So here is the music to sing it I modified JohnWPB words so it fits with the music
There came a time When we read a certain post When the forum must come together as one There's a young man posting And it's time to lend some hands To help his dream come true
We Can't go on Pretending day by day That we are in this Fiero phase all by ourselves We are all a part of Pennocks great big family and the truth, Dontcha know PARTS are all we need!
CHORUS: We are from Pennocks We love Fiero's Even though sometimes they start on fire we keep on driving There's a choice we're making We're saving these cool cars It's true we'll make a dream come true Just you and me
Send him your parts So he'll know that someone cares And his life will be stronger and free As the forum has shown us, by rebuilding all our cars that we all must lend a helping hand
CHORUS: We are from Pennocks We love Fiero's Even though sometimes they start on fire we keep on driving There's a choice we're making We're saving these cool cars It's true we'll make a dream come true Just you and me
When you're down and out with us you're not alone you have to just beleive There's no room for us to fail Now you just have to realize That this dream can be complete when we all, come together as one
CHORUS: We are from Pennocks We love Fiero's Even though sometimes they start on fire we keep on driving There's a choice we're making We're saving these cool cars It's true we'll make a dream come true Just you and me
She had been running nearly non-stop for an hour... Trying to get the ball away from her was a challenge, but once you had it, you threw it. She finally took the ball with her to the creek and wouldn't move for anything.

My trip finally had to come to an end; I got home last night. I'm still reviewing the pictures and chose a few to post this evening just to cover leaving Pittsburgh and arriving at Camp Shipman, Friday evening.
Getting on the PA Turnpike
Typical Attitude for a Fiero driver.....or is it just old Fiero drivers
One state down
The required cup holder and the necessary shield for all to see
First rest stop and chase car. They had air conditioned comfort.
Yep, the chase car had Tyler's sign as well.
Another state down!
I apparently skipped the state of Illinois because here we are in Madison WI
A quick detailing and we're off to Minnesota
Who's gaining on us ?
Stopped for a scenic view
You were supposed to put it all in the hole in the side of the car!
Gathering at JPs on Friday afternoon
Turning onto Route 10
On the road
Someone dared change the light to RED !
Green finally
We filled this convenience store's parking lot with Fieros
We all spent the week end helping Purple Rain look really good. Seriously, what a beautiful car!
This was the only time I was ahead of Purple Rain in a race. (He didn't know I was racing but I certainly knew.)
Stopped in downtown on the way to Shipman's
Arrival at Camp Shipman. Dusty but happy to be there!
More pictures later. Hope you enjoyed them so far.

i have posted pictures of the last two shows on youtube keyword tyler frazee cougar1972xr7 is my channel so you mite want to see your car its there enjoy
Finally got home from taking our Frazee (and extended side trips to the Black Hills and Yellowstone) journey to Camp Shipman a couple days ago and have had a chance to just chill for a bit.
I'm glad that I was able to meet some of the Fiero guys in person and see some cool cars. Hanging out was fun, albeit I was passed out most of the time the first couple days to catch up on sleep from driving. I had a bit extra this year that I could put into the scholarship fund so I'm happy that I was able to contribute in some way to a good cause.
Kris is having to do some file shuffling between hard drives and I haven't gotten sufficiently fast internet at the new rental house yet but pictures will come in the very near future

Viking the feeling is mutual. We had a great time meeting you and sharing stories. I'm honored to have had the opportunity to meet the real person behind the painted finger nail story. For those of you not familiar, check out the build pictures of Viking getting his finger nails painted while trying to catch up on some much needed sleep. I don't think I'll be in Frazee next year. It's a heck of a drive from Pittsburgh. I do however have the 5th anniversary penciled in.
Pictures of Camp Shipman:
And a few snapped driving into and out of town during the weekend
Thanks to our hosts, all the Fiero heads and the city of Frazee, MN

A quick post: This is a picture of a complete set of DIY-STU's dew wipes or as they have officially become known as StuWipes, on their way from Texas to Pittsburgh via Frazee, MN. It should take me the rest of the summer to figure out how to open the box and then most of the winter to install them.
Nice looking, quality product. I'll try not to mess them up.

