Awesome job getting in the magazine and all. I bet that made Jordan even more excited about his car. I only hope my Dad and I can be as sucessfuly on our Fieros as you and your son are on yours.

Congrats.

Congrats to Jordan. No matter what the naysayers say, Steve. You're doing a good thing. Keep up the good work. I wish I had a relationship with my father they way that you and Jordan have had and continue to have. Keep up the good work. Despite the many efforts for these other fiero owners who aren't in any magazines to downplay the Jordan's accomplishments, the car looks great and is sure to turn some heads. Maybe not fiero owners though, cause they just can't seem to overlook their egos.

Stimpy, I had hair on my nuts at an age you were still drooling and sucking your thumb, so shut your trap before I "accidentally" teabag you fool. I could really say a lot worse in this thread about that car but I'm holding back to save a little respect for the kid and his father.
(edit)BTW, Shouldn't this thread have been in the trash can like yesterday?(/edit)

Looking in your sig you seem to have the same car with the same engine less a working tranny, And you come here and crack on someone elses car ? With the same setup ?


I truly don't get some ppl LOL. Can I see a pic of your car please Hahahahahahahah

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.



Let's see here, you find fault with where he lives, and the towns people, and his family. Then you condemn everything he and his son have done to the car, and tell them they should be ashamed of their Fugly Ugly Car. Then finally, you accuse Steve of being a Bad Parent, who doesn't know how to guide his children. Your comments in this thread are extremely abusive in my opinion. You also seem to take pride in comparing smaller engine imports to your Z28, what Planet are you living on ??? Finally, Z28's like you have, are a "dime a dozen" on the street, nothing to get excited about, and don't draw much attention anyway.

edit.....I just visited your Car Domain and noticed you have a pretty nice '88 Fiero GT with "Low Miles". You state that you are considering a V8 conversion and possibly a full body kit for that car. To me, is seems like you don't practice what you preach, as that car will have more value to it in 5 to 10 years, than if you mod it.

Thanks everyone. Yeah, Jordan is grinning from ear to ear.
A lot of the local "tuners" and people we know and have met at local shows and cruise-ins over the last year or so who have met Jordan and know about his car have been buying the mags up and of course we picked up a "couple" issues ourselves. Sadly, the store is now sold out of this issue after only two days!! The first time ever they said
NOW, here is the other cool part of this if it happens:
When we started checking in at the Borders store weeks ago when we first heard that his Fiero was going to be in it, a Borders manager caught wind of it and thought it was pretty cool that not only a local car owner was in a mag, but that it was an 11 year old car owner. She asked if we would like to have Jordan at some point at the store after the issue came out and do a magazine signing. Soo, one thing led to another and now the publisher of Sport Compact National, Inside Track Communications, Inc, is coordinating with our local Borders Book Store here in West Lebanon NH to try and get a lot more issues shipped in due to the sell out as the store has allready been gearing up for this Sunday so we can have Jordan do a signing of the mag. The store also wants us to bring his Fiero for display as well and park it right out front of the main entrance where they will have a banner I guess and have ads and stuff.
Jordans principle at Plainfield Elementary is gearing the school up to have a lot of the teachers come on Sunday and is announcing it in the school newsletter. It will be cool event on Sunday if they can get the mags in in time.
I will of course take a "few" pics


That's awesome! Congrats to Jordan! Also, it's always great to see another bit of positive media for Fieros.

I appreciate that father and son are enjoying this hobby together, in fact I'm a little jealous since my onw kids have no interest in automobiles. Still, the simple fact is that this car is too riced out and Fieros don't take to rice too well. It was produced well before the modding trend.

IMHO opinion; it's like saying "he son, wanna build 1/25 scale models?" "Cool, I did it when I was a kid and I think you'll enjoy it". "But instead of using Testor's model glue and paints, we'll used contact cement and your mother's nail polish".

Eh all my frustration with Ricers happens to find a vent at Steve. I can't see how these hideous F&F wannabe cars can have such a fuss made about them. "Ohhh look at me I can put a wing and large exhaust on my Civic, now I'm faster than all the cars on the road with my economy car". Steve's son is caught up in this ricing (tuning, F&F, whatever) fad and will probably either get sick of the car when he grows older or he'll continue on and probably go and get a Eclipse or Celica or something like that and mod the outside. Ricers have the absolute worst attitudes and driving styles on the road today. I know if a shitty Honda Accord costs like $2000 you can afford to drive in traffic like you're out of your mind (on the highway around here I've seen people in these ricers weaving between sub-rushhour traffic coming within INCHES of other cars on the road). They also believe for the most part that American cars are **** (including the Fiero, why the hell do you think I want to mod the engine?) and that Japanese cars can own American cars any day. When they pull up to a stoplight next to a Camaro (sometimes mine? maybe)or a Trans Am or even Mustang GT, they can usually get "skooled" but usually blame it on something else. I know the Camaro doesn't get even half the looks of the Fiero when I drive them, but it can beat the Fiero all day in speed. The Fiero beats in it handling, but around here there's too many slow people in mini-vans and pickup trucks to enjoy the curves, while there's many straight-aways on 2 lane highway around here to play around. However, like I said before I do respect what Steve is doing with his son, it is a great thing for them to bond so well in a time period where TV and video games tend to raise kids rather than the parents. But does he have to show off every little thing that happens in his life with that car? Oh look I took a massive dump, here's a picture on the forums for all to see! Toilet seat signing is next week, please come! You say to use the "back" button? This is where real life and the internet differ. IRL if some idiot is say, posting up like hundreds of photos of their kids around their cubicle at the office in plain view of everyone, do I tell him to take them down because its annoying, or do I keep walking past every day getting pissed off every day because he thinks he is so important when he obviously isn't? This is public forum people, Steve if you want to document every little **** you take in life on the internet for some sort of self-satisfaction, go start your own website so no one can go to it.
