Via Fark, this story of Tyler Shipman, a dying high school senior from Minnesota whose last wish is that his beloved 1986 Pontiac Fiero be restored. The wish was made on a Fiero enthusiast’s forum, and the response was as overwhelming as the badass yellow restoration that resulted. The car was finished today, and Tyler even [...]

One Went "Postal" In Orlando... Anyone but me wonder what the heck was/is going on down in Orlando this week? First I hear that some guy has run into an office building in downtown and shot the place up, killing one person and wounding five more. Then I hear that the guy was shooting in the offices of an engineering firm and was an engineer himself. I know that for various product related...

Bryce Nash, a 27-year-old engineer, started with a 1988 Fiero Formula with a dismantled engine, bought on Craigslist for just $500. His real find, located in a Michigan junkyard for $800, was the electric motor and inverter from an electric Chevrolet S10 pickup.

The 19th race in 24 Hours Of LeMons history took place last weekend, and we finally had our first-ever Nissan winner! Right behind it- well, in some cases way behind it- were 121 other vehicles.

DIY all-wheel-drive Pontiac Fiero hybrid - Click above for high-res image gallery We've seen plenty of custom Pontiac Fieros in our day, often kitted out with some sort of Italian-inspired bodywork and possibly an engine swap, but we've never come across a Fiero quite like this one. This all-wheel drive hybrid Fiero (seriously, how cool is that') was built to compete in the Grassroots Motorsports...

This is a hybridized Pontiac Fiero , but it doesn't work like you might think. Instead of some fancy trickery with the gas engine, this one uses an electric S10 motor to power the front wheels. The hybrid Fiero is being built to compete in the Grassroots Motorsports $2009 Challenge , which means it has to cost no more than that sum of the year and will compete in an autocross, a drag race, and up-close...

We've been quite polite these past weeks as we have endured the infestation of a number of Dubs trolls. Some of them have been polite and interesting. Some have been so obnoxious that they've even been banned from the SB Nation Warriors Blog, Golden State of Mind . I like the trolls, they make laugh and liven up the discussion with their hopelessly hopeful views about the future of their team. And...

Turning 21 can mean big changes — new opportunities, more respect and the chance to strike out on your own. But as Nice Price or Crack Pipe knows, sometimes it can be hard to spread your wings. Yesterday, you zombie-loving prom-goers gave the Pinzgauer a twenty-one Nice Price salute, with a solid 68% of you voting it prom queen. Today, we've going to ogle a 21 year-old , and she's a beauty too....

33-year old Canadian Woody "Wood" Sticksandbranches is making himself a Lamborghini. The vehicle is built on top of a $60 Pontiac Fiero chassis and promises to be one hell of a good looking ride. Nice work Loggy, I can't wait to see the finished product. Maybe you could take me for a spin sometime. But no funny business -- I don't care if you do drive a Lamborghini look-alike. Just kidding,...

Jacob Sullum runs through many of the reasons why the feds running GM is an awful idea, but like the oilpan in my old 1970 Chevy Impala, you can never fully catch all the leaks with a single fix. Indeed, Alan Vanneman points to more reasons to be skeptical of the GM takeover that isn't really a takeover because President Obama has told us he doesn't want to be running GM but if you don't move those...

Racinian Jeff Warg bought his first new car in 1988 -- a Pontiac Fiero GT. That was the same year General Motors killed off the four-year-old Fiero and hauled its production tooling to Spring Hill, Tennessee, to build the Saturn. ( Admittedly, the early Fieros had serious engine problems and issues with fires; but by '88 they'd been overcome... ) Warg, right , still has his Fiero -- it has 107,000...
