Introduction and my misc items
« on: September 25, 2016, 04:10:16 pm »
My second post here.  I've dealt with several of you, over the years, but didn't know about this forum.  I've had positive interactions with those people, so I'm giving this forum a try.

Thanks.

I debated if I should start the thread with ”My name's GTRS, and I have an addiction...”, but I figured that, given the forum, that goes without saying.

I'm a car guy.  I've owned lots of cars, and used to drive everything.  Times change, and I live a quieter life, now.

The Fiero wasn't my first choice, but of all the cars I'd driven, I most enjoyed an '85 Camaro 5-speed with the 2.8HO.  Not a fast car, by any means, but fun.  It was stolen, unfortunately.  Some years ago, I wanted to buy a similar car, but they wanted $32K.  Not worth it, to me.  I found other cars, but they weren't as nice as mine, and didn't have the HO engine.  Insurance was high on the Camaro.  I'd always wanted a GT40/Fort GT.  They're fun to drive, but they were well beyond my price range--even to maintain.  So, I got a Fiero.  I didn't even get my first or second color choice.  Through several Fieros, I've never managed to get my first or second color choice.

My Fiero is unique.  I've never seen another like it.  While not completely stock, I'm trying to recreate a previous Fiero.

Welcome to the forum.

Can you post a picture of your Fiero?

Where-abouts do you live?

Welcome to  our forum. Please come to our next meeting, and if you have a Fiero, please bring it.

Don't flame me.  I was asked to join here.  I'm in the STL area.

I'll try these pics, just taken.  Thanks to Paul McKibben for his help.

Um, I don't have a resize on here.  They were too big.

Since the pics didn't take, it's a white '88 GT auto.  My feet are too big for a manual.  I have just about every option, except leather seats and front compartment light.  My emblems are all GTR-S.  I've never seen another GTR-S gold edition Fiero.

If your pictures are on your phone, you can text them to 678-four-six-four-3780 and I will post them. Or you can email them to me(at)patswayne.com.

Sent.  Thanks.

I think I violated one of the precepts, already.  AFTER signing up, I found a notice on here somewhere that I should use ”Fiero” in my logon.  Oops!

Edit: fixed.

Good looking car, and nice headlights.

Thanks.  The license plate doesn't really emit light.  That's from the flash.

Not stock--or perfect--but unique.

That's for people we don't know.  Right now there are 70 people sitting out there with monikers that disprove any Fiero association.  They won't get approved.

Wait... What? It appears that I didn't get that memo.  :o

All kidding aside, I've never noticed that. Probably a good thing.

That's a relatively new thing.  We were having so many applications that it was difficult to sort through every factor that shows up in their registration.  We actually had thousands of registrations.  Hundreds a week.  Lots of adult material sites, and some who used the same prefix on username and just changed a couple of numbers attached to that name.  There was one particular one, carpenty1234, that ran through that name without thousands of progressive numerical variations.  We have the ability to look at the country of origin, and sometimes the actual owner of the email or ISP.  I think Pat added some filters into the process, but still there are those who get through. 

I recognize some of the applicants from other forums, and some, I've invited to join, like tshark.  I have taken to sending a questionable applicant an email, asking them to reply to a few questions that are Fiero specific, a little more in depth than the initial application.

How do you deal with people who are new to Fieros, who don't know how to spell Hulki's last name, etc?  I don't remember if it was that question or what, but there was one question when joining that I wasn't sure of.  I didn't look it up, but typed in something, and things continued.  I'm not sure it was verbatum correct.  If you ask when the first Fiero was built, you could get a wide range of answers--many correct--that may vary by year, day, and time.
