I have been married for 25 years. She denies it but I think she dated me because I had a Fiero. (As they say, it was a chicks car.) At the time I had an 85 SE. Then I bought an 84 SE. Then an 87 GT. Then a 86 GT.
I told my Wife that I was going to keep buying till I got the Holy Grail. The 88 GT T Top. Which I did get. (It had been setting in the PFF Mall for a week, and was located 60 miles away, 98,000 miles, very nice.)
Now, , I having to tell her I want another one. Mine have always been bone stock as I prefer things that way, while always appreciating the customized modifications others do. The one I now want has been "customized".
87 GT. Dual rear quarter panel side scoops, a nicely done front hood scoop, a nice off hue blue paint job, Mr Mike's leather seats, with matching blue leather inserts. 88 DOT Matric dash surrounds. 2.8, rebuilt around 2000. It is calling my name.
The Wife is also calling me names, and she says divorce attorney names.
Will She Stay, Or Will She Go ? Are you a betting man ?
I've been married for 21 years and my wife still likes me-LOL. She supports my many hobbies and enjoys seeing me smile. For all the time married within the context of what is moral legal and responsible; the bottom line is that my wife and myself run our lives together while also enjoying separate interests. When I want to buy something, she never says no because marriage is to find a partner not a boss to share life with . My wife who is 17 years younger, gets what she wants too.

As do I (not your Wife, )
I am not up to customizing anything anymore. Even another wife, . I am not a betting man, but, I think I might be able to get away with it (the purchase).
I have got her from a hard "NO", to a "we will not be buying insurance for it", and also she "doesn't want to see it parked out front".

I admire and respect your opinion. I have never seen one. I have heard nice opinions of them.

Hmm. . Hence the reason I did not marry you, .
I see your point. This customized Fiero in the Mall, https://www.fiero.nl/forum/...m4/HTML/081009.html, started out at $4250.00 and now is down to $3750.00. It's nice. Also custom paint and leather seats.
Sorry but really? When I met my wife, I had my original from new 85 GT. While we never did the deed inside (we're both over 5'10'), that car had a knack for finding secluded locations . I sold my 68 Firebird for an engagement ring then sold the GT for a wedding ring. After #1 son was born, I bought a low mileage 86 SE an held onto that for almost 20 years and started an ambitious 3.8 swap I didn't finish. In the meantime, she bought a beautiful 86 SE herself. We sold that a few years ago as getting in and out was getting harder for her. In a nutshell, Fieros were a big part of our relationship through the years. My Tempest is the next to go so where we do we go from here? A Fiero is not out of the question...

SOLD Are you the one who bought it? Will She Stay, Or Will She Go?

I am the one who bought it. Better than I expected. It had/has more amenities than advertised. Including a 1987 original owners manual, a 1987 factory service manual. A Clifford key less door lock/unlock key fob, which also opens the trunk. Remote start while leaving the doors locked. Theft alarm to boot.
87FieroGT was a great guy to deal with. He sold it to me for a good price.
My Wife was a tough sell. At first it was a HARD no. Then it was "we can not insure it", and also I had to park it at my other property. Now she won't let me park it on the street, but up close to the house is good. She doesn't want to see it stolen. She will stay and let me stay.
Just so you know Cliff, I still have that Clifton watch that CVXJetboat sent me to restore for you! I will get it done in the October and send it out. So far, I'm right on track for my estimated 6 month turn-around time! Hahah... but, you'll get a complete video of me restoring it... as well as the watch from CVX.
