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 .............
Jim

The important thing to remember here is that Punisher's only goal in life is to stop the BS on the forum.. He spent all day yesterday explaining that to me... So he comes in here and rags on an 11 year old boy's car... Yeah, you are really stopping the BS on the forum, Shaun. Like I told you yesterday, the best way for you to stop the BS on the forum is for you not to say anything. For some reason he honestly can't seem to see how wrong he is.. A whole thread full of people congratulating someone for an accomplishment and he posts 3-4 times back to back with all the venom he can think of to try to mess it up... Amazing! Maybe he was just worried that his red bar was losing red ... Still gonna deny following Steve around harassing him? [This message has been edited by Songman (edited 10-21-2004).]

Getting your car published in a "Ricers rides" section in a non nationally recognized magazine is not an accomplishment. He submitted pictures to a ricey magazine and the editor said: "Holy **** this is a riced out POS. We have to put it in the readers rides section." Think the car would get any sort of attention in a real magazine like Hot Rod? Or maybe even Sport Compact Car? If he submitted pics to taht magazine he would be laughed at and told to go F himself. THe only thing that car gets recognized for is being a Riced out POS. Have you ever heard of this magazine? I havent'. Which means its probably nothing but ricer crap. Gettign a pic in a readers ride section is not a big deal Get a 4 page spread article on your car like Bill Sessions is an accomplishment. Anyone can submit pictures of their car to a magazine. Not everyone gets a 4 page layout. Want to know what I think is funny? 5 years from now when "j-Rod" gets old enough to drive he wont' want to drive that ugly @ss POS. his tastes will have changed and hopefully so will his current oversized wardrobe. Hopefully he will have clothes that fit him by then. I am calling it now. Mark my words. I am going to submit that pic to riceboy.com. if the pic gets put up on that page will you all congratulate steve then for having a ricemobile and how it made a webpage full of other ricers? I mean damn its a webpage that can be viewed by millions of people. Talk about an accomplishment!!!!!!!! right? right?

But seriously, who goes to a magazine signing? Anyone here ever gone and had a magazine signed by someone who had 1/4 of a page in it? Edit: I'm just curious why a book store would set-up a signing for this. [This message has been edited by Unsafe At Any Speed (edited 10-21-2004).]

What is that i see coming at us at Mach20??? oh is that the trash can... HOLY SH!T this thread is gonna splat on the bottom of it....
btw... its cool that jordan's fiero got in ANY magazine ricer or not... not everyone gets put in the readers rides section. usually they have to go through quite a few cars and decide on the best... and jordan's Brian Spilner/Walker 97 Eclipse GS-T Wannabe is still pretty nice just because he is 11 and has a car that will whip up on most civics and the like even if JORDAN drove it. ask yourself this question... would you be saying the same thing if YOUR kid had his car put in a magazine? i didnt think so(dont use the "i wouldnt ever let my kid make such an ugly car blah blah blah... excuses)

They are having a book signing because Fiero5's town is so damn small everyone there is family. That is a thing for the whole family to be proud of. BTW those ricer mags are easy to get into. Just rice your car out a little with a shitty paintjob, a bunch of stickers, a giant exhaust and wing, and put some old english or japanese writing on the top of your windshield and you can have your car up in a mag. Personally, I'd be pretty damn ashamed if my car was in a magazine next to "Dave's Golf" and "Ky's Kavalier". Good for you "Steve", even though the car is fugly I think what you're doing with your son is great. However his judgement isn't always best and it'd be good for you to moderate his ideas a bit. I can tell, like the Punisher, that in 5 years when he can drive, he won't wanna drive that ugly thing because this Fast&theFurious fad will be over. Look at fads in the past, all these ricers of today will look back at their pictures 5 or 10 years from now and laugh at their own stupidity.

I find it interesting that everyone that posting a negative comment in this thread, I had already rated negative for other reasons, other than bashing Fiero5. If I could give them another negative for what they've posted in this thread, I wouldn't hestitate for a moment.

I wish my dad helped me rice my fiero out like that when I was 11....NO Im not a ricer guy but I like jordans car unlike the majority of people here. to an 11 year old I know how cool something like that would be so I respect it
