I'll chime in here on this whole age thing...
I've seen a lot of folks here that I never even guessed were teenagers, until I saw their pics, or happened to read about it in passing. Some have maturity far beyond their years, and deserve credit for it.
Others, however, are complete drooling arrogant morons. To be fair, this also includes some people who are *much* older than teenage.
The trouble is, as with *any* cross-section of society, the a$$clowns and troublemakers get all the press, and cause people to create stereotypes. Dude16, your problem is obvious...
 Have a nice life, Poser. [EDIT] I've been dying to use that image. Just haven't found a thread worthy of it. Until now.  ------------------

I'm not usually one to raise my voice in a thread like this, but wow DUDE is a DICK. I can't believe...him. Accepted to medical school? How absurd. Who does he think he is, Doogie Howser? Not impressed. Anyway, sounds to me like he is a puerile perjurer, and a SNOB in the worst way...an absolute fraud.
I thought his comment on everyone being ugly was so base! How rude and mean and uncouth and most importantly, untrue.
Maybe he'll enjoy his Z, maybe not. I think he should take a picture of him inside it so we can all see how COOL he looks in it.

Well, I did the opposite. I wrapped my 1996 300Z TT around a tree... then got the insurance money and bought my first 2 Fieros... chopped the top off one... and put a 3800 in one and a 3800SC in the convertible. I still had money left over to put a downpayment on my Maxima. I can sympathize with him... poor baby doesn't wanna have to fix his widdle USA made car... I tell ya, when those turbos go at 90K (READ UP ON IT... IT'S COMMON) you'll be cryin' to daddy...
| quote | | First of all, yea it does have some mods, has performance chip, exhaust, filters, and a bunch of other low cost performance upgrades, I think the chip gives it at least 50hp. Took it to a performance shop for inspection and they did some other tests and it toped out at 390hp |
|
You're flat out lying. There's no way you can bolt on 90HP with a 'chip, exhaust, filter' and whatever. Plus, it's DEFINITELY lost power in the years it was driven. If it's been modded... it's been raced. If it's been raced... You've got damaged goods.
| quote |
Third, I took the car to a shop before I bought it and had a 50-point inspection done, I just need an oil change. Plus if something does brake down, I got a place to keep the car till I have enough money to repair it. But I already almost got 1k on the side so I should be good unless something horrible happens.

Turbos go bye bye
| quote | | Fourth. You and your fieros, people, the fiero is a crappy ASS CAR!!!!!. the toyota MR2 sells on average for x2 the price....what does this mean? the toyota mr2 actually had some good engineering behind it unlike the FIero.... |
|
Do a comparison... Imports ALWAYS retain their value better in America. It's been a fact for a long time. It's not just MR2 vs. Fiero.
| quote | | They didn't stop producing fiero because they were such a wonderful car. |
|
They stopped making the Z too... Nissan coudn't afford to have a failing sportscar. At least GM kept 3 decent sportscars alive... unlike Nissan. That is until they imported the Skyline wannabe as the new 350Z.

I have a 336HP Turbo Maxima... and I love it. BUT She can't touch the Fiero. BTW - can you work at 13 in Canada? [This message has been edited by AgaricX (edited 07-18-2002).] [This message has been edited by AgaricX (edited 07-18-2002).]

Fieros are not very parctical, not very good looking unless you get $3000 rims and low profile tires. [/QUOTE] Ok if your going to make some sort of statistical(look it up in a dictionary) statement you might be well advised to check your facts, the MR2 does not resell 2x's the Fiero, it's even if not reversed numnuts, look it up! The engineering on the Fiero is outstanding, it was made as an economical commuter car, not a sports car so the fact they managed to get the amount of performance out of it as they did was quite the feat. Yes the MR2's do handle better but they are far less comfortable, and "practical" than Fiero's, not to mention underpowered, but the MR2-Fiero debate will always go on, both are great cars with their own pro's and cons.
They stopped making Fiero's, really? Thanks for the news flash, I'm glad you gave us the real story instead of that whole economic and political bs story we have been lead to believe all this time and if the whole basis of your opinion of a car is what rims and tires are in it then you and the Nissan world were made for each other.

Any girl that dates a guy for his car/wallet or some other reason based soley on vanity is stupid. she could look good, the sex could be on point, but she's probably a slut or a gold digger, and if she's only interested in you for the car, how many OTHER men with nice cars and fat wallets will she/is she scoping out?
I like the look of the Z, but that's about it. If I had a boyfriend who had a Z it would probably be because a) i'm asian (which i'm not, so let's rule that out) b) i'm 16 and think Zs are cool (which I'm not so let's rule that out too) c) i'm stupid and don't know a cool car from a fag car (um...not that either)...
I don't know...different strokes for different folks but if i were going to trade my fiero for something, it would be..another fiero. my insurance is cheap, gas is cheap...only thing that costs $$ is when something goes wrong.
best of luck in your Z...really.
