And just because they don't love "Jordan's Fiero", that makes their opinion a "total crap attitude"? I don't think so. It's just THEIR opinion. You think the car looks great...that's YOUR opinion. They don't. That's THEIR opinion. Just because they don't agree with you, it doesn't make their opinions "crap", unless it also makes YOURS crap. Think about that for a while.

And yet, you would push censorship if it served your own purpose.... http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/039802-2.html Can't have it both ways, Steve...

Im 16 years old and me and my dad are working on my fiero and its so much fun so i know how much fun jordan is having too. I think its great fiero5 what your are doing letting jordan pick what he wants to do to his car. When i become a father if my son wants a fiero (hopefully he will ) im going to let him choose whats he wants to do with it because it will be his car. I will give him good advice along the way as to what he would probably like the most and i think everyone that is bashing jordans car is wrong because if jordan knew what they were saying about his car im sure he would be hurt and i certainly wouldnt bash or use degrading comments toward jordans car. I think jordan will like his car when he turns 16 and your one very cool dad ------------------ fast and reckless

Who drives the car has absolutely nothing to do with who actually may be the owner. This is a unique case I agree of which some on here apparently take pleasure in bashing which is just stupid if you ask me. Shows their true intelligence, or lack of it as the case may be. And my name is not on the title Of course that may be because in NH anything over 10 years old doesn't need a title  I am not saying nor have I ever said that if you don't like it then your attuitude is crap. It's the way some go way overboard telling us they don't that I call crap. Again, it is quite obvious who's comments are constructive, be it positive or negative, and who's comments are merely a ploy to try and start a flame war and just stir things up. "Look at me, look at me as I insult this kids car". Give us all a break. If you don't like it thats fine. Just say, it's not my cup of tea. But when some as we have painfully seen go into long drawn out adjectives of insulting comments is not constructive crtism, but just pure BS crap and I will call it that way everytime someone slings it. Listen, if you know a way to get a 10 year olds name on a car registration and allow them to go to driving class you let me know. As for if someone doesn't agree with me then their attitude is crap is not what I said. First, I was merely showing sneak peak pics, not asking for anyones opinion though I knew I would get some which is fine. But as many on here have said allready, there is two ways to say I don't like it. You can say not my style, not what I would do, etc, etc as some have done and then you can spew out a bunch of insulting BS crap which were the ones I was commenting on. Oh, and thanks for that great post litespd, as I am sure others as I am are greatfull for it and for wasting more of our time having to read more useless dribble. I would return the favor in one of your threads sometime, but unlike you and a few others that seem to enjoy junping into someones thread and hijacking it by posting this kind of "helpfull" stuff, thankfully I am not like that. It's really a shame that you can't come on this Fiero board and show what you have been doing without getting some members who feel that they just have to hijack it with their long winded insults and then repeat post to try and back up their BS with more BS. I would like to thank Savagery, Lex, Firefox, Stimpy and litespd for making me, my son and many others glad that we tried to share what we are doing. You are all truly great members of this forum and we should all bow down to your wisdom and knowledge as your helpfull attitudes are so refreshing and welcome to the rest of us  ------------------ Thanks Kameo Now over 500 pics of our growing fleet of Pontiac excitement: http://www.cardomain.com/id/fiero5

