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

Let's hope so.

For all my levity about the rain, flooding is a serious thing.  The rivers are starting to go down.

BTW, I was told there are three Fieros at a junk yard near Commerce, GA.  Smiths?

Anyone know about them?

There is a huge junk yard on US 441 south of the Ingles shopping center, going toward Athens.  Never knew it was there until about two years ago.  Never been there, though.  There's also one a little further north, kind of between US 441, the railroad tracks and where Hwy 98 intersect.  You would need to turn onto 98 like you're going into town.  I've bought Fiero parts from him in the distant past.  If you turn right on Hwy 98, there's one out there a mile or two on the left.  Never been there either.

Do you have a name or location of the yard?

Nice variety, and your spot was very visible.

I guess you were in the '76-'99 class.

I think that's the huge yard on the right side of US 441 as you head south of town. 

I just looked it up on Google Maps and that is the one.  It's much bigger than what you can see from the street view with the trees having their leaves.

New forum member 19Fiero87SE made contact with Smith's and decided against purchasing from them.  They will not let you go into the yard.  Of course, you pay for the parts they pull for you, plus you pay shop rate labor on top of that for their time removing the parts.  He related that he had previous contact with them in years past.  The man in the front carried on a private conversation on the phone for an extended period and made no effort to serve the customer.
