they made so many more of them then any other model. I think you know what I'm getting at.

Originally posted by Capt Fiero: Watts left early and did not attend the run.
I left "early" after a few other people had already left.
Mostly because I knew I'd have to creep home (more than about 10-20% throttle and I would have blown my charge pipe off, then had to sit there for 2hrs until the engine cooled off enough I could touch it!).
Hope nobody else rushed it and got nailed along the way. My radar detector went off about 20 times up I-5!

HA! just the other day my wife asked me if I thought that it was going to be hard finding Fiero owners in Washington when we move up there after graduation...
I had told her that yea, there is a pretty good group of owners here in CA, and if there wasn't a GTG up there, that I'd have to look into starting one.
Guess that I don’t have to!
"T" Minus ( Just less than ) one year and counting till I graduate and head NORTH BABY!
Man I cant wait!!!