I like to keep my mouth shut on most threads that begin to bug me, but in this case, I kinda want to type my little opinion. While not my tastes, this is a COOL CAR for a kid going to high school, and when I see a new thread talking about it, I click it. Nobody is forcing me to click it, I just do because i'm curious. Even if Jordan doesn't drive for 6 more years, he can (and will) change the car around to suit his tastes then. And even if Steve is building a car for himself and calling it his son's(I am not saying this is the case), who cares. They are doing it together, and Jordan can say it is his. Back in HS, I drove a 1978 Olds Delta 88. It was a CRAP CAR, broke down weekly. I'd have been soo happy to have something with crazy/funky neon lights etc, and would have been darn proud of it.. and to say I built it with my dad would be even better. Would I want that now, no? Then.. yes. It's just nice to see a dad and a son working on a project together . I work in a school district. do you know how many parents totally neglect their kids these days? It's AMAZING. If you want to do a project with your son, and show us build up pics, more power to ya man. Sorry, would normally keep my mouth shut (er.. my hands from typing), but this is just a rediculous thread to get flamed. Some people don't like V8s, that's no reason to jump in and complain about a V8 buildup thread. If ya dont like it, don't click it. Back in school, a friend used to say "Everybody likes the smell of farts".. When you asked him why, he'd say.. "What's the first thing you do when someone says ' I FARTED'.. You sniff"..

Holly crap Steve! Ok, for everyone saying "He is a kid, how would you like it if someone told you your car was ugly when you were that old." What is worse, some stranger on the internet saying that he doesn't like your car? Or your own father, treating other forum members who are expressing an opinion, like they are worthless pond scum. Steve, you get praise for spending quality time with your son, seems like you spend money on your car, throw your sons name on it, have him hang around as you do stuff to it, ask his opinion in the odd place, and all of a sudden you are father of the year. I am guitly of this too, I have posted in a few of yoru others posts that it is great you are doing this with Jordan. It wasn't untill I saw the censorhip thread, and this thread that I now feel sorry for Jordan. Savagery DID have a point, how many threads do you have on this car, not that you have posted pics of this car in, just posts dedicated to this car alone! The fact that people are saying this car is ugly has no bearing, they wont keep running into it, and wont keep posting if you used ONE THREAD! You don't want Jordan to get his feelings hurt by people saying his car is ugly as sin, then USE ONE THREAD! You will get half as many people, and people wont post twice that the car is ugly. As for you quoting someone, and then inserting "Crap not worth repeating" How arrogant is that? Litespd just happen to say the same thing I was thinking after your reply to stimpy. I wasn't going to type it, but I still thought it. I could care less who is the driver, but litespd also didnt BRING IT UP. He just said a few simple little words. You may not have meant to say that if you didnt like the car your attitude is crap, but that is exactly what you said to Savagery. Who are you to say he went overboard, he simple stated he didnt like the car, then he backed it up with a reason and closed his statement with a perfect recapture of his previous statements. His reason was appropriate, that the car needs one thread, not a number in the double digits. As for you not jumping into others threads and posting this "helpfull" stuff as you call it... maybe you are right. Maybe you don't do that, I personally haven't seen it... what I did see, was you posting pictures of this car, and posting Jordan this, Jordan that... Now I dont have a problem with this, I think Jordan is lucky, as stated above, but what is different from you doing that, or them posting their "helpfull stuff". Think about it, just because you find nothing wrong with it, doesnt mean they dont. So to you, they are being "trolls" to them, you are the "troll". "I would like to thank Savagery, Lex, Firefox, Stimpy and litespd for making me, my son and many others glad that we tried to share what we are doing. You are all truly great members of this forum and we should all bow down to your wisdom and knowledge as your helpfull attitudes are so refreshing and welcome to the rest of us " That is completely pathetic Steve... this is the type of stuff, that is making me post here, stop thinking you are hollier than everyone else. Sometimes I wonder if it is actually you or Jordan posting because you treat it like a school yard arguement. When are you going to start pulling hair? Thank you litespd for bringing up this thread http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/039802-2.html Between this thread and that, I am starting to change my point of view on this car. It makes me wonder if you are actually defending Jordan, or yourself. Are you doing this car for your son, or you. Are you spoiling your kid, or spending quality time.... good thing it is none of my business... I mean I would give my opinion, but then I would be a troll right?

