Been in and out of Fieros from the age of 24 when I got my first. I hate to admit it, but I just used and abused the previous 2 SEs I owned. That attitude changed once I bought my current one though. I have been healed!
Benny here North Alabama resident(real close to the Fiero Factory) Im 26 I have owned a Fiero since I was 22 always wanted one finally got one at 22. My first and current is an 86 GT white Gray And the latest Ive had a month now is an 88 Formula Red. Is there a support group for us Fiero Addicts?

My name is Sothea, I'm 22. At 16 owned a 86 2m6 that was handed down to me from my sis. Sold it at 19 and got an 88gt, then sold the 88gt at age 22 and recently got my 328 kitcar... whats next, I thinkin about trading my kitcar for a well built fiero that has a different engine besides the 2.8 or Duke. If i could own 20 Fieros i would do it. But why.. I like swapping Fieros every 2-3 years instead.
I am the only Asian guy I know who drives a Fiero. My friends would always say "whoa, thats one sick MotorFudging MR2!"

With a 3/6/44 you can call me gramps, but don't think my 86GT is ready to be put out to pasture, it's a cool and nasty ride and getting even more power. Now if could only figure out how to get more power?
I am from the Netherlands, got my driving licence for a year when I was 22 but didn't like the cars I could buy, but then there was a Fiero 85 2M4!, first thing I sayd was "I got to get me one of these!!" and thats what I did, now I am 25, got my second Fiero, a 85GT 3.1L. I am hooked..
This thread sounds a little like a 12 step program (AA) for Fieros!
Well, my name is Rick, 50 yr old. I wanted an '88GT really bad when they were new but life circumstances at the time said no. Xmas of 2002 I finally got my new '88GT, I found one with 1700 mi on it and brought it home. If all goes right by the end of the weekend I will have a second in the form of an '85 GT (to be my nice weather daily driver).

Must do my bit to up the average..50 and not getting any younger ......
1st 50 years you have youth but no money. 2nd 50 years you have money but your youth is gone (god, I'll miss that girl) It's the following 50 that really have me worried
Just like J Gunsett, I'm 61 and bought the Fiero in April of 2003. My wife said I was old enough to buy one as long as I drive it slowly. RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ed

One more for the over fifty crew. I'm 57 and I've owned everything from a flathead Ford to some relatively modern wheels. I started with a '49 Ford as a teenager but reverted to VW's when I went to Germany (Nothing like putting your foot to the floor of an old 36HP 1200 and lifting only for beer breaks.)
I've been driving sports cars or modified VW's (Up 135 HP) since 66. I even owned a Porsche but the insurance ate me up. Saw the original Fiero at Frankfurt in 84 but I wanted to wait until the promised V6 in 85. Finally bought one in 93 and now I'm sorry I waited so long.

I wasn't going to post on this thread,but it appears there are more people over 40 and that makes me feel better.I am 64,but,and that's a big but,I'm not done yet.I have a 3800SC in an 88GT and the next will be one of the fastest yet to grace the pages of the PFF!

I'm 33 with a small family (Wife and one little girl). I have a 224,xxx 87 GT daily driver. Konis, stereo, lowered, etc.... and an IMSA race car I built. (see sig.)
Is that only one Fiero since the IMSA only uses stock tail lights and shifter knob?

Hi, I'm Rob and been into Fieros since 2000...I'm going onto the big 40 in December but Renee, my wife is beating me to it. She turns 40 in May. It's funny because she's my "Old Lady" for six months out of the year. We both loved the Fiero body style back when it came out but with 2 small kids it wasn't feasible. The first Fiero we purchased was my 86 GT "The Dirty Rat". When I bought it, I never imagined the extent of modifications that car was destine for. What you see today is literally 4 years of blood, sweat tears and money. To me it's worth every penny. It's my dream car. Since then we have owned around 13 - 15 different Fieros that we have bought sold and in worst case, totaled. We currently have the Dirty Rat, Elvira's 87 GT named "TrueBlu" our 19,000 mile Indy with the 300HP SD and a Gold junkyard rat that we're parting out. I have to say that we have truly enjoyed the Fiero experience from both an automobile and a camaraderie standpoint. Rock on and long live the Fiero!

hello my name is Andrew,I'm 33 and i'm a fieroholic.I own three fieros now have owed more than ten.I will own many more. It's nice to be amongst people that understand my condition. When they say i'm krazy and there no good for me and i should buy a GOOD car it can get lonely. But i stand my ground and defend our little beasts knowing i'm not really alone. That thousands of others are out there the same as me gives me strength to fight the masses. And when they laugh all i show em is my fiero's azz cause were gone.

Hi I am 53, will be 54 at the end of the year. My first ride was a 56 Desoto, then a 62 Valiant. I built a race motor for that car in college, but never installed. Bored out and ported etc a 225. My first car that I bought myself was 69 Z28. That was fun! It got me into Solo 2! I had Trans Am's but an ex talked me into getting rid of them and then she dumped me. I missed having a Pontiac (POCI member) and a sporty car while being single so I bought a car (88 coupe) that was destin for the scrap yard. I drive it everyday and love blowing the doors off of pickups in the curves! I think I am addicted!

Hello, my name is Mark and I'm addicted to Fieros.
I'm 34 and I own an 85 GT. I bought it back in April of 2003 after a long 19 year wait. I was 14 when the Fiero was introduced and I've wanted one ever since I first saw an Indy back in 1984.
We both loved the Fiero body style back when it came out but with 2 small kids it wasn't feasible. The first Fiero we purchased was my 86 GT "The Dirty Rat". When I bought it, I never imagined the extent of modifications that car was destine for. What you see today is literally 4 years of blood, sweat tears and money. To me it's worth every penny.
