There is only one Lobo.

“Still stupid, just not young”.

No thank-you. I’ll stick with...

Geez, one look at that thing and I was hoping that I would see these in the bed...

This deserves more stars!  Take mine.

Corvair?  That name is dead and buried. 

My ultimate man cave garage.  A Chrysler Turbine car on one side, and the George Barris’ Batmobile on the other side.  Ah the 60's...

My old ‘88GT I’ve been blabbing about.

That’s exactly what I say when I’m referring to it.   Pretty much sums it up.

4.9 Caddy was a popular swap at one time.  Then the Northstar.  This necessitated cutting out a section of the trunk and making it shallow so an exhaust would fit.  That’s why the 3.8 was a good swap.  I had it done without cutting up the trunk and using the factory exhaust tips after custom hand built headers and

I moved on from Fiero’s a long time ago and I’m currently in a C7. Had a bunch of Mustangs in-between, including a Shelby. If I’m going with a non-metal body GM car, it’s going to be a Vette - and my preference is with the engine in the front.

You’re right, it was me the that was turned around 180 degrees when viewing the engine bay from the rear of the car.  The drivertrain was just pushed back from front to rear.

Third gear was a beast in that thing.  Forgot to mention I had an under drive pulley on the SC.  The whine from the SC was sexy as hell.   I’d got 5.3 V8 from an Impala rather than a 3.6.  Can’t beat that V8 rumble.  I think Fiero Archie in Chicago was the first to do that transplant, but don’t quote me on it.  I’ve

Right out of the GT-40 playbook (with thanks to Ford vs. Ferrari).

Pretty much sums up why I sold my ‘17 Street Glide (low mileage) after nine years of riding.  I picked up a Fiat Spider 124 to replace it. Still keep that open air feeling, and my wife will be along for the ride. She never once rode along on the three bikes I owned.

Fiero suspension: A-Car FWD engine and cradle turned around 180 degrees and mounted in the rear. Front suspension (‘84-’87) was derived from a Chevette. The C4 suspension was state of the art from that era and was as good as anything coming from European sports car manufacturers. Keep your star, don’t need it.

Owned an ‘88 GT with a 3800SC transplant for about seven years. Attractive looking little vehicle in GT trim, which got a lot of attention. If you’re going to own one of these, you better be handy as many little things can go wrong.
