Us and Them (non-Fiero people)
« on: March 24, 2015, 07:41:32 pm »

Howdy Folks,
The other day I decided to adjust the headlights on my wife's Mustang (I've offered to get her a Fiero, specifically Radar's convertible, but no luck... yet  :)) 

My first step was to consult directions from the internet, which is usually more complete and a more comfortable environment to search than not finding directions in the owner's manual.  So I google'd and went here: http://themustangsource.com/forums/f726/how-adjust-headlights-non-hid-488885/

Basically, "they" said let the dealer do it or read your owners manual.  If the same question was asked on a Fiero Forum, an owner would provide step-by-step directions with 8X10 glossy prints and warnings about any gotchas. 

I just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who makes our Fiero Forums such a great place.

Truth!

And I think a lot of it has to do with the age of the car and the experience of its owners.
I am also a member of a couple of G6 forums.
Some of the most complex topics I've seen over there are almost mundane, compared to what we regularly see on our forums.
Which helps not a bit, when I try to do something with my G6 and nobody knows how.
The one standout is a guy who has an Alero (not even a G6) who has swapped an F40 in, in place of the automatic.

Regarding the Mustang forum... I have heard that the Corvette forums are even worse.
NONE of those guys will get their hands dirty. They'd rather pay someone else.