Ok whatever dude Show me where everyone else always posts the latest on their cars always in the exact same original thread? Actually I tried but you know what? Jordans build up thread is archived. So tell me there genius how I am supposed to post continued pics of things we are doing on it in an archived thread? Yeah, I thought so  Also, after a thread gets hijacked, why on earth would someone want to go back and post more in it where people who are interested have to continually wade thru all the BS just to see the latest? Starting a fresh thread sometimes makes more sense to let the old hijacked one die. So if you really want the pics to stay in one thread, stop ruining the current ones that people are trying to use. Talk about a lack of common sense. As for the other thread litespd was commenting on, if you are saying that cussing and swearing and acting like a donkeys butt on this public forum is Ok, then hey knock yourself out. I am not the moderator here, just a member with an opinion just like you. I was only tyring to point out like many others were as well that it would actually be nice if some members would try and use a bit more common sense from time to time and try and keep it a bit cleaner around here on occassion on this public forum thats all. I guess this thread alone shows how some can't handle using common sense before clicking reply. We have a 16 year old that just posted on this thread that sounds more intellegent than some of you. I would like to thank those of you who have posted intelligently and with respect here and for those of you who nicely said it's not your style, I appreciate your honesty as thats fine too. For those of you however who feel that you need to come in threads like this one and try and hijack them with totally inappropriate insults and useless comments, I think the majority of this community has allready spoken on how they feel about attitudes like that. And yes, I am enjoying working on this car with my son. It wouldn't have been my first choice of what to do with it either though how many different things can you do with a lime green painted Fiero? But now that we are into it I am having a blast. If that comes thru when I post some things on it then whats wrong with that? And to think that all of this resulted from my simply posting a few pics of Jordans Fiero at night LOL Well, I guess since we have some who seem to feel it sooo neccessary to continue to try and steer this one off course, the next mods we want to show will probably be continued in a new fresh thread. Wow, I just a wrote the sequal

I've got to say that this is the most critical post I've put in this thread. Apparently it rates me being singled out as crushing the soul of some poor 10 year old kid. Come on Steve, be real with yourself, whenever you see some 16 year old kid driving around in a $70,000 SUV you know it's daddies car. Doesn't matter who is driving it, whose CD in in the stereo, or whose name in on the title. Chances are is that it was bought with daddies cash and that it is an extension of the dad's ego. I'm not going to judge that, I was given a car for my HS grad present. Go you. Far more annoying for me then the repetitve viewing of the radioactive booger is your pitiful persecution complex. I actually threw in a compliment for your "freshening" of a Fiero that was pretty sad when you started out. I wouldn't have taken that on myself. But I'm following you around from post to post? Get over yourself. Anyway, I thought you left us for the kinder gentler fiero.com?

I never said that, in fact I think you have posted on that forum a lot more than I have LOL So how is Fiero.com? The last I saw they seem to have taken a liking to you over there, that is after you showed them all your soft gentle side and even told them it actually wasn't a bad place at all and you said you would keep two browsers open so as to use that forum as well if I remember correctly. As for your not following me around, should I do a search of posts I have started in the say the last 3 months or so and see how many of them you posted your witty little dribble in? I bet it's almost a 100%  Nice try there Stimp. Well, back to our regularly scheduled thread hijacking.

Wow... first of all, I always thought that when you post on the forum, your username is posted to the left of it, and the latest post, is the last in teh thread. That sure makes it hard to find what is an update from all the other posts. And there is a difference between one or two topics, and a number in the double digits. That neither here nor there anyways, what is important, is you are just as much of a "troll" as everyone else posting how they don;t like your sons car.

Did you read that last thread? or just type? I am guessing you just typed. If you actually did read it, well... the only words that come to mind are wow.... ummm... good points! ???

Weren't you saying something about intelligence before? Thanks Minn! As for your reply to Stimpy, how is posting in your threads following you? So am I following you around too? I have posted in a lot of your threads? What about the 100's of other people who have posted mult times in your threads? At least you aren't full of yourself.... oh.... ummm.....
