You had better. I stepped out of the car and nearly froze...it wasn't over a hundred degrees.

No...The funny part was watching him almost fall flat on his face when he took his first steps after driving that far.

Sitting in a Fiero for two days is a part of the fun...you should try it some time.

Ohioindy would not know what to do sitting in a Fiero. He only knows how to put them on trailers and sit and look at them. Admittedly, I am not any better, but seeing as how he gave me this tonight, he deserves this ribbing,

First and only time I will wear this. It will make a nice cleaning towel for the Fiero!

Right click...save as.....

I'm glad to see the Gilmore Museum in K-Zoo is included in this list. I was there last weekend and WOW do they have an awesome collection of cars. Anyone that loves cars would enjoy the collection they have. There are 10 barns full of very rare cars starting from the late 1800's through the mid 70's. While you're in K-Zoo visit Bell's brewery and the Air Zoo museum as well.

Cool, Turbo! Looks like we'll have to fit the Gilmore Museum into our itinerary--maybe Monday when we leave and head for So. Bend to the Studebaker Museum. Thanks!!

Be sure to tell them you're a AAA member and get a couple buck discount. They don't check anyway.

Enjoy!

I counted 134 in one pic from above, but I know there were some off camera on both sides.

I heard over 250.

We had 262 registered cars. We know a few did not make it due to issues on the road. There were also a some cars that parked in the other lots, maybe 15? So as a guessestimate, I would say 270.

I hope everyone had as much fun as I did. Thanks again to those who came, and those who attended in spirit. I'll be posting again as WingNut-MD and am officially retiring this user name. Maybe I'll be back as Fiero 30 - Mark?

I walked the grounds shortly after 1PM on saturday and counted 285 which included the prototypes. That also included one which was in the DQ parking lot

Did you count the one at McDonalds?

My best advice when it comes to your Fiero is to "NOT" do any dealings with www.kitcarman.com

or the two coupes at Burger King?

Was anyone else dissapointed that Hulkie didn't speak? I was at the banquet just for that ... lol although the Indy guy was a ball :d

------------------
I have a Fiero.. Weeeee

I thought the speakers were pretty good, but I'll admit that I too was kinda disappointed when Hulki didn't say more.

There was a realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly great story from Hulki's friend just before him so he had no time to speak

Did you count the ones over at the hotels next door?

Hulki has spoken so many times at are shows and would rather have others speak. He wanted his time to be given for his close friend Alex Mair. For this I apologize. Hope you did get to see him or talk to him as he walked the show .

No, why didn't I think of that?

Burger King? Umm, No.

quote Originally posted by AuNROD: Did you count the ones over at the hotels next door?

Nope didn't think of that either.

Ok, at the 30th I think it is going to be someone elses job to count
