I really got the urge to buy a Fiero in
2008 as a diversion by taking my mind off of law school.
My first experience with a Fiero was when I was in Junior
High. An older buddy from down the street had a silver 2M6
that we cruised in and I really liked it. His father also
had a silver 2M4. I’ve wanted a Fiero of my own ever
since and finally got mine in March 2009.
I have driven about 4,000 miles so far
with my Fiero. The most memorable time I’ve had
driving it was last summer when I was cruising one night in
DeKalb County. I had the windows down, sunroof open, and
watched a spectacular display of lightning as a storm was
approaching. Of course after a few minutes I turned
around and quickly drove home to beat the storm!
Since getting the Fiero, I have had to
have the gas-tank re-sealed. I’ve also put on ‘88 wheels,
Koni shocks/struts, Eibach springs, poly bushings, new
tie-rod ends and new speakers. The previous owner had added
a Rodney Dickman short-shift kit, a new black Fiero GT
steering wheel and had a moderate performance engine
rebuild.
My daily driver is a 2001 Dodge Neon R/T
and my garage queen is a 1997 Chevrolet Camaro 30th
Anniversary SS LT4. I would love to have a white/hugger
orange ’88 Fiero GT V8 to park next to my Camaro. My
favorite muscle car has always been a 1969 Hurst/Olds.
Aside from my love of cars I’m also studying to be a
lawyer. Right now I'm in my final semester of law
school at Northern Illinois University. I'm also an avid
athlete and stair climber. I've won stair-races up the
steps of the Willis (Sears) Tower, Aon Center, and
Oakbrook Terrace Tower in Illinois.
