My car just sits for now but i still wash and wax it, i have pictures of it in my room and my wallet, i have a Fiero Tattoo, all my friends know fact about Fieros because i don't shut up about them, just about all my Screen names are FieroFreak or FierogtFreak, i have a hat that i put a Fiero emblem on, i have a Fiero seat for my Video game see. How much of a Freak are you?

lol i am a fiero freak indeed, it is 3:56 AM and im reading the forum. im not planning on having a fiero tatoo tho. Everybody that i know knows about fieros. Once i chased someone driving one but the guy didnt seem too interested. im on the forum when i wake up, before work, after work, whenever i have free time. I drive my car daily, wash it before it rains and talk to it ( just kidding).
the only thing im afraid of is when there is something wrong with the car and i'm counting days till Fierorama.

so yea, i am a little hooked,

My car also sits outside, but I keep it rather clean. Many of my screen names also include Fiero, and I drive around with one eye on the road and one on the side, to look for other Fieros.

I am a freak like the rest. All the info I have picked up I keep on talking about to every one. They roll their eyes and say "Here we go again. LOL I plan my schedual around fiero events and gatherings. I get all excited about up coming shows. As other fieros pass me (in the other lane) and I give a wave. Although I am not going to geta tatoo...but I do have a lot of Hot Wheels fieros and models, (am selling) and to complete the ensamble the all important fiero hat. lol Half the space on me laptop is all fiero things, info and pics.

You know you're a Fiero freak when you look at any Fiero, anywhere and see it for it's potential.

If this is any indication, I named my car the Silver Freak. I can't stop tweaking / modding it. It's getting out of control!!!

I drive my co-workers nuts talking about Fieros and new stuff I had learned to work on them. I have a wrecked parts car on 4 jack stands in the driveway(my neighbors love me). My wife hates my car because she wants it to drive to work every day and I said "no". I spend lots of time on the forum at work and at home to find out about any new things I can improve my car(average 4 hr at least. And here is the kicker, I've only drove the car myself only .02 miles up to my moms to change the oil as it had hardly any brakes and back home. I almost hit my moms Avalon because I couldn't get it to stop I am almost done with the brake system and I might have it on the road by mid August!

I clean my car before, during and after each drive.
My car is always covered over, except when I drive it of course.
If my car even burps, I replace everything in the vicinity of the problem.
I run my heater constantly and dont run the A/C, all because I dont want to "burden" the engine.
Even going through LA (on the way to Wesfest) I had the heater going......in 95 degree heat! (I know, I need help )
I never accelerate hard. (I dont want to put a strain on the tranny/axles)

Actually since the rad fan kicks on with the AC system, turning on the air conditioning while in slow traffic will make the engine run cooler... I thought I was babying my fieros too much by flipping the air on when entering a traffic cluster#$ck rather than letting it heat up to 235 and flip the fan on by itself. But using the heater or rad fan approaches should only make a difference when there isn't much air flowing through the rad... or if the rad has issues.

Ever thought of just wiring a swtich up direct to the fan so you can turn it on anytime you want, and not have to run the AC too?

I got our local Fiero Club rolling and am also President 5 years later (because nobody wants the job).
Our members have varying degrees of "Fiero freakiness", but I'm afraid if I died, the club would too

Yup. Some see a car needing paint and an windshield. They're all potential show cars in my eyes.

Got three--one in the garage, two in the driveway.

Fiero freak? Don't know about that. But my email is fiero@cl**rwire.net. Partly because it's easy to type and easy for family to remember. They think I'm crazy, btw.

Just remember, a Fiero in the garage is worth two in the driveway. Isn't that how that saying goes? Or was that supposed to be something about birds and bushes?

The greatest highlight of a perfect trip recently to Puerto Rico was discovering a lonely old 87 Coupe on a side street in some neighborhood.

You been to my house? 1 in the garage, two in the driveway. (The Geo Tracker and the Seadoo are out in the street.)

Got this today (my front plate. There's a back one just like it!) Wish there were a 12 step program. I think I got a problem. . .

Getting over an addiction is mind over matter. But since we don't mind, it don't matter. Collect away! If someone says something negative about your Fieros, fart in their general direction. lol
