Three Big Fat Cheers For Fiero Freaks

In a nutshell:

Young kid (18) falls in love with Fieros, buys one for $150, takes his senior pics with it, and then finds out he has terminal cancer. He posts about it on a Fiero board, and THREE DAYS later the board members have convened in his hometown and brought his raggedy Fiero up to show quality awesome so that he can drive it while there's still time.

5 million awesome points for them, and if any of them are here today, stand up and receive some well earned applause.

That . . .is AWESOME!!! Two thumbs up for those guys . . .

Stuff like this is what makes me proud to be a car guy!

well done. I like to think I would do the same.

wow, that is just really awsome, please make mention of these people in an upcoming issues, i know its too late for 2009, but i vote thses poeple for the 2010 25 peole and things of the year. this is very cool and i have to wipe the tears way after watching this.

Props are definitely deserved here. Just wish it was under better circumstances.

Well done.

I know a few of the guys that worked on that car..... was amazing stuff how it got put together. Had we known, we'd have been down there as well.

Well done indeed.

My thought's go out to Tyler, his family, and the kind Fiero loving folks that went that extra mile.

Bravo!

Absolutely awesome.

Reinforces my faith in the car community and car guys

I take back some of the things I said about Fieros.

There is something very special about our car culture. Rich or not so rich, talented or just helpers, we all share something special in life. And it appears, afterwards. God bless all involved in this project. I guess it's a good thing this was not better publicized, there would be no way for all of us to fit in there.

it just goes to show, if there's a good reason, all bickering aside, car guys tend to band together.

Amazing, great story

AWESOME!

That's a great story, but man did I ever want to punch that newsreader by the end of the clip. It's like. He was trying. To be. Shatner. But. Worse.

I like how it did not take a bussload of C list celebs to pull it off. (abc tv network I am glaring at you)

well done, well played, and well delivered.

Some people are just amazing.

I'm amazed but not surprized.

Good on 'ya, guys...

I like how it only took "regular" car guys three days to do what would have taken Overhaulin' almost but OMFGDRAMA not quite 7 days.

Perhaps these guys could get together and save Pontiac.

People are good.

Really makes you feel good about humanity.
