Default Fiero???

I'm thinking about buying one as a DD. I want a car that compliments my serious cocaine addition and I think driving a Fiero would be a perfect choice. I found a great deal on one that I may check out this weekend. V6, 5 speed, red exterior, 2 owners, 86k miles, and dark cloth interior. Overall, damn clean for a 1988. Should I even think about purchasing a Fiero? Has anyone ever owned one before? Is there a good place to hide a little bit of snow in a Fiero? I get a little paranoid sometimes. Suggestions please.

Try a Chevy 2500 Regency Conversion Van. Plenty of places to hide things I guess...

Fieros have a small fanbase. Some like to mod them and act like they are ferraris. Hell, there are conversion kits to make them LOOK like ferraris. Most Fieros I've seen are owned by kids who couldn't afford SS's or WS6's, but now that the price of THOSE are going down, you might stop seeing Fieros all together.

My 88 Supra was impounded at the street races.

If I get a good deal then I'm going to buy it. If not, oh well. I think it would be cool to have.

Dark interior is really isn't the right choice due to what sounds like a pretty serious cocaine addiction if you are actually thinking about getting a fiero.

Almost 80% of them have headlight failure. Next you see one on the road one headlight will always be up.
