Well I'll miss Boonie's posts here, I usually found them fun and interesting.
I can just chat with him on Steam, so it's not a big deal, but the forum will be a little less interesting with his absence..
And since we're talking about what Fiero's we have..
86 SE 4-speed
3.4 swap with a turbo
(other assorted engine upgrade goodies)
Koni shocks and struts, Eibach springs
Heavy duty front and rear sway bars.
Got some really nice Momo rims on it that topher_time gave me many years ago.
It was also my very first car.. Dad helped me buy it when i was 16.. About 10 years ago we started "restoring" it. By now we have replaced pretty much everything in the car.. Just needs a new paint job.. (and a new clutch as its went out about 6 months ago, hoping to get that fixed next year.)[This message has been edited by Jonesy (edited 12-12-2020).]

Like lots of PFF members (myself included) he divested himself of it after a couple years.
I no longer own one but I have had as many as 5 at one time. |

I recently joined that club. I was a Fiero owner for almost 25 years. I became "Fiero-less" about a year ago. But I still hang around. I still have knowledge to share. And some forum members are personal friends.

I still miss the Indy, but tossing a cane or crutches into one doesn't work out that well. Never mind rolling left and trying to get up from hands and knees.

I'm the same person in every forum. I'm the same person in real life. When addressed in a civil manner, I respond in kind. If/when talked down to, I have no problem responding in a similar fashion. For whatever reason, this seems to take a few people by surprise.
Perhaps my "behavior" in O/T reflects the general mood here.

Patrick, I am not going to diss you. Believe it or not, I actually enjoy the arguments from 2,000km away.
Maybe we got old, but this forum is full of pilots, soldiers, sailors, submariners, truckdrivers, ambulance drivers, mechanics, cowboys...yes even cops.
Look down. Grow a couple.
Thats not a diss. It's a little slap in the back of a skull saying "C'mon man. get up"
Believe me, an RSM will do a lot worse to you.[This message has been edited by MidEngineManiac (edited 12-12-2020).]

You know... I could've stated that to sourmash, but instead I supplied an honest respectful response. It doesn't seem worth the effort at times.

That unprovoked deflective insult is a perfect example of what I posted. You hide who you are on the other forums.
It's easy for me to see since I have no history in here and watching it is so glaring. And people who read and don't post are witnessing the real you.[This message has been edited by sourmash (edited 12-12-2020).]

An "insult"  To whom? Seriously man?
You're chastising me for an "insult" that was never made... yet I'm the one who was told to "grow a couple". Unbelievable.[This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 12-12-2020).]

OT has always been a bit more 'open' than the other sections and for a reason. For as long as I have been here, activity that will slide here in OT will get you set upon and banned much more quickly in sections like GFC, tech and the mall. It's not so much a case of anyone 'hiding' who they are but a case of 'discretion being the better part of valor'.
There are people in this thread that learned that the hard way and I would go so far as to say they go to great extent to hide who they are here in OT, if the behavior that got them run out of GFC is any indication.
OT recently, has begun to move MUCH closer to those sections, after a few years of being the bad boy of PFF.[This message has been edited by maryjane (edited 12-12-2020).]
