It's got 200k miles, but besides that it's mechanically pretty good, passes CA smog. What should I look for when I maybe check it out Saturday? Should I go for it? Is it bad to shred up Fresh and snort it?

thanks, i'm trying to keep it stock for as long as I can. the most frustrating part is finding tires for the stock wheels. they dont even make performance tires in that size anymore, so I might try to find some cheap RFP1's for autocross use.

Nice cars. I've always preferred the bumper pad aesthetic, but I've also owned half a dozen DeLoreans.

I think most people buy multiple Fieros because it's often cheaper to buy a second car than most parts. For example, I had one with a bad hood. The local salvage yard wanted $300.00; I offered $50.00, they got mad, and I went out and bought a $300.00 Fiero instead.
