Not today, but thursday... There's a maroon GT on gold crosslace wheels sitting on a dealer lot in Lebanon, just off of hwy 231 south of I40. I'm tempted to ask about it.
Also, I've seen several over the course of my driving for work. I always forget to post here.
Friday, August 31 about 3:50 PM, on Highway 8 in Carl, Georgia I saw a white stretch 4-door Zimmer. It was turning toward where I live but I've never seen the vehicle before. Paint was rough and dirty.
Today around 6:30 PM, I Saw a burgundy 87 or 88 notch back passing through Inverness, Alabama east bound on Highway 280. Looked better than my daily driver. That shape still catches my eye, even in heavy traffic.
Saw this beautiful Formula here in North Ridgeville at a local car show today. Mattwa and I thought we knew all the Fiero's in the area but we had never seen this one. Turns out that the owner lives in Tampa and was in the area visiting family. Car was stored for a dozen years and has a newer paint job, 85 seats because owner likes the speakers in the seats and of course the scoops.

I saw a silver '86 SE with a 4.9 at the hardware store today. I talked to the owner for a little while and told him about the forum. Maybe he will check in.
I spotted what I think is the same red one I've seen around the NW Tucson area on Oracle Rd., he turned just south of Orange Grove Rd., I beeped as I drove by https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/460370_4730966795357_1752740288_o.jpg

Saw a white fiero sitting at the white elephant. I was at my work across the street and with a client so I could really stare for too long. All I saw was that it was white.
Then driving on pines I think I saw the same car drive past me.
well this is a first for me.....I was driving to meet my wife for lunch in Alcoa Tennessee yesterday. We were heading for buffalo wild wings and I spotted a blue sportscar in my rearview a couple cars back. Lo and behold it was a pretty sweet 87or87 blue/grey fastback GT!! I tried to get the drivers attention but he did not see me pull into the restaurant and kept on going down the road behind Olive Garden and Cheddar's restaurant. If my wife did not have such a short lunch time already I woulda tracked him down. Would love to know if it is someone on here and if they were local residents. I just live maybe ten minutes fron thwre. Peace
Saw a black GT fastback body with green roof and green lined wheels making a U-turn on Golf Links near Harrison. This was Saturday, 29 Sept. around 3pm.

My monthly update of Fieros... These 4 or 5. They're all in the Fort Worth area, 1 for sale in the driveway is on Haltom Rd if anyones interested in it (red notchy), the red notchy behind the gate is gone now at that dealership or w/e it was, then there's the 2 white fieros as well... And, I dono.
Here's my monthly report!
Private message me if one of these belong to you and you want me to delete the pics...
Do I take a picture of every Fiero I see? I try to!
My friends are always like "dude I saw a Fiero today sitting in a parking lot". And I'm like NO you didn't, show me. We arrive, and it's a early 80s white civic sedan... Sigh. Once a friend got close, and showed me an old mr2, the real small ones. I was like close my friend, but no cigar.
I never believe them when they tell me they see one. They're like "Fieros aren't that rare dude..." Right, clearly 80s honda civics aren't either!

