I did tons of research before I got my Fiero. When I bought it....I made doubly sure there'd never be a fire if I could help it. I also double check potential hazards periodically.....fuel leaks, oil on exhaust manifolds, wires/insulation/hoses looking ok....etc. Funny thing is....when I first got it and I would get behind someone burning oil out of their exhaust, or someone elses car smelt like gas....I would panic like crazy without even thinking.....I'm checking for smoke in the mirror....wondering when I can get to a stop off so I can pull over and check my baby. Then I find out its the car/truck in front of me. LOL

Also the first time I was driving in the rain....I didn't realize because of the unique shape and driver position of the Fiero....you plainly see the "vapors" kicked up by the back tires from speeding down the wet road, in your rearview mirror. The first time I saw this I thought it was smoke boiling out from the car. It took me a few secs. to realize it was water. After hearing all of the stereotypes for this car over all the years....I can honestly say none of them are deserving of the car, and I'm much more comfortable with it now.
