Our club here in Colorado has over 70 members, many of which own multiple Fieros.

For a small city of 80,000 people, there must be at least 10 or 12 running, daily drivers, around here.
When my car broke the clutch arm, in late April, the AAA tow truck driver, told me he has two buddies, with hopped up Fiero's. Both are kind in the "Trying to get Civilized" mode.
One with a V-8, apparently cracked the roof plastic, during a test run, and the other one does wheelies, and drags the exaust pipes on the pavement.
Mine, as well as 4 or 5 others, are in really good shape for their age, and the owners, all take great pride in maintaining and driving these cars.
There is one black colored 85 GT sitting in a front yard, acting as a lawn ornament, with the headlights stuck up, paint looks alright, but hasn't been driven for a while.
Lethbridge is known for something called the "Street Wheelers Weekend". Happens on the second weekend in July. We have a 100 foot dash, in front of the Exibition Grandstand, and apparently a 3.8 Supercharged Fiero, won it last year (2007)
That ought to raise the Canadian tally by a bunch. Plus there are big Fiero Clubs in both Edmonton, and Calgary.
At least two of us are on the forum, from Lethbridge.
Bridgetown, and myself.

85 sport coupe 4cyl auto, 127,000 miles bought used in '89 8,000 miles on rebuilt engine. Drive it every day. Here she is at the 2008 Dells Run.
86 se fastback conversion 6 cyl auto owned for 2 years (father son project) 224,000 miles ebay purchase $400.00 easy fix (overtightened rockers)
86 sport coupe 4 cyl auto found in a field got it for nothing (well $50.00 to tow it out) needs fuel pump, coolant lines, brake lines, and tranny cooler lines. Runs with fuel dumped down throttle body. A lot of rust in trunk. 80,000 miles
Using it as a "shelf" right now (justifiable usage wife wants it gone), going to use it to perfect these soon to be bolt on hinges:
This is a friend's car. With our winter project. (The hinges) He just signed up on the forum hopefully he will chime in.
Ive had 5. Only have my 88GT 3.4 right now. I am in eureka CA and I see fieros all the time. Up in the mountains I see them on the side of the road and in the two small junkyards that are there. I would say I have seen probably 15 to 20 different fieros in the area over the last few years. Eureka is a small northern town with mainly poor and middle class making the fiero is a popular car in this area.
Add two more to WI. I have a white 84 2M4 sport coupe 4speed that just turned over 170,000 miles. My brother has a red 84 2M4 sport coupe, just over 100,000 miles