Spotted this Indy in Lexington Park/California Maryland today at the Wawa on Rt. 4/Rt. 235 interchange. Looks like a daily driver in rougher shape of someone in the service. I didn't want to creep too much so I ninja'd a picture and left. If I spy him again while I'm driving my own '87 I'll say something.
I don't remember the plate state, I think it might have been California or Oklahoma (censored for owner's privacy). They have red-ish text for the state name. Wasn't Maryland for sure.
Walk up and start a conversation about the Fiero. I've even had Fieros pull to the side of the road when I pulled up behind and flashed lights at them even though I wasn't in a Fiero. I'm always open to anyone who comes up to talk about "Man, you don't see many of those things any more".
Forgot to mention that my son-in-law said there were 3 Fieros at Road Atlanta on Friday. He said one was from Virginia and he didn't remember where the others were from.
I saw a red T-top notchie in Johnson City, TN yesterday. It pulled into the stripmall parking lot with a Trans AM. It was where CVS and McAlister's are across from the mall. I would have tried to talk to you but I was with my brother who was passing through town.
I saw a gold GT with brown trim this morning on my way to work. I tried to get the driver's attention, but I don't think the young lady wanted to respond to an old guy on a motorcycle.
Saw a red Fiero fastback today... He turned right at an intersection I was at, I shouted "HEY!!!" He stopped and asked "What?" I said "... I like your Fiero!" He replied "Thanks........."
Guys, this was an amazing looking Red Fastback... Looked SO nice.
I didn't know what to say when I shouted at him. I couldn't talk, I was speechless. I just blurted out the first thing that came to mind "I like your Fiero"..... Man I'm socially awkward when it comes to Fieros. I see them and my brain shuts down, and the back up generators only power the Fiero section of my brain. I hope I see it again sometime.
This was in White Settlement, Texas (think) today.
I thought that I had only Fiero in South West Georgia. There is a silver 87 GT under a cover in a local body shop in Albany, Ga. with 51000 miles on it. It is covered inside and out with overspray dust but owner says it was painted before storing it about 10 years ago. New tires several years ago but the are now flat and dry rotting. He will not sell it but perhaps seeing mine will move him to getting it back on the road. Shame it is a very good car that has been left to rot away. This business may close due to owners health and maybe I can get a shot at it then. I would need tires, fluids changed, probably fuel pump and filter and a battery to get it going.

Keep an eye on it and by chance you do manage to get it, if we up here can help you with anything, you know where to get hold of us.
Got some of the little formula I see sometimes in traffic going to and from work. The one I talked about earlier in this thread. The guy works up in midtown somewhere. I saw him drive past my building once when I was waiting for my ride around lunch time. Have never seen the car parked to be able to see if I can talk to the owner. Shots are not to great as we were in rush hour traffic.
------------------ 1984 Indy Fiero SE Pace Car Replica #770 "SE" Stormtrooper Edition Rescued, resuscitated and reversibly modified! (I'm so not done yet!)

Nice. Usually I don't like yellow cars, not even yellow Fieros... But for some reason I like that one. It's like an off yellow, heading towards a faint orange color.
Other than mine everyday, just spotted a notchie less than two miles from my house. Stuffed in the corner of someone's yard with some overgrowth. I guess the storm/winds blew the leaves away. Been here for 21 years and had never seen it, but it's been there for a while. Will have to check it out. Just wonder what my wife will say???
My spouse and step-daughter spied this fiero on 19-41 in the Lovejoy area. Car had a fayette tag. Apparently they have seen the car before and said its extremely nice.

Aww come on nobody saw a red 86 SE with no deckilid and a beautiful 3800sc swap I just finished? Hoping I might get a post about mine, for it's grand unveiling on the 1st... Oh well, not a lot of Fiero people by me I suppose.
On I-75-85 southbound, in front of Grady hospital. Saw a bronze in color aero-notchie. (85 GT or 86-87 SE.) Very nicely done. Was 4-5 lanes over from me, and flying low, so kind of difficult to see. ~3:50 PM.
I was in Michigan last weekend. Saw two Formulas on 1-75, red and a maroon one. I also got behind a red 86/87 GT in Monroe on Telegraph. I got home Sunday night and saw a red 86 GT in my driveway!
On the way to Wilmington, N.C. last week I saw a blue GT headed west on I-40. Look good but dirty. Then first of week I spotted a red GT pre-88. in downtown Hickory, N.C. headed north on Hwy 127. Very sharp looked well-maintained and very clean. 2 weeks ago at a car show in Denver, N.C. saw an 86 GT from Lincolnton, N.C. All original w/55K on the clock. Owner said I had ruined mine with the 4.9 and it was not a Fiero anymore. Ha!.
Saw a Black 86 GT yesterday at Canadian Tire Store ( Whitby South ) I talked to the owner, a retired GM Engineer. He has had it since 1988. He lives only a few blocks from me. I've never seen it before. He was at CTC to buy fuel stabilzer, getting ready to put it up for the winter.
