Just got back from my Florida vacation and had to make note of the complete lack of Fiero sightings on I95 from Virginia to Saint Augustine - approximately 10 hours down and 10 hours back and not a one spotted! I guess the sightings will become even more rare considering the age of our rides and how many get crashed/crushed/parted out every year.
What's the longest drive anyone has done without spotting another Fiero on the road?

From Sarasota, FL to San Francisco, CA (2,888 miles) and saw no Fieros (I stopped at D1S and saw Kevin's, but none on the road) . I was fooolish enough to make the trip several times and each time-none. I've made several trips to V8Archie, but I only saw a Fiero at his place.

The last time I drove down from Little Rock, AR to Pensacola, FL I spotted one. A really nice yellow fastback on Pensacola Beach that looked like a repaint. I ate breakfast at some place called Native Cafe in Pensacola Beach (which was awesome by the way) and the car was there. Wasn't in a Fiero but another Pontiac.
However, the trip before the last one a while back I drove from Little Rock to Homestead, FL. The entire trip, to there and back, I did not spot one Fiero. I drove the entire time.

Total trip was roughly 8300 miles, but I did see one Fiero in Minnesota...so I cut out all legs of the trip up to and including that one....and end up with 4966 miles without a Fiero.
I've gone frtom elkhart to houston by bus, then from houston to elkhart and back and not a single one! Besides mine I moved to store while I'm gone. That's 1200 miles 1 way. Oh and still 0 seen on the northside of houston.
Last year went from my home in Tx. to Presque Isle, Me. 2240 miles. Finally saw one in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Presque Isle after I had been there about a week. Didn't see any on the way back either.

I`m currently about 3800 miles in a 5000-6000 mile road trip and I was lucky enough to spot 1 87-88 dark red coupe somewhere in Missouri on the interstate. I haven`t seen another one and I`ve visited several cities.

I have seen three (including my own). 1 86 GT and 2 87 GT's. Never seen a notchback Fiero ever. I really hope one shows up to a car show sometime as I'd love to check it out. Didn't see a single one on my trip to Hawaii a year or so ago! Saw a few Firebirds though.
I see at least one every day I drive, I don't know years, but there's a nice yellow notchie less than 5 miles from me, a red SE, a black, a few silver, and a few of the Deep red. as well as 4 or 5 I know of that are for sale as well. I guess people around me just love these cars.
Plus there's a guy (Ron Verb) on the radio from around here that alone owns a handful of them.

I started driving from NY to the Daytona Spring show in 1996. My brother and I would check for Fieros during the 1200 mile trip south then on the return back north. We would only see a Fiero once we got to Daytona, and very few Fieros in between if any. During the 2011 Power Tour earlier this month, the only Fieros I saw were the ones in the Power Tour.

Last July, Orlando to Toronto, didn't see a one till we got to TO but saw a couple parked while there and then when we heading back stateside we spent a good 30 mins next to a nice red notchie in traffic on the QEW. The wifey got a few nice shots of it before we got to customs. Heading back up this weekend so if anyones on the highways along the way and you see a dark blue contour slowing down to take a pic of your fiero wave for the camera.

I'll be on a road trip in my Sunfire the last two weeks of July-- I'll keep a tally. We'll be going the following places: Milwaukee, WI; Denver, CO; Page, AZ (Grand Canyon, north rim); Las Vegas, NV; Los Angeles, CA; San Luis Obispo, CA; San Francisco, CA; then ending in Frazee, MN for the Tyler Shipman show. I won't count at Frazee!

Was out taking pictures of the choptop along the Colonial Parkway and looked in my rear view and sighted a yellow 88 notchie aproaching - what are the odds!! Pulled off and flagged him down - nice older gentleman (74) out with his wife for a spin - had an interesting hydrogen generating setup in the trunk plumbed into the intake. Have to figure out how to get the pics within the PIP limits to post shots of his car....
Well lets see I went from Toledo OH to Washington DC and didn't see any, and the same thing Toledo to New York City. I very rarely see any at all. The last running fiero I saw was a few months ago. I also saw one sitting in a auto parts yard a few weeks ago.
