After submitting and becoming the highest bidder 1/100 of a second prior to an auction close on Ebay for a Fiero part you have been extensively looking for for "X" years to finally complete your Fiero Restoration project is proportionally related to "always" being outbid at official auction close by someone else that needed the part less then you did.

Hate when that happens.
Being outbid that is

Fieros are distant relatives to rabbits. They multiply overnight right in your driveway!
The louder the belt squeal is directly related to how early in the morning it is when you leave which is equal to how many houses you live to and how close you are to them.
The cleaner your Fiero is will be based on how quickly you will then come up behind a vehicle with no mud flaps, upon which they will then pass directly thru mud or dirty puddles in front of you.

You know you're in a fiero when you: A: Have to angle your a$$ in the car if you have any type of boots on B: Find that the little space between the seats and the center console attracts 99.9% of interior/stereo screws, nuts, bits or bolts.

Fingers will always tend to be at their "fattest" when you need them to manuever and hold parts into a space which was larger and spacious to the engineer on the original manufacturing blue print.
Wow!! must be murphies law. Another poster from North Dakota!! Just when you think your the only one in your state that owns a fiero.. another one pops up!!

Baldlobo: Maybe... I had heard that the event on Jun 3 had a "exhibition" type autocross event in the parking lot. Must be thinking of the other meet then. Depends on whether the car's ready or not, I guess

If you have your plenum off and manifold uncovered, and drop a bolt IT WILL land right in the intake port and the intake valve WILL be open. Personal expecience x2

You will always be just about to put the car in gear and drive away when you realize it is dark outside and you need to get out, raise the hood and manually raise the headlights so you can see where you're going.
It will always be a 12 year old boy on a bicycle straining to see your car better and not a 23 year old babe like you had hoped.
If your car is going to break down it will always be in front of forty beautiful young coeds participating in a cheerleading competition.

Somehow when working under your Fireo nuts bolts wrenches ect. will always defy the laws of gravity and reach critical velocity just prior to hitting you in the face

Thanks I definatly have a sense of humor when it comes to my Fiero. I just Love theese cars, they are so much fun to sport around in so low to the ground so corner friendly. If I'm not driving it chances are I'm working on it and If I'm not working on it I'm thinking about what I can work on next and I'f I'm not thinking about what to do next I'm poasting stuff here and If I'm not posting stuff here I'm getting Ideas from here to go work on my car!
53 is the total number of posts or days since becoming a member. I didn't know about this forum or I would have joined it 5 years ago

A true Fiero fan belives that there were only 4 years in history 84 thru 88 everything else is X years BF (Before Fiero) or X years AF (After Fiero) there is no other marker of time.

I have often thaught that the Fiero Chiltons manual should include a WARNING! 1 hour prior to changing the pully belts on your Fiero should be dedicated to practicing yoga and body contortion excersises as well as post traumatic stress and anger mangement afterwards.
A part dropped in the engine compartment will reach the floor due to its size, not where it's dropped. A hammer, cinder block, 8'-2x4 or anything in those sizes will reach the floor and land flat, a 1/4" nut, BB or anything that small will disapear and probably end up with that missing sock from the dryer, in never never land,(no not Michael Jackson's place).
