I loved that Fiero for the first year, but then felt it was underpowered with the heavy 4cyl GM engine. Loved the fiberglass body panels, no dents, dings, rust. A good looking little car. Moved from IL to MA in 1990 and it traveled inside the moving truck on the second level. I had it for 6 years.

I do miss that car, memories…
Actually the body panels on a Fiero were impact resistant ABS plastic. I knew a guy in MN that had one with a ford 289 transplanted in it.
