When I showed up to the meeting (Having just freshly come from Lacrosse, smelling of success and sweat. lol) I grabbed my orange soda, chugged it, put in on my decklid, and began chatting with David, Johnny boy, Patrick, Clynt and many more. With a gargantuan turn out today (A whopping 16 cars related to our event! 14 Fieros, of which 4 were Fastbacks and 10 Notchies), the social vibe was in full swing. After standing out front chit chatting for a long while, the talking simply moved inside for a long while.

Once we got down to business, the first discussion opened up was a reminder that Hell's Gate is next weekend. So, for the following seven days, you will not get in trouble for telling a fellow member to "go to hell".

Following that was discussions regarding Arlington (And by nature, a debate regarding passports versus enhanced lisences) as well as the All Pontiac Show. Don't forget to get some form of ID for getting into Arlington, signup at the website posted in the forums and sign up for the All Pontiac Show as well. We also spoke of the BBQ fiasco which will be known from here-on-out as the "OMGWTFBBQ" event.

Sail panels took the lime light next. A comparison was made to the wallet-friendly pair from Patrick, and the stock clones. Sadly, Brian was absent to being the OEM ones (Tied up with work) but attendees still had a decent comparison to decide what was right for them.

After touching upon Damien's big-bore throttle body (Of which more information can be found in these forums), discussion moved to Collector's plates again. Following that was a horror story shoot out of oil changes, and a synthetic vs conventional discussion.

Continuing on (It was a very word-y meeting), we began discussion of how many things for Fieros are becoming rare - if not impossible - to find. In order to maintain these vehicles, we may need to look into converting parts from other cars, or fabricating them ourselves. Of particular discussion was Salve Cylinders (Of which the Good Doctor makes) and shocks (Of which Koni no longer makes. Well, not ridiculously hardcore ones, anyways).

As things drew to a close, people began to trickle out slowly, with some stopping to admire the throttle body, others to compare the sail panels and some particular older individual(s) trying to stop the best-looking club member from taking the waitress home with them... Wait, what were we speaking of?

Oh yes, as the last few members finally left, I found myself playing with a black 2M6 (I'm thinking Damien). What I couldn't figure out is why my car was "whistling" (The same sound wind makes in scary movies) at speeds over 150KPH. Turns out that soda can I had left on my decklid had caught itself between the spoiler and the decklid, and the wind would wrap around it that at 150+ speeds, it would become audible. Science, she is the win!

 

  Thank you for the great write up Tristen, as always you manage to put an entire night into a few well worded paragraphs.  Thank You.

Well, you had nothing better to do since you struck out with the waitress anyway.

Good write-up Tristan, and good pictures Dave. Great turn out tonight!

And don't forget the "PONTIAC" on the bumper as well.

 

Johnny, what's this obsession you have with how people take pictures and then comparing it to toads and worms? Kind of weird if you ask me!

Jeez, you know, I'm chattin' her up, she asks me to take her for a spin some time, and you gotta come in there and ruin it for me Patty. I don't stop you from trying to pick up the ladies.

Jerk. lol
