I just wanted to share my observations as a newbie and relay a story involving my experience with fellow fiero owners.
About 2 months ago I found myself in somewhat of a fiero crisis. I am originally from Ohio, but moved to Florida in 99 and unfortunatly had to leave my fiero behind as my wife and I could only manage to bring down our other 2 cars at the time.
Since I had planned to sell the car anyway it was no big deal. But since that time I had
changed my mind and had become interested in
the fiero again and planned to keep it.
Well the car was at my parents home, and since I was not there and driving it I had let the registration lapse and obviously things go bad over time and it needs work. Well the city they live in recently began a crackdown on unlicensed and Junk (bite your tongue !) or inoperable vehicles.
Even though the vehicle was on their property it had to be licensed or garaged. Well garaging was a possiblity but first my dad, had a major cleaning out to do in the garage to get it done,...and problem was he had recieved a warning giving him just a few days to get it done.
Faced with a do or die dilemma I rememered reading on the forum how willing other members were to help other fiero owners out who were in a bind.
WIth this in mind I contacted the Southwestern Ohio Fiero Association with a last minute plea for help.
A very nice lady by the name of Kathy responed promptly and offered any help she could provide including a place to temporarily store my fiero until I can find a way to transport it to florida.
Mind you she had never met, spoken to, or even heard of me before.
I was stunned. Luckily I did not have to bother her as some relatives help my dad ready the garage and they beat the deadline, but it was just amazing how eager she was to help a fellow fiero owner.
Just wanted to say thanks formally Kathy.
And she is not the only one,..Day in and Day out there is a great sharing amongst owners....Fiero folk are just great people !
