I regret...

-not wearing any sunscreen at all.. owwwww...
-not being able to spend the whole 3 days at the show, there wasn't enough time to meet everyone and see everything on saturday.

but most of all, I regret not hiring a helicopter to airlift the 1990 prototype back to my house.

As many have already stated I regret not meeting more of the great fiero folks that I talk to online.

I regret not being able to bring my blue coupe for Hulki to sign (but atleast I did have him sign the owners manual).

I wish I could have done more to make free time for Chuck, Dale, George, Eric, Nicole, John, Robert and any of the other show planners that were so busy they didn't get to enjoy the show- seems unfair to those who worked very hard for a year to plan the perfect fiero show for all of us and they didn't get to take full advantage of all of the activities they worked so hard for.

I also regret not getting to personally thank ALL of the VOLUNTEERS that gave up their time to help out at the show. I do so now with much gradituted. It is because of your hard work that the show was such a sucess ... THANK YOU!!!

Wow, I missed seeing this post until now.

I agree about not bringing out the sunscreen. I was so burnt !! Glad I had a hat on !

I should have let Hulki drive my car !!!

When he looked it over, he was surprized at the low miles. He said "Wow, this thing isn't even broken in yet".

He said, "it looks just like the day it left the factory". (big grin !!)

Other regrets ?

Not being able to stay up partying till 3 in the morning ! (man, do these guys evey sleep ?)

Not taking more pic's of some of the best Fiero's I've ever seen.

Forgetting to detail one of the rims better, judge found one with tiny bit of dirt, knocking me from 1st place by 1/2 point. (uggghhhh) 2nd's not bad.

Wish I had one more day to spend with everyone !

Wish I'd put some sort of signs/lettering on the trailer, had quite a few Fiero's fly by me on the way home, not knowing who's doors they blew away !!!

So glad I was able to see old/new friends again. That made the looong trip worth it.

Was glad I met RWDPLZ (don't worry, I don't bite, lets shoot the breeze next time) lol

A special thanks to FieroLisa & Jennifer for allowing another "cheesecake photo" with my car. Lisa, hope you've gotten the boyfriend straightened out. You deserve better. (gee, want to move to Florida now ?) LOL

Lets do it again at the 25th, only a WHOLE WEEK! and BIGGER! Bigger better, more fantastic, lets try to get every Fiero owner in NORTH AMERICA, and maybe even we can get Jim (AusFiero) and Cliff to come! And all those other european and aussie fellers!

I seriously have to go to the 25th, if I don't, I will let fierosound put me in his car and turn the sound up as loud as it goes, with the windows shut, for three weeks...

I missed this thread the first time too. Thanks for the comments on my car! I wish I could take the credit for the paint, but I bought it that way.

I had a blast, no regrets here.

Regrets, Hmmmm........

1. I regret not getting my picture in Boomtastics ride when I had the chance.
2. I regret not meeting and hanging out with more of the PFFers.
3. I wish that I had been around when Hulki was in the competition car class so he could sign my dash IN the car. (I took the dash out for him to sign later )
4. I wish it had lasted longer.
5. I wish that I had stayed out in the parking lot later to talk with the crowd.
6. I wish I had made a bigger deal of inviting John Callies to join us.
7. I wish I had laid rubber in the Applebees parking lot when I backer her out to burn off the excess fuel.
8. I REGRET THAT MY CAR WAS NOT RACE READY! Next year will be different!

I DON'T REGRET:

1. All the friends I made!
2. Answering questions.
3. Meeting fiero members who I have read about and respected for a long time.
4. trailering my car 12 hours even though it was not running right just to be there.
5. Sitting in a REAL IMSA! (Felt exactly like mine. )
6. Being involved the GREATEST FIERO SHOW IN HISTORY.

Memories for a life time. Thank you everyone for putting on the show and all of those who attended either in person or in spirit.

No regrets at all! Well worth the effort to be there. I had a great time meeting everyone and seeing their cars, and all the socializing that went on. It gave me a change to see up close in person, all the great cars I'd only seen photos of here.

I did well at the show, scoring 93/100 in my class (Class 0) and doing very well in the Audio Competition (1st Place Install, 1st Place Sound Quality).

I only wished there'd been more interest and questions about my SuperCharger setup, since someone asks about installing a SC on the 2.8/3.4 about every other week. but that's OK. I had a great time anyway!

No, I used Federal Mogul H684CP hyperuetetic 3.4L DOHC pistons. I'm only running 8lbs of boost.

Yesterday, we took a trip to the Palace of Auburn Hills for a "Leadership Event" ...Well, anyway, we missed our exit, and GUESS WHERE WE GOT OFF? Yeah, the Marriot Centerpoint. Made me nostalgic. Man, that was a great show. And I got to sit with some awesome people at the Banquet too! Just wish I had had my GT then so I could have shown it (in it's unmolested state...But hey, I'm getting my bumper back this week!)

No regrets, just that somebody needed to steal the 1990 concept or hi-jack the trailer.

It was heartwrinching to hear that they crusned or destroyed other proto-types because of "no room."

All those memebers there and not 1 of them knew how to hot-wire a car, he,he.

------------------

Madcurl, I can tell you this much: There are more people here that know how to hotwire their car than in a city of one million.

Why? Most of us have stripped our cars apart, and know the wiring under the dash pretty good...

For some reason, I can see Hulki stealing the prototype...

I regret that it takes a show like the 20th to pull all of us together.. I thought the show was a blast!! It's a shame that we can't have something like that once a year or once every two years that pulls everyone together from all over the country..

Next to the 20th what would you say is closest to it that happens every year..

Dells or something else?? what do you think?

Like I said; Steal it....and they will come.

Then we can have a "big" gathering like the 20th every year, he, he.

P.s just dont tell GM

I believe there was talk of a "25th Anniversary Show" in 2008 to coincide with the end of production of the Fiero. I plan to be there!

Not to speak for them, but as someone who organizes shows and events, you experience a special kind of enjoyment - walking around and seeing all the people that you invited having a good time. I hope the organizers were able to take the time to notice and enjoy the other's enjoyment.

I drove 2400 miles, over 4 days, to get there. I don't regret it for one minute. What these folks put together was a Fiero owner's experience of a lifetime. Thanks guys.

I regret not stealing the '90 prototype when I had the chance.

I think it would be cool to get together more often but those of us out west would like to meet closer to our area. How about a meet closer to the middle of the US like Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming or maybe Colorado what do you think?
If there is a 25th I will go.

Funny you should mention that. We at CFOGi don't want annual events to be our only purpose, but it's a start. We're ALMOST ready to announce our 2004 event. And 2005 is shaping up to be something completely different.
