Start off by not including work in your bucket list. Notice my list didn't include work.
Welp I don't think of "working on my cars" as work for some reason working on the fun cars isn't the same as working on the daily driver.. lol one is zen the other @#$%^&^
Cars I want: -A Fiero (done) -Find my mom's 86 -Roadster 88 GT with some stupid-fast motor
Stuff I wanted/want to do: -Lead a parade (done) -Drive through the Blues Brothers mall (done) -Autocross -Drive in all 50 states including Hawaii -Drive Tail of the Dragon -Drive to Toronto and Montreal (Canada's Wonderland and LaRonde, respectively - did the former last year but forced to take the other car) -Drive the Nurburgring
I would like to offer a suggestion, based on the understanding I know nothing about your circumstances other than you are married, you are addicted to cars in general and Fieros specifically and you live in Hazelwood, MO. You need to move the Tyler Shipman/Frazee trip higher on the list. I watched the Tyler build at home in Pittsburgh thanks to Danyel's magic with internet communication, and got hooked. When time came for the 1st Tyler Shipman show, I talked myself out of it; too far, I'm too important at work, I don't know anybody, etc.etc. When people stated talking about the 2nd Show, in January 2011, I decided that if I didn't make the effort to go, in 15-20 years I would be sitting on my deck wishing I should have gone because now I can't. I went to the 2nd show in 2011 and met lots of great people. I had such a good time I went back for the 5th in 2014 and I already have plans to head back in 2016. And yes, I drove my Fiero all 1250 miles from Pittsburgh to Frazee and back. It's a great time. This year I plan to head to Davenport, IA for RAREW66 Heartlands Fiero Show. You want to see some rare, interesting and historic Fieros, take a look in his garage. Add Davenport to your list and it's only a 5/6 hour drive from Hazelwood. I'm sure your wife would enjoy the groups as well. I learned from both Frazee and the 30th in Indianapolis there are a lot of female Fiero aficionados as well. Not a all guys only kind of hobby. Maybe we'll run into each other someday .....not literally!

I smiled to see my name on someone's list. My list would include the same.
1. Let my choptop see the light of day and caravan again with other Fieros, (but it's been pushed down the list by too many other things.) 2) Meet Archie - Check 3) Meet Hulki - Check 3) Own more than one, Check, Check, Check, Check, Check, Check, Check, Check, ... 3) Get rid of a few Fieros, Check, Check, Check, 4) See the 89/90 Fiero - Check
Seems like I've done everything on my list except actually drive my Fiero!
only real one left is to buy one of them sweet 3800 Turbo monsters from one of them Flint MI, boys. JustinBart or Dark Horizon if they ever a sellin..... I am aaaaa buying \m/
