Give me a break.. What are your trying to prove? Its not ignorant to state the truth. I think I made my point with my last post. No one else seems to have a problem with my statement. Check out the replies from 85 gt fiero & fropuff. MOST (I did not say all young drivers or you) can't appreciate cars. They are just to young. If you want to take it a step further.. A lot of young Fiero owners here on this Forum are not true Fiero enthusiasts. The Fiero just happens to be there first car & when it dies they will move on to whatever car comes along next. I've been here for a couple years & I've seen them come & go. (do you really think there over 5000 members here?) Most don't leave on a bad note like Dude16 did. So just calm down a little. I did read your original reply & I know your were not trying to flame me. I am not flaming you either.  |

The reason that I pointed that out, and why I actually made a deal out of it is because even though I do not post a whole lot, I read this forum every day, well many times a day, and from what I have seen you have always had a very level headed post, and your post seemed to stick out because when i noticed Haze_Performance I wanted to read it because I thought it would be an excellent post. I take offense when people stereotype because of age. Hell, even I do this, so I do realise I am being hypocritical, When I see some punk kid even if he/she is my age, I still think "There is a little sh!t who doesn't know how to treat a car." Everyone on here seems to be making this either a "ricer" issue or an age issue, and to me it is all ignorance. I don't agree that it is most 16 year olds can't appreciate the car, I agree that we seem to think it is most teenagers because why would you notice the good drivers of that age? They fit in with everyone else. I live in a small town, and this idea is present all the time. The local police force will only go after teenagers. Why? Because of sterotypical ideas. Often the teenagers stick out in our minds more because when we see it we think "Punk teenager" rather than when an adult is driving like a punk, it is just "@$$hole." and we go on with our buisneess. I am glad you realise I am not trying to be rude, and I honestly don't mean to pick on you even though I am, but I am slowly trying to fight this stereotype, because that is exactly what it is... a stereotype. Anyway... before this does become something else, I will leave this post here, and just read, not respond to, your rebutle so that i stop taking away from the topic at hand... This punks gaudy attitude, ever since his first post, giving all elders reason to their agnst for us "youngsters"... Sorry if anything was took personally.

Everyone has torn into you so I feel no need to do so. But I offer this advice. How reliable do you think an older, modded twin turbo Z is going to be? It's a high maintence car with high priced parts. How much do you think insurance is going to be on a modded twin turbo sports car? Do yourself a favor, save your money, don't live for your car. A car is an object. It, or one like it, will be there tomorrow. I couldn't afford a Fiero or any sports car when I started college so I waited. Now I can finally get one. To get it and not worry about putting bread on the table is perhaps one of the most joyful expierances of my life. It's hard, but if that car starts taking your money away, free time away, your life away, then get rid of it. We grow up once. Do you really want to spend your youth asking if "you want mushrooms on that" just so you can maintain a car? We live once. Don't waste it. Despite all of what you said, and you were wrong to say it, I still wish you good luck.

Heres a thought for everyone, for my fiero with a spotless driving record, I pay $150.00 a month for insurance. He lives in BC as well. In BC, when you first get insurance you pay the max rate and once a year you get a (crappy) discount of 5%. The only way out is to put it under daddy's name.If(when) Dude wipes out his car, Daddys insurance goes back to the max rate. There are no competitors here to turn to for a cheaper rate. Oh, and I managed a restaurant before deciding to go to school. I could have hired a 15 year old for a max of 15 hours a week only with parents permission. If 8$ an hour for 15 a week can buy a 300 for 15,000, then my paycheck should just about cover those pesky payments to porsche. His whole story reeks of BS. I read that he was accepted to med school in another post, right. I'm next in line to the throne of England. |

There is no limit? 20 hours a school week and full time in summer? You might be talking about tax level or something.

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 390hpSecond, So I am 16 and I have a g/f? your point is, high school relationships end over what kind of music people listen too....so might as well make the blowjobs last and then pick up new ***** in my 300zx. time to have fun not to get married. 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. 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.... They didn't stop producing fiero because they were such a wonderful car. Fieros are not very parctical, not very good looking unless you get $3000 rims and low profile tires. Overall they are a crappy car. Fun to drive but thats all. Nissan Power All The Way - On Student budget so unless my dad buys me rims this is the way this thing gona look  |

We really hate to see ya go.. Why don't you just leave then? What kinda life do you have that you have to post stuff in a Car Forum about a car you don't even own. Get lost & and go bug a Nissan Forum... P.S. Why the hell would someone take a car to a shop for a 50-point inspection if they were buying it from their Father??  Oh well.. Don't let the door hit ya..

Dude16: Go back and read your posts. Are you honestly that pathetic that you don't realise how stupid, and obtuse you are being? I have absolutely no idea what you were trying to get at with that second point, but it sounded pretty pathetic. I think you were TRYING to mock someone and did a real shitty job.
I am friends with many people from the 300ZX club here, they all (10-15 people) agree that the Fiero GT and the later Z cars are very similar. Granted you are entitled you your opinion and so are they, but before you make a post wanting to make a point, how about you do at least a little bit of a backround check. Learn about WHY the Fiero was discontinued, then you can also compare the Fiero to ALL OTHER cars of the SAME YEAR TODAY, and see how they standup. Grab a pic of Skitime's GT, and throw it beside your Z and tell me those cars arent VERY similar. To me the body style of the Z could easily be the newer Fieros. Just my opinion, but stop giving us truth to your ignorance and credulity. EDITED BECAUSE: I typed it out wayyy to damn fast and it had A LOT of errors.
