Aaawwww. *sniff, sniff* He said I was "one of the guys". I could hug you for that! Fair enough, dude.

Funny you should say that----my nickname with my family is actually Barbie...LOL talk about coincidences.

Love the color and the design on the car, Helmet. The racing stripes are cool, especially with the contrasting color below. You photoshop guys are really great. BTW, what mods did you have in mind?

No, of couese not. you have the wrong picture.
I'm talking about this one:

Skinniest Doberman I've ever seen.

phewwwww....hahahaha, i thought this thread was gonna go sour for a sec

I haven't posted here yet so I too will say welcome to the most informative Fiero form with the most members on the net.
From the sounds fo it you would like to start out with something like this one here.

This is a totally restored 88 all factory with the exception of the side scoops (edited to add) and tinted sail windows.
Even with a magnifing glass it is hard to tell there is over 182k on this car. The paint on the chassis hasn't been touched and still looks like it is brand new. It was a total panel off restoration and there is no rust anywhere now. It was a total loss when I bought it, hit heavy in the rear.

Wrap a chain on the check book and toss the plastic!

Okay--another question. I've been checking out the Mall and posts in general and I keep seeing different styles/models of Fieros listed---Coupe, SC, Formula, etc. What are the different types available & the differences between them? Any pics? Based on what I want to do, which one should I consider getting? Could someone point me in the right direction?

The original, '84, was a coupe. This is known as a notchback and has a more blunt appearing nose. You could get coupes in all model years and were the "base" models.

Next camet the "SE" and early "GT" models. These had the "aero" nose and rockers but were still notchbacks. The '88 Formula's also looked similar to this as well. Aero nose and rockers, but a notchback in the rear window area.

The later GT's were also aero nose and rockers but also had a fastback rear clip.

Which one you get is completely up to you. Personally, I like the Aero notchie versions myself because they're easier to work on and I just think they look the best, but that's completely personal taste and shouldn't reflect on what you like.

Most people agree that the '88 models are "best" and they have a lot of improvements over the earlier years the most significant being a much upgraded suspension, but if you want an '88 just realize that some of the parts are harder to find than for the earlier cars because there were a LOT fewer of them made than the earlier years that share almost all the major, replaceable components.

If you like the fastback look you want 86 thru 88 GT's
Check your PM's girl! (I think maybe as Kissmyss would say)

The 84 Indy has it's own appeal for obvious reasons.
The rest of the 84s are often considered the red headed stepchild of the Fiero production line.
All Fieros can be modded to your own personal tastes, but 84s were different from all the rest due to the fact that the v6 was not an option that 1st year. Swapping in a different engine other than a 2.5 presents a unique set of problems, not the least of which is the missing wiring for the V-6.

PM back at 'cha!

we just never finish!!

lol!

now to go back outside and tweak my 3.4 DOHC!

Keep men happy

Design the car; ride in the car; drive the car; get work done on the car; maintain the car; take care of the car; clean the car; accessorize with the car; showcase the car; compete in the car; preserve the car; work on the car (at least change the oil)...uummm, in a word:

Everything!

And we look good doing it, too. hehehe

all that, AND you get dirty? wow. now THAT gentlemen, is a WOMAN

and may i say, welcome to this great nation... err forum

BTW, if we can't do it...maybe with a wink, a smile and a "pretty please" (accompanied by the obligatory batting of the eyes and helpless look) we can get a guy to do it for us! LOL j/k

Oh, I almost forgot the main reason for the Kim Possible pic in my last post----
We've got a Hello Kitty-Ferrari,

One thing girls do better is--if you're Kim Possible--save the world on a daily basis. lol hehehe

I like Kim Possible--she's pretty cool. Yes, grown women can watch cartoons too. lol (for the kid in all of us.... )

Heh heh heh...I LIKE this lady.

You just haven't met the right girls. Besides, stop wasting your time with girls and find some WOMEN.

What do girls do better than boys? Easy - they can get you to do whatever they want by batting their eyes at you. This thread is pretty good proof of that so far.

How true this is. But you forgot the ever so important gentle touch on the shoulder. Yes i have been dooped several times with that tactic........damn evil women .

Couldn't have said it better.

A Power Puff Girls Fiero could be cool. Sugar, Spice, and Chemical X!
