I haven't seen him post for a while.

Today is the first time I've been on in months. ;)
Just busy with "part-time" DJ business, plus full-time "real job" corporate day job, plus family, plus a non-running '88 Fiero GT. :'(
It would not keep a charge, and kept stranding me when I would go for a drive. Parked it in the driveway last fall, after it died and had to be jumped started twice on a >20 mile trip. Actually, the second guy who jump started it followed me home, and helped me push the car up the last 20' of the driveway after it died a THIRD time pulling into the driveway. :o
There it sat the rest of the fall, all winter, and until about two weeks ago.
I finally broke down then, and had the car towed to a local rod-restoration shop. I know the mechanic, and knew he'd treat me right. I also knew he knows more than "plug Diagnostic Computer into Diagnostic Port A, reset computer, install misc parts, bill client..." ;)
A few days later, he had it running... loose grounding connector and a bad wire in the wiring harness leading to the alternator. He relocated the grounding connector and ran new wires, replaced the bad wire in the Alternator pigtail, and did a few other things.
I drove it home with no problems. It has sat since then, due to schedule. Hope to drive it soon.

Glad you're still around. Yeah, get your Fiero out. Maybe on the 19th.
