In this thread though in T-O/T, this thread is about the fact that I just bought another Fiero for my daughter, and that it's about me working with her to get it fixed. I had planned to make a separate post in General for each video she posts, but keep this one updated now and then (for whoever might be interested) on all the other stuff. I didn't even think about that as cross-posting, but I won't do it if Cliff thinks it's a waste.

What is the point of PFF having separate areas if we don't adhere to what distinguishes these areas from one another? It seems totally bizarre to me that at a Fiero forum, you wish to post about your daughter's Fiero experiences in the Totally Off Topic area.  If members need to go to the General Fiero Chat area to read about your daughter's Fiero adventures, is that such a bad idea? Isn't that how Cliff Pennock set this forum up to be used?
Yes, I get it... when your daughter acquired a Fiero, you wanted your friends here to know all about it. Now that they know, they should have no problem finding your posts/threads about it in General Fiero Chat, where it belongs.
The next time you wish to post about armadillos in your yard... yes, by all means... post about it here... in Totally Off Topic!

C'mon man. Cliff Pennock set this forum up for many reasons. Only he and his shadow know why. For all you don't know, he might have set it up for selfish reasons (kidding) so he could get advice for his addiction. Not being selfish, he made the forum more functionally pleasing for all members. So we can share all of our aspects of life and learn each others.
Too bad Jazzman quit the forum and took all of his technical post away but one (blaming me). He would now have a political subsection to not biatch about politics being discussed. Which he would visit, and not have a biatch to stand on. Do not delude yourself, JazzMan was very political. He did not like his views being challenged. To shield his self from that, his gripe became because conversations evolve. To many things. Including politics.
In this case, Todd's thread "in the wrong subsection", what actually was so offending ? It evolved into friendly tow education. Can that not be in the OT subsection. I would have missed that info, nor be able to help, if it was in Chat. I barely go there.
Patrick, are you trying to make Chat more famous ? T/OT is the main draw for use of the forum. The forum is not a Fiero only chat board.

I already covered that, but just for you Cliff, I'll make a few minor changes and state it again...
When Todd's daughter acquired a Fiero, he wanted his friends here (in OT) to know all about it. And that's great! But now that we're aware, none of us should have any problem finding the posts/threads about his daughter's Fiero in General Fiero Chat.
Seriously, if someone can't be bothered to look in General Fiero Chat for discussion on a Fiero (whether it be Todd's daughter's Fiero or otherwise), how interested can they really be?[This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 03-25-2023).]

I can understand your thinking. However, should Todd have made a post in T/OT to let us know about his daughter's first Fiero, "details in Chat" ?
I quit looking into Chat when I saw so too many posts such as "I spied a Fiero on US295. Was that you ?", and "Does this color look good" ?, Also, "Should I get another one" ?
I go to Chat from time to time. It is a good venue. I have some good threads there. Yet, I can be interested in Fiero's at the local tavern. Even a tavern anywhere.

Absolutely. If he didn't, I probably would've!

Those were the days my friend ...
I remember when some would slip the word Fiero in the thread title, or the body of the topic. Just so it qualified for Chat.

Congrats to your daughter on a well done video. I noticed at the 9:36 mark that the pinch bolt where the column connects to the intermediate shaft appears to be missing. If the car is going to be driven before restoration begins, you might want to address that.
I'm looking forward to more of her vids.

Thanks Marc! Yes, that was actually a picture from MY Fiero, which is in storage. The bolt has since been put back in, but that was a picture I gave her showing what the pedals should look like when cleaned up and at the correct height. She couldn't find one online, so I went looking through my old pictures. That car hasn't been driven in like 13 years... still in storage... sigh.

Todd (and anyone else that might be interested),
We previously discussed the car I replaced my FIero(s) with, my Pontiac Solstice. This happened yesterday.
Was at a local grocery store, had ordered a birthday cake for a friend. Came out a bit disgusted because of what I was going to have to pay. My Lord, $54.00 for a birthday cake was running through my head as I opened the door and slid into the Solstice seat.
All of a sudden, I hear a voice coming from behind me.
The fine looking 50ish lady walked up to my passenger door (the top was down as always) and said, "Sir, I just had to tell you that I Love your car.". I said thank you as she disappeared behind me again. I have no idea who the fine lady was but, I had already forgotten about the price of the cake and drove out with a smile on my face.
Just had to share.
Rams
