I just got a call from Dave (DareDevil) he was just rear ended in his 84. A car slammed into the car behind dave and in turn the car hit dave and his wife. There both ok but there going to the hospital. Apparentley his 84 is totaled. He has an 85 duke as a project so hes not gone from the hobby but keep him and his wife in your prayers. Hopefuly he gets another fiero.

Perhaps the Fiero can be saved. If the insurance company 'totaled' it, is can be resurected since their figures are slanted against a 25 yeara old vehicle. Do we have pictures? I hope everyone is OK.
If there is any frame damage I would look for another one. Trust me I had the same thing happen to me and I wish I would have taken the money and purchase a car I found in the mall for the exact amount I got. Also now is not the time to be super man. If you feel hurt then follow up with your doctor!!

Thanks for the kind words guys. We are alright except for the massive headaches, sore backs and necks. Everyone involved in the accident ended at different hospitals except for the person that didn't see the red light going at about 40 mph. I thought I was dreaming at the moment. At first I thought I got rearended by a tractor trailer it felt that bad. The impact was worst than what the car looks. Most of the damage is under and behind the bumper.
Maybe I can put a Fiero badge on the front of my Durango and sneak it in the daily driver section at Carlisle.
I guess I'll be focusing on my wife's car. Mabe I can finish before The Carlisle Show, not.

I am happy to see that you are okay. Keep us informed as there are many of us on here that lurk around the forums reading up on everything (like me). Don't lose your obsession with Fieros, though. I think this shows just how safe they can be

I just had the car running great and was talking about meeting up with some Fiero friends next weekend to get the cars ready for Carlisle. Nothing worst than walking by my car in the driveway looking the way it is now.
