OK so I really have 1 parking space but where I live im sure I can have another car parked for a few years I moved next door to my aunt so I think she'd let me park a 2nd car there.

Now my real tough decision is, I want as many Fieros as possible till I die, so should I buy a fier daily first and then a fiero project car ? Or should I stick with my trusty Toyota 3.0 with 190k and still feels as smooth as a Buick, leather seats, spacious , sunroof AC in Miami. As opposed to the Fieros overall space. Ive owned two, drove an 84 daily ffor 3 years not one issue until the TBI went

I had a buying dilemma once. It wasn’t exactly dilemmazine I was looking for and on the way home I got a ticket for going 20 over dilemmat. The upholstery was dilemmanated, so I finally sold dilemman.

Sounds like more of a driveway/parking dilemma.

Good to see you are still around Dan, I hadn't seen a post in a while.

2.5 you the man!!

Lol that's funny parking dilemma. But the main reason I made this topic was should I switch my comfy leather seats, engine that you don't even know is on sitting in idle, cold AC in super hot miami. For a 2.8 daily with possibly no AC when I buy it

Well I drove 5 different Fieros in Lakeland FL and none of them had AC. Great heat lol but no AC. Just roll the windows down and don't get stuck in traffic.
I miss my GT and also want another one but I am going to be picky this time, I also can't park a lot of cars but one more small one wont hurt. Right?

I know, I have had 3 of them at once and all of them ran. When asked how do I pick one to drive I just look at the gas gauge.

Keep the Toyota, and get a Fiero. They are always projects, regardless. That way you have the reliable Toyota, and the Fiero when you want to relax.

They are like a Lotus...

If anybody ever offers you a 1970's British sports car, run.

Look behind you. If it is still there, run faster.

Not a dilemma at all. Keep the running Toyota. Dont waste your money buying project cars until your finances, education, employment, housing, and parking situations are all taken care of. Have you maxed out your ROTHIRA? Do you have 6-12 months living expenses? Are you debt free? I thought I recall you having financial and medical issues. Take care of yourself and important stuff. A Fiero is a money pit at best anyway. As much as I've loved these cars over the years, the nicest or fastest one is still just a Fiero and even my most reliable or expensive ones are nothing compared to every modern car I've ever owned.

look around, there maybe a car club with guys that share shop space.
I know here, there is and 5 or 6 guys share a shop they rent and their fun cars/projects are in there. the rent is cheap as it is divided (on this case) by 5 or 6 guys.
