Didn't see nuttin' yellow. Did pass a black Gt on the 540 this am, thought it was going same place but he turned off. First other Fiero I've seen on the road in god knows how long. These cars must be getting 'rare'!
I keep telling myself that when the swap is done, that I would see if its cool if I join everyone. But, its still on blocks. I should be done at the end of oct. I hope. So, if all is done, would you all mind if I joined you?
When & where will the next meeting be? The Fiero Factory is suppose to have my 4.9 swap completed in the next couple of weeks. This could be it's first outing!
Hey guys, with the weather getting colder, are the meets still on? I got my car (finally!) and am eager to show up with it, instead of my Town car, for a change.
I'm not sure if anyone was planning to come out this month, but we're planning a cruise over by Jordan Lake this Saturday. Instead of meeting at the normal Starbuck's location we're meeting at the Beaver Creek Ihop in Apex. Same time, 9am.

I'm not working Saturdays any longer, but (if these meets are still happening), I'll be in Chicago during the September meet. Will there be one in October? Are they still the last Saturday of the month?
I emailed FieroVin and asked him for an update on this meet - for those interested, here's the new info:
Meet is at:
Barry's Cafe 2851 Jones Franklin Road Raleigh, NC 27606
Always on the last Saturday of the month unless there's a special event. (This month it's the 30th.) I presume it's still at 9am (he didn't mention a new time) www.facebook.com/triangle2seaters
This is really off topic here, but I thought maybe one of you might know where I can find a GT rear clip locally. I was hit in the back and they want to total it because they can't find parts.
oh man! That's ridiculous. Did you point out that the car is street legal without those panels? Just find some replacement brake lights or something and call it a day. lol

A few years ago, a deer went over my decklid and ripped the wing off. I carry full coverage on the car.
The insurance company totalled it, wrote me a check, I paid them $700 out of that check to buy the car back, replaced the wing and spent the money to get the paint job I have now.
I'd documented the custom work I'd had done on the car, so the value was higher than simple Blue Book for a 20-year old Fiero w/200,000 miles on it.
My title says it's a Total Loss Salvage, but I have no problems registering it, having it inspected, etc. - it's a non-issue for me. I was told that it could affect resale value, but 1) I'm never going to sell this thing anyway, and 2) even if I did, the buyer would either meet my asking price or not get the car, regardless of what the Blue Book or anyone else says it's worth.
I'm not sure how many of my details are similar to yours, but having the insurance company total my car for a fixable (for me) issue and sell it back to me was one of the best things that ever happened with my car.
