Well brothers and sisters, despite the abhorrently low
Fiero count (Six. All fastbacks.), as usual we rocked the
proverbial casbah. The meeting started with the mandatory
chatting amongst members in the parking lot, including
Grimm Dragon's maker (Chris), along with our italian
artist (Johnny Boy), our chief (David), our super-sexy
young member (This one) and Patrick.
As things moved inside, chatting continued amongst
several more members including David, Damien, our sound
GURU (Sorry brother, your name eludes me!) and many more.
Once things got organized, a whopping $3 50/50 draw was
won, followed by yours truly winning free food, and
members snagging mint-condition dog-bones and light-up
shift knobs (Red and blue, both won by John). The
organized topics were very brief, but it was abundantly
clear that there were two hot-button topics: Arlington
and insurence. Reminding all of you that Arlington is
just around the corner, so get your passports/enhanced
IDs, and please bring any canopies/chairs if you can, the
club could really use them.
Insurence made for some interesting discussion,
especially with regards to agreed value, where the
customer can elect to set the "worth" of their vehicle,
making it very intriguing to members such as Johnny Boy,
Blair and our sound guy (Sorry again!), who's vehicles
are worth significantly more than the blue book value of
their vehicle. Hagerty's was also presented as a paragon
in comparison to the make-you-want-to-stick-nails-in-
your-eyes tactics of ICBC as well.
We briefly touched upon the Pontiac Show (Don't forget
to pre-register, there's incentives to), the upcoming
tech session and Damien's work on the throttle body and
manifold combination. Patrick also shed some valuable
light on the enhanced ID process, which is $52 to change
a current lisence over to, or $35 (Plus the initial $75)
when renewing, and is mailed within ten days.
One of the most intriguing moments of the night was
the introduction to our newest brother, Wayne, who's four
cylinder is unfortunately un-salvagable, but remains
eager to drive the pegasus emblem, having fallen for a
2M4 back during the initial Fiero-mania in '84. Until
then, he is the owner of a Grand Prix GXP (3.8L Series II
Supercharged) which should fill the gap until he can find
a Pontiac with the engine in the proper half of the car.
The organized aspect of the meeting was brief but
things continued for a very, very long time in the
parking lot (Almost two hours by the time David, Patrick
and I left) where Wayne was able to show off his
moderately tuned and very clean Grand Prix. Also present
was the insane-audio Fiero, which ran no less than six 8"
subs, a four channel and mono-block amp, and a battery
that's large enough to power a small city. And that's not
even touching upon all the visual modifications that have
been done. David's '88, Patrick's '86 (Sporting the gold
hood off of his current project) Luke's '86 and my
Gretchin rounded out the roster.
Our audio-connaisseur Arun suggested an audio tech-
session one day, which I will admit I am completely in
favour of, and I came up with the brilliant idea of
mounting a battery down by the front cross-member of the
vehicle, which David promptly informed has been done
before. Such as on his own vehicle.
And, as an added anecdote for Patrick, I strolled on
up to our waitress and proceeded to collect a phone
number. He can enjoy knowing that my high from that
victory was short-lived, as I proceded to be LIT UP by a
2008 Corvette ZO6 on the highway.
