LOL! One thing I can tell you, is Stu's Automatic, never shifts gears on it's own. He changes every gear on his automatic manually. Seriously....he treats that HUGE T-Handle in the center console as if it were a paddle

This is the newly revealed 2014 tshirt design courtesy of an artist friend of Chris Lewis. He also did our design last year, which I am still in love with. This year we went a little more Fiero-ish to tip our hats to all our fellow Fiero-heads who have been with us from the start and joined our "family" later. I think Tyler would approve. I was originally thinking yellow for the car to better resemble the Toy, but with the yellow cancer ribbon that was too much yellow. And as Carter mentioned to me, Tyler's first car was red Yes... that first Fiero I tried to talk him out of buying with all my motherly sense. I'm so glad he didn't listen.
Because this is the 5th anniversary, we are offering sweatshirts as well as tshirts with this design. For those of you here last year, you might remember who WISHED you had an extra sweatshirt crew neck sweatshirts are $25 and hoodie sweatshirts are $35. add $5 extra bucks for sizes more than XL. Both styles are white. Please note these must be prepaid prior to June 1. I am not ordering any extra and need to be paid on these ahead of time due to my small budget. tshirts are still $10 (12 for over XL) if PAID by June 1. If your just preordering without paying, the shirts are $12 ($15 if over XL) to pick up at the show. contact me privately if you want to arrange shipping.
144 days and counting. It's still NOT too late to go on that diet. You know, the one that gets you from a Tyler Shipman T-Shirt size XXXL to XL. No, really..... You'll look marvolous!

I have checked the weather reports, charted the prevailing winds and taken the advanced course in defensive camping strategies, Northern Minnesota, summer edition and I am very confident I can deflect any responsibility and avoid retribution for perceived insults, deserved or not. Barring that, I’ll tell the camp’s mother on you. So there! Naa Naa Nanaa.
O.k. About 4 months to go last year at this time I was in a serious panic mode for the four months prior to the show. It was very stressful after getting my car back. With having to repeatedly pulling my motor in and out and rebuilding and changing trans and a bunch of other issues to do everything in my power to get it to the show. I showed up at about midnight with grease still under my finger nails and never packed correctly forgetting warm clothes and not even a tent. ( thanks to the Shipmans for putting me up and letting me use a much needed sweat shirt ) It was awesome that my car made it even though I wasn't able to drive it. This year I hope is a lot less stressful before driving up. Hoping to get in the caravan that I had missed out on last year. Such a great time hanging out with my Fiero friends and the Shipmans. I can't wait!!

I LOVE Thursday night. It is just a nice laid back fun night. Its about the only night I get to let my hair down without having to worry about getting up in the morning and figuring out how to make everything happen the following day!
102 days and counting. Decisions, decisions.....Thursday caravan or Friday's?
I will be on the side of the road waiting for both caravans ..... Will be in Frazee tuesday or wednesday ... hope to get a couple of others waiting near to join the group as a welcoming wagon
Sauk Rapids, MN at noon as I remember and head out for Frazee at 1pm either day; lead by one of the Minnesota Fieros Forever gang. For me I'll join the Thursday group. Danyel, since you'll be there early and well rested by the time I make my entrance, please reserve a comfortable chair in the shade for me. Oh! and a refreshing drink, I would prefer something local. Also, will there be a secure place for my keys? I've heard such stories.

Has anyone talked to the weather guy? Has an appropriate bribe been offered? I do think we should hold him (her) personally responsible for Mother Natures actions for that week.
ok where the heck did that weather forecast come from? well i guess if you get cold you can snuggle with a chicken.
on a more serious note, parking was an issue last year if you all remember. along with the normal main street area we can have the other side of main in front of the hostel hornet toward the bowling alley. i think that will help us get in maybe 7 or 8 cars on each side plus 2 or 3 in middle or maybe more..i'm guessing.
got a nice little treat box coming from Fiero Store. haven't started the quilt yet - need someone to kick my butt in gear. no I'm not asking for volunteers. I am nixing door prizes at the show. i think I already said that. Too much hassle and too much $$. But I think we can do a 50/50 raffle on the downlow that day.
Jeff.... WHERE did you get that, and what is it? It is supposed to be colder in Florida this SUMMER?!?!?! LOL
It was from weather.com and yes it is predicting that Florida (and most of the US) will be cooler then normal. Its not saying Florida will be cool, just that average temperatures will be below normal this summer. You may get to save money on your A/C
Love it. Its great because its true! Camp Shipman is always the highlight of my summer.
I totally agree with you Jeff. Although your weather map is making me a little concerned. I am hoping that Fred won't be able to make this year so I can stay in the Double Tree again.

Not that I'm looking forward to this weekend but I've had my room booked in Detroit Lakes since November '13. Has there been any talk of an evening car cruise or a mob dinner at one of the local restaurants? What's the name of the place Tyler's build team had dinner when they all arrived in Frazee? Maybe we could caravan from Shipmans to there for dinner and cruise afterward ending back at Shipmans. Just thinking out loud.

If I remember correctly it was at Billýs Bar. But the idea of going back is excellent.. a cruise there and back would be really sharp and take pic on now we could compare with the then.... I'm in as long as you or JohnWPD dont lose your keys.. Danyel

Last year there was a very nice cruise after the Show and then we all ate at the downtown Frazee pizza place. It worked out very well.

Hi, yes we did a cruise last year and assuming we are doing the same. not sure where we are eating but thinking about vergas yes - where the build team was but i have to check on that. i think we are prob using the same scenic route - so i hope that is OK. it worked out pretty well last time. It will really depend on if Billy's is willing to accommodate our group for supper saturday night. we will not be cooking/serving food at our house saturday night, so if you are camping there and dont join us for cruise/supper you are more than welcome to make yourself at home and use our grills or bring your own. there is electric in the garage if you want to plug in a hot plate or any other cooking thing too.

The Dells Run was great, the Power Tour will be an experience , Fred's show will be a blast, Jim's show will be crazy, But my summer is not complete without a trip to Frazee.
The time for ordering t-shirts is quickly coming to an end. If you haven't already and want a shirt, please contact me ASAP. Remember we can do sweatshirts this year too - but they must be preordered.
i love the cruise picture.... so embarrassing that i was the ONLY one to actually get LOST last year. I think that means I need to get out more LOL
Yes... that first Fiero I tried to talk him out of buying with all my motherly sense. I'm so glad he didn't listen.
