Still got her. Butt end up in the air. Need to get the cradle bolts out and buy an engine (LS5.3 is the plan). Also get rid of the four kids so that I have time (and money) to do this.

Still have a stock 88 coupe. Post in tech once in a while but I learn more there than I contribute.
Same here 74k and stock except for the CD player. I've a whole lot of upgade parts but the 'powers that be' won't let me jack up 'Old Paint' to do a lot of work. I need to find a beter place to live.
------------------ Ol' Paint, 88 Base coupe auto. Turning white on top, like owner. Leaks a little, like owner. Doesn't smoke....... OK, we're trying to quit.

Oh yeah! I still have my beautiful Fiero parked in the garage. I take it for a spin every once in awhile. I need to put new brakes, replace the headliner in it and fill and paint the luggage rack holes on the deck lid, but other than that, she's running great with a great sound system, Indiglo gauges and smelling like fresh linen dryer sheets.
We still have 2, the 88GT is now my daily driver. The formula is sitting because it needs a new clutch. Have all the parts, just waiting on the hubby to fix it. I've never in my life taken apart a clutch or I'd give it a go myself.

I have one that I drive to work every day...about a 60 mile round trip. Lately tripple digit temps and the car just keeps running great.
Actually after reading about the 12yr old girl that is fixing up her car I am thinking about getting another one for my son...he wants to drive a fiero when he turns 16 and I was going to let him have mine....but that is just toooo painfullllll.
Need to find a nice 4 banger for him to fixup.

I have ... my 88GT T Top, an 86 GT fastback (to keep me from needing body parts should some ahole hit me), and an 88 coupe parts car for 88 specific parts and the five speed standard tranny (T Top is automatic).

After reading about Nick selling his Fiero, it got me to thinking how many regulars here in O/T actually still own a Fiero? This forum actually sometimes seems segregated between O/T and the rest and I recognize a LOT of names here in O/T but usually don't see them as much in General and Tech.
As for me, I have owned a Fiero since the day I joined PFF. It was my problem child 86 GT that was an on-going resto project. Last fall I bought my 87 GT and drive it darn near every day.
So how 'bout you?
I still have, but it's in storage now, and it hasn't run in like 5 years, but I've been restoring it slowly, but now it's going to just sit for several years.

I'm inbetween Fiero's right now, it's just a matter of time!

Yup, I've got an 88 Formula (bet you couldn't guess that!) that is daily driven when its running right. Currently getting an alignment and some new tires, and fixing a leak in the AC. But will be on the road hopefully this weekend!

I hear ya! Wheel bearing is out in my truck so I've been driving the A/C-less Fiero all week...black car, black leather = one hot sumbitch. Reallllllllllly thinking about getting the A/C fixed in it now, dunno what's even wrong with it, may just need a belt and a charge.

Mine is my only car, but I have a motorcycle now so I only drive it once every week or two. I browse the other forums but I rarely have anything to add.
Well I have owned 3 Fiero's Indy,and 2 85GT's. I'm down to one now that being my wife's radar blue 85GT. It was my car at first then gave it to her for graduating from college this past spring. We had full intentions of fixing it up a little to sell then didn't have the heart to after it was done. Is there a place were we can post pic's with our fellow PFF members? In the gallery the pics are really small and they never change. Am I looking in the wrong place? Our car is far from being a show car but we love it,and the son and daughter are just nuts about it. We are proud to be Fiero owners.

I don't have one anymore. I had an '86GT with less than 75,000 miles on it. But sold it about 6 years ago now (I think). My wife never liked it, and as my children started driving the drive way started filling up with cars and there just wasn't room (Oh, but there was room for her '95 Miata).
She is a great woman in every other way, so I'm not complaining.
But I liked the car and it was fun while it lasted.
