What surprises me even more is that a bunch of people, who probably don't have kids of their own (and if you do - omg), who are obviously struggling with adolescence themselves, who are far from being a role-model for anyone, who idolize fictional movie-characters, who think the looks of a car is more important than the bonding between a father and his son (which tells you something about the childhood these people must have had) - that those people are telling others what's best for an 11-year old kid. Yeah right. So they can grow up and be like you?

Well here goes trying to be "mature" and on topic.

-BTW Coming from an 18 year old

So they can grow up and be like you?

Steve.......A little story.
I don't know if you met my son at Carlisle this year or not.
He had the white 85 GT next to Jordans.
He has owned somewhere around 30 Fieros since he bought his first one at age 16.
He's now 28.
To be honest, I never did anything but rag on that poor kid for wasting his money on those "plastic pigs".
And I never let up. I lent a hand once in awhile, but for the most part, he has done all the work on them himself.
In 2001, he bought me an 85 Coupe. And of course, I was hooked.
Now, he lives a distance from me. I have come to really enjoy the Fiero, but.....unfortunately...I can't enjoy them with him the way I wish I could. And I think back on the way I was towards his Fieros and it actually shames me. To be honest, I couldn't ask for a better son and am extremely proud of him. I just wish that I would have spent the time that he was home helping instead of ridiculing his hobby.
I don't give two hoots in hell if your car is pink with orange dots.
You are spending time with your son, which he will never forget, and you will never regret.
He likes the car...I don't care if he did the work, or you did the work...He likes the car.
Enjoy .............

Hell, you're still wet behind the ears and living under Mom and Dad's umbrella. I seriously doubt that both cars in your signature are titled in your name. You have a far way to go, before you even approach mature status. You're entitled to your opinion, but your remarks in this thread were not warranted, and didn't belong here.

Sorry to see the flamers trash your thread again Steve and congratulations on getting some print.

Since this is here in Trash Can already, I'll address the buttheads that keep slamming the green machine.

Warning- Rant Begin

To those that say Jordan needs to take it out in the real world... what the hell do you think going to shows, sending in pictures to magazines etc is?

So flipping what if you don't like it... I didn't like it when it started out. I think way back then I made a couple of hopefully constructive comments on it. I've been impressed with how much it's transformed into what they were after. It's different, it's in tune with a modern trend, it's THEIR CHOICE.

This is a FIERO FORUM... as others including Steve has stated, we post our cars, our progress, our ideas. WHY are you bashing an 11 year old kid's ideas when him and his dad carry out those ideas and then show them off. THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE FORUM.

Punisher (both of you flaming idiots)... grow up, get a life, maybe some therapy. Just cause it's the internet doesn't mean your comments don't hurt, just cause it's the internet doesn't mean we don't realise your just being a prick.

I see your actions as one of the root problems with society today... attack someone, gang up on them... then blame them for the attack. Are your actions pre-emptive defensive strikes? You bash and bash and bash at Fiero5 over what he and his son are doing when it effects you HOW? Just how does what this family is doing together effect you? You could just skip his posts... let them have their HARMLESS FUN... but no... you feel the requirement to turn every post into crap that lessens us all, that an 11 year old shouldn't have to see.

Do you really in any way, shape, or form think that they get crapped on like this in the real world? They've gotten invites to shows, they now submitted and gotten in a magazine (oh boy you don't read it... like that's a requirement), they keep working on it. All the more power to them!

It beats my two fieros in aspects that I bet it beats a LARGE percentage of the ones on this forum.... it runs, it drives, I don't see posts asking why it's broke every other day, it's not colored something that has peeled off and the primer is showing underneath.

There is no rule that says you can't build a car with the 2.5l engine in it and make it look cool in whatever fashion you decide. All show and no go isn't illegal... and seeing what you can do with a street driven 4tech isn't a crime. If it blows up... I guess they get to deal with that.

Who cares what it runs at the track if they aren't showing a time slip and asking to be put in the fastest fiero listings or talking smack about how they can outrun you? I could kick the butts of most fieros here (fight'n words!!!!) with my stock 85 4 cylinder New Yorker (including my own fieros... neither moves right now). My big performance measurement has been seeing just how good a fuel mileage I can get out of that turbocharged boat. Your badass fiero couldn't beat it there... his 4 cylinder probably could even if it couldn't take me from streetlight to streetlight which they shouldn't be trying anyways (nuns, baskets of puppies and all that).

One thing is for sure... it has gotten old, and I'm sick of Fiero5 getting bashed for starting a thread because he knows the flamers are going to go off.

I stand on the green machine family side, because idiots without manners shouldn't be allowed to shout down people who are trying to hold a pleasant discussion on a family forum.

I'm sorry to see that once again the actions of a few forced Cliff to trashcan a thread that started off on a good note where someone was just trying to talk about their accomplishments. Please stop dragging the forum down, pick a new mission... if you've got so much time to waste ragging on Fiero5 and Jordan, do some volunteer work, go work on your car, take a walk, take a class, get a job, pet your dog... do something with your life. Just stop spurting on the screen as you hit send with one of your blasts thinking it makes you a man.

One of the best replies I have ever read on this forum +