Someone, who shall remain name less, left the Toy's ignition key on and in the ignition after making some very nice modifications to the lighting system. When that happened is up for debate but when someone, given the honor to drive the Toy in the parade, tried to start it.....it was dead. No one was accepting responsibility but everyone wanted to help. It needed a jump: Here's Danyel checking the battery and I would also guess "looking for the keys"
The DYI-STU and the guys trying to figure out what to hook up to
Screw it! It'll clamp on here!
Stu: Just stay out of my way. WPB: I can't find the keys. Danyel: I'm just here to help, honest. Did you check your pockets?
No really Nellie, we looked all over. Even up there! And Danyel is in full agreement
WPB: I even looked under that thing, you know?
WPB: &*^%$ Danyel I looked everywhere! I can't find those keys!
WPB: I'm going to check the car again. I can't believe this. I lost the keys to the Toy. Danyel: You do that. Be sure you check the ignition because that's right where I returned them. (In Danyel's pocket the entire time)
Just as calm as can be. I'll just take care of these jumper cables

The shield people put in their rear windows came from GTGeff or you can get it from here: http://www.chalnet.net/2011.pdf and take it to Staples/OfficeMax and have them print it out. I did that and had 5 printed with 2 of them laminated for just over $5.

Vernon8360: Now that there is funny! (Sorry been hanging around Stu too much ) I LOVE it, very well done sir!

I figured the truth would FINALLY come out sometime! I can't believe you had them in your pocket THE WHOLE TIME, and sometime, after everyone had been looking everywhere for the keys, you just simply snuck over and put them back in the ignition! honte sur vous!!! LOL Now all that is left for Nellie to read the posts, so I no longer am the one that "Lost the keys to the Toy" Da/\/\ n Canadians! :P

Well, I went looking for evidence! And guess what, Danyel may just make it in the Fiero Store 2012 calendar by accident, if they choose one of the "Tyler's Toy" photo's I submitted! With a little zooming, and highly advanced photo enhancing (the same algorithms the FBI uses I am sure), here is what I discovered!

So that's where my jumper cables went!!!
Did you put them in your pocket too?
So when do you sneak down to put them back in my car.

Weeellllll, this thread certainly has taken a nasty turn. We'll be right back with the next chapter, right after a word from our sponsors: ACDelco batteries and StuCables; never jump your Fiero with less.
We all know what our friends to the north have done for the cause. The country, the state of Minnesota and the town of Frazee extended the warmest of greetings to the Ambassador from K-Beck, Canada, sent to represent that great nation at Frazee Turkey Days in general and the Tyler Shipman Memorial Car Show specifically.
The local hotels spared no expense to insure only the best of our American hospitality was being offered if it were needed
Cassy Shipman generously provided her personal vehicle for the exclusive use of the Ambassador so he could make his rounds in style. Here he is staking claim to his newly acquired Canadian territory.
Making sure it has the expected options, accoutrements and high speed internet access.
A side shot showing the Canadian flags, the Fleur de Lees and a Canadian red balloon.
Even the Minnesota license plate had to be covered. Just no pleasing these diplomats.
Why is the Ambassador's the only one with the hood up? Does this guy want all the attention?
Oh.....there seems to be a problem with the car. Where is the Ambassador?
This looks major. Was he recalled to K-Beck? No where to be seen!
Man, what a mess! Lots of help around to figure out what happened and how too fix it but the driver responsible is no where around.....
Alright. Fixed as good as new......
And look who's here, water bottle in hand, to accept full responsibility and praise for the repairs .....Our man from K-Beck.
Glad you made the trip, other wise I wouldn't have any excuse to make up these pitiful stories.
