You bring the 76, I'll bring the 89.

Welcome!

As you can see, lots of stuff in southern Ohio, but not too much going on up north her, at least not now.

How's that car running since you got it back from IPS?

It's a leisurely cruise along the Ohio River on the Ohio side, crossing via a ferry into Augusta, KY, then cruising back on the Kentucky side. Sounds like a good time to just enjoy the scenery & cars. I think they said the route is about 90 miles. The ferry ride costs $5/car. I know they have a planned stop at some ice cream place and I think there was one other planned stop as well. Other than that, it was up to you if/where you wanted to stop - maybe some nice photo ops along the way.

aww shnappsss... I just boughted a new car.

I don't know who I can hang out with... its a GM... Pontiac... FIERO. can I still hang out with the camaro guys with my fiero??? Please don't make me hang out with those miatas... isnt the GM bloodline stronger than the body-class one?

For those of you who may not know, I have long been searching for my semi-dream car. Not a real dream car, but that "dream car you can afford" type of thing. I finally found a crisp, 5 spd V6 1988 fiero GT. (for those who don't know, the 1988 fieros are the only year that don't suck- they have the lotus suspension design and can handle ungodly well. There were only 6000 made, the majority actually in automatic, and there was one in Hamilton, stock, for almost $20 grand in mint shape. I found one on ebay and recently won it.

Fret not, I'm still driving the camaro, and I'm still planning on trading it in on the ZL1, but unfortunately the fiero will probably be replacing the camaro at the SCCA race events. When I got back from cincy speed and realized it was going to cost me almost 15 grand to compete in autocross, and that I can do every modification ever invented for the fiero for about 5 grand (and have a faster autoX car when its done), I realized I'm too poor to race the camaro!!! maybe in a few years when I have some money I can actually compete with the ZL1.

Just wanted to share!

gahammerle · 07-18-2011, 05:23 PM

Sweet! I would love to have an 88 Fiero Formula with the 5 speed. I looked at quite a few many years ago when I was single. Still occasionally do some window shopping. So I'll bring a rag to clean up the drool when I get to see yours.

I haven't seen a sign-up anywhere. I just posted on the Scroungers forum thread asking if non-club members are allowed to join. I'll post an update when I get more details - maybe create a new thread and link it in this thread, and maybe setup a FB event.

Sounds good, you are now in charge of that event.

Man, you are getting good at putting me in charge of events lol. I'm gonna have to keep my mouth shut from now on.

Darth_Emma · 07-18-2011, 06:22 PM

I nominate Gordy to be in charge of all events henceforth!

Just wanted to share! __________________ 2010 Camaro SS modified extensively. I stretched the body to make it a 4 door, but I swapped in the 3.6L DI V6 for fuel economy. Then I picked up a corvette body around the V8. I also swapped the body for a C2 Z28. (In short I traded it for three cars, a Corvette Z06r, a C2 Camaro Z28, and a Cadillac CTS Summer Performance package 3.6L DI with Aisin 6spd.)
