Paul's has the 7730 with digital EGR.  If it was like mine, appearing factory with the stock EGR, they will allow it as stock. 

I'm retired, too, but my Fiero is my go-to vehicle any time I go somewhere that doesn't require the truck.  It might not be driven in a week but it's still my daily driver.

I'm planning on bribing the judges with Georgia peaches to put me in the least competitive class.  Pecans if I get a trophy.

My exterior looks stock.  Interior-wise the radio is obviously different.

I've been to GA maybe 9 times, and never gotten a peach.  Based on your last Appreciation article, do the peaches there taste differently?

Yes.

Almost every year we do part of the Peach Tree 23 https://www.peachtree23.com/
(BTW, VERY Fiero unfriendly)

They're harvesting peaches just before they sell them.   ;D   Wow.

I don't know if my peaches will be ripe yet, but maybe I could bring some if they are. (Picture from a few years ago.)

I called peaches.  You can use Coca Cola.

There's a decent Super 8 in Daleville/Troutville just north of Roanoke.  Even has a good Mexican place across the parking lot.  Not much of a breakfast, but I haven't stayed at any hotel for the past year with much of a breakfast.

It's been a little different with the virus, but if you're ever in Gatlinburg, stay at the Edgewater Inn.  Enough variety that if you leave hungry, it's your own fault.

How could a 40 mile yard sale be Fiero-friendly?
If you're going to buy a bunch of stuff, you probably need a truck, SUV, or even a trailer to get your treasures home.

Or am I missing something?

It's about saving money.  Smaller vehicle, less stuff...

I get it. I don't see how a Fiero would be practical for such an event. Which was the point of my post.
Unless the residents are just Fiero-hostile. And that would be a whole 'nother thing, entirely.

OK.  So back to the GM Nations at Carlisle.  This is from the GM Nationals website.  It may be a good idea to take along a small bottle of hand sanitizer that you can carry in your pocket, plus a few face masks. 

Health Safety Measures
• Touchless admission is available by using a season pass or admission tickets
purchased online. Tickets may still be purchased at the gates.
• Upon exit, tickets (instead of hands) will be stamped for re-entry permission.
• Event guides available at self-serve stands.
• Physical distancing of 6 feet is encouraged.
• An abundance of handwashing and hand sanitizer stations are available at high
traffic areas and throughout the venue.
• Customer service areas have plexiglass shields.
• High traffic areas have one-way directional signage.
• Picnic tables and other sitting areas are spread out for physical distancing.
• Fast-acting sanitizing products are being used on all surfaces (counters, picnic
tables, door handles, restrooms, etc.).
• Current CDC guidelines are posted throughout the venue.
• PPE is provided to event staff including sanitizer wipes for golf carts.
• Activities that draw crowds, such as autograph-signing, include signage and
staff to adhere to physical distancing guidelines.
• All condiments and cutlery will be provided to customers instead of self-serve.
• Screen covers are included on credit card machines.
• Periodic public address announcements are made as reminders to wash hands,
keep physical distance and follow CDC guideline signs

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

143 Fieros registered as of today! (According to Jennifer)
I hope somebody brings a drone to get aerial shots of this.

Anyone else planning on going to Tom & Sara Derr's home for "Subs & Swaps" on Thursday June 24th in Mechanicsburg?
