Met some great people today, and saw some beautiful Fieros along with that.
Unfortunately mine stayed home as I was uncomfortable driving it that distance with the dash I was delivering in the passenger seat. HHR to the rescue again. lol
Pictures, and more to come as I convert them for PIP.
------------------ There's one in every crowd, and usually it's me. 1988 Solid roof GT!

This appears to be an official pace car with the Super Duty engine. This being the case, it was intended to do a few laps around the track. GM saw no need to have working headlights for this, and were probably never installed.
I do not know this for certain, but it is a likely explanation.
No problem. I actually enjoy going to car shows etc. and documenting them.
Sadly this may be my final Fiero event as an actual owner...…. I am finding myself having far too much difficulty getting in and out of mine. Thinking along the lines of a Stealth R/T or 3000GT which I still really love and miss dearly.
This was my first Stealth R/T and would love to find another just like it, but a '94 and up with the headlights being in the fender, not pop ups. This was just as much fun as my 3000GT VR4, but without the AWS and twin turbos. I no longer have anyone to impress with acceleration, so lowering the bar so to speak.
(LOL, yes Patrick, I like the newer ones better, this was a '92 and then I had a '95 Stealth R/T which I preffered. ).
I still love my Fiero, but sometimes life, time, and age has a greater influence over our choices. Once I am in, it is great, but getting in and then out again...… I am sure some of you can relate.
I do have the '88 up for sale or trade (not going to post it here) for a Stealth R/T or 3000GT, so moving on shall we say, and yes, I am asking way too much for it as I am still betwixed and between. Dave
Forgot to add that the car in the picture you quoted is one very beautiful example of what a Fiero could be. I am a purist, but between this one and the Plazma, I may just be swayed from my thoughts!
It is truly a shame all of the pictures from that thread are gone.

Edited my last post, and Patrick, I love your thought process!
My mother still reminds me that when I went on a carnival ride back in the '50's, I would look at all the gears and motors instead of the pony I was on. Twisted minds think alike...…..

My favorite playthings as a kid were Tinkertoy, and then Meccano. I always wanted to make and modify mechanical things. I guess we were both eventually destined to be Fiero owners! lol

Lincoln logs and erector sets for me.
I can remember building a crane that would topple over if I lifted a weight too large for it, so I made a larger platform! Good times, very good times.
I talked to the driver of the Aldino. The Aldino was brought by a person who works for the owner of the Aldino company. They have that one and a much nicer black one. They show up at the Dells every once in a while. The company is for sale and the cars are for sale.
