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.
