Did you get or give any contact info so we might help him?
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

No, I wasn't thinking too clearly with all that traffic going by (he was in the gore between the ramp and the highway). But I wrote "gafiero.org" on a piece of paper he had, and our email link is there.

Nice picture. 

Amazing how good a Fiero looks, even with it's deck raised.

I did an anywho.com search for chin , chen, and ching for lawrenceville with no returns.  Also on fb for last name and got hundreds of returns, but nothing indicating lawrenceville, or profile picture that looked like him.  Maybe he'll contact us since he's active in other car clubs.

This site shows a "British Car Fayre" on September 10. I guess that is what he was talking about.

Saw a Fiero, last night.  Not on the road, but on TV.  I was watching a Fox 5 segment on the 10PM news about the Gaddy Family Christmas Lights Display in Fayette County.  Toward the end, a number of vehicles were shown driving along, viewing the lights.  A dark colored, looked like black, Fiero with a white racing stripe was at the rear.  Looked a little like a Formula, but could have been a base coupe.  The picture lapsed into the next scene, but it definitely had the nose and square headlights of a Formula.  The headlights were raised but turned off with the parking lights still on.  Had fog lights.  Custom wheels, too.  Not the stock lace.

Silver GT on Hereford Farm Rd near the intersection of Gibbs & Owens. 

So surprised to see it I couldn't tell if it was fastback or notchie.

Not only is the subject from Georgia, he pulled a Christmas Vacation with his Fiero (near the end of the article).

That's an interesting story.  Quite a man.

There was a similar Fiero incident one year when a couple from New York was returning from either Daytona or RFTH and hydroplaned beside an 18-wheeler.  They ended up under the trailer with the passenger side against the trailer wheels, being dragged up the interstate.  The wife was splattered with some glass, but I believe they were otherwise unscathed.  The driver didn't know it until another motors flagged him down and he stopped.  Strong little cars.  Gave Curtis some extra time here.

Yesterday morning about 9:10 am, I saw a very nice bright red 84 or 85 notchback with bumper pads painted body color, like Ron768's.  It was on I-85 Southbound, just south of the Jimmy Carter Blvd. exit.

While on vacation I saw, not 1, not 2, but 3 Fieros (Fieri?).

One was a cheat, since I saw the '84 Indy in Elberton last year when we all met in Toccoa.  It's still in the same place.  However, it has been joined by a silver Fiero with a wrecked front.  The friendly junk yard dogs prevented me from getting close enough to be more precise and my photos stunk.

The third Fiero was a beautiful gold fastback GT with a black racing stripe on 441 in GSMNP in North Carolina.  Think it was Wednesday.  Anyone know the owner?

Not exactly today, but here's one:


There, one from me.  I doubt you'll see this one, so far away, but the owner has been off-roading this poor Fiero.  I spoke with him, and this Fiero is being abused.  No cap on the coolant reservoir, low on oil, which hasn't been changed, and all the window seals leak.
