I can't say I've ever heard that before. Cute, but I'm still not into group hugs.

Well no wonder we disagree. I don't think that I've ever seen an ugly Ferrari or Lambo. Maybe a wrecked one. I was never tempted to alter the Italian styling of my rebody like I did to many of my other cars. My sense of style falls far short of theirs. My rebody was never to pretend that I had a $300,000 car. I just like their looks.

I think cars are a little like women, what one person thinks is nice looking another person thinks isn't.

Agreed, but yet I am betting that the guys bashing kit cars or other people's work on their cars are not going up to the guys of these women and saying "Man your woman looks like **** " or "What a mess, is that the best you can do?", "Something just don't look right" etc. etc.

I tend to agree with you that O/T doesn't really belong as a part of the Fiero forum. I don't post on it nearly as much as I used to because it really is just a political thread and everyone has their opinion on everything and are very quick to trash anyone with an opposing viewpoint. I think it should be spun off to a different website. A lot of the people who post there no longer have a Fiero or any interest in Fieros. Any non-owner can always post in technical or general they don't need O/T. A car enthusiast friend of mine was very surprised that this forum had the O/T section.




If you want this forum to change like you have been beating on for a while now, then feel free to start your own. Stay out of O/T? There is a concept. Not a single person here makes you open that section of a forum. Or do they? At this very moment a black helicopter is hovering over my cardboard box, and telling me that I have to write this sentence.

Lol, yes I am sure you are correct

I thought the kit car was ugly because none of the body lines flowed together like they do on the real car. The panel gaps were also a distraction. That's what gets me about most kit cars and it's mostly due to the quality of the kit itself rather than the work of the builder. I've only seen a handful of kits that I thought looked good. Mera based 308 kits are one.

I used to think the Fiero F40 kits were butt ugly. Then I saw a real F40 and realized it was just a butt ugly car.
Love it for what it represents and it's engineering, but pretty it ain't. Even the real ones look like kit cars.

Nothing to add except the part about the panel gaps on the car. I have an AD355. The panels were all reproduced from real actual 355 parts and there is no way to eliminate the gap at the front of the door without changing hinge locations. Sorry I can't make it perfect. Perfection is not within my financial reach

I would love to have a Countach replica just because I like the look of the car. But I could never build one and the price to buy one already built is unaffordable to me. I've seen lots of nice ones that I would love to own.
