After reading about Nick selling his Fiero, it got me to thinking how many regulars here in O/T actually still own a Fiero? This forum actually sometimes seems segregated between O/T and the rest and I recognize a LOT of names here in O/T but usually don't see them as much in General and Tech.
As for me, I have owned a Fiero since the day I joined PFF. It was my problem child 86 GT that was an on-going resto project. Last fall I bought my 87 GT and drive it darn near every day.
I joined PFF right after I sold my Fiero. I knew PFF existed, but just never joined. After selling, I wanted something that could bring me back. I'll get another one... soon...

Parked and waiting for the track days. Commuting in a Toyota 4cyl that only requires infrequent fill ups at the pump, just as a commuter car should be.
I'm down to one. Runs fine, i need to paint it and replace the roof.. AC is still in a box so no way in hell im driving it now. Used to drive it on fridays t work and weekends if i went anywhere.0
i dont do much in gfc or tech as all i know everyone else knows too...

Went from an 84 4 banger to an 86 SE. well it really is Amanda’s car so technically I don’t have one. But I do drive it as often as my back allows. I love them, it’s like driving a gocart on the streets.
And I rarely go to tech, there are a lot of knowledgeable people in there. They don’t need an old fart like me and all my old school redneck ideas.

88 GT with about 45000 miles on it. Third owner. Only put a couple of thousand miles on it myself. Drive it once or twice a week. In just about an hour I will be driving it to San Jose to meet up with some other members of the Golden Gate Fiero Club for a drive up Mt. Hamilton to visit the Lick Astronomical Observatory.

Brennan, with your new ballin' job, buy mine. You know you wanna.
Don't you EVER tell me what to do again...or I send you Anthrax in the mail, except it won't be Anthrax, but you won't know that. You will then call the police to have it inspected. They will learn that it is cocaine and you intern will be arrested for possession of illegal narcotics.
Or you have a PM.
EDIT POOP DUDE. I accidentally sent the PM to myself.

Screw the car, I'll take the Anthrax. Full price, and you send it to me anytime so I don't know when it's coming. I like living life on the edge!!

I still have a truly loved 86 GT that is collecting dust in a garage at a property that I own. I drove it there and parked it many years ago. One day I will go through it and get it going once again,but at this time,I just don't have time. I drive my own newer work vehicles and at this time, I don't have the time for the old girl. I have owned it since 1987.

I haven't owned a Fiero in almost 10 years. As indicated by my join date, I joined after a move forced me to sell off all of my Fieros.
I planned on picking up a Fiero again after moving back to Michigan, but between being a single dad with kids; I need a vehicle with a back seat. Maybe someday in the future, I'll find a Fiero again; but in the meantime, I'm very happy to be part of this community. There's a great group of people on here, and I'm honored to have been able to meet and spend time with the few members that I've met so far.

Still have my '86 Coupe. Not for much longer though, it's for sale, and buyers are lining up.
I guess I'll stick around. Someone has to be a boon to Boondawg, spread rumors about FieroRumor, and nick Fierofetish. It's an ugly job, but somebody's gotta do it.

I have two that run, two that I think I'll combine into one, and another that's just used for parts.
Most of my neighbors (I'm in the city) probably hate me (and/or my yard), but I've been here longer... so they can all go back to wherever they came from.

I have mine, I don't go into the general or tech section because I don't have time to play with my Fiero and it's just a tease to go in there. I have a bunch of parts piled up for a front end rebuild too! Haven't driven it since last year.

I've got a homebrew choptop (not done by me) that I acquired a few years ago, but haven't had the time/money to do anything with it yet except clean out the mess of parts that it came with filling up the interior.
Which I guess is fine, 'cuz I'm eyeing GM's LF3 as a powerplant and that isn't out yet anyway.....but still, I don't know whether that qualifies as me still having a Fiero or not.
I was in GFC and Tech a lot more when I had my running Fiero...but it broke and I couldn't figure out how to fix it and didn't have the money to pay someone else to while I was finishing up college, so I had to get rid of it. I'll get to working on this one eventually....hopefully next summer, based on the way I'm projecting my finances to go....at least this new job is good for something

I sold mine a few months ago. I have a few parts in plastic bins that I'm holding on to. I just moved at the beginning of the month and there's not room for 2 vehicles in the garage yet. My 70 Chevy pickup is sitting outside and the wife's car is in the garage.
