Car(s): '88 White GT
Bio: I am founder of our club
which originated back in October of 1991 with eleven
people. After so many years, I have yet to loose
enthusiasm in maintaining our club because of the
over 350 members we have. I have met so many club
members that are now personal friends; the Fiero
brought us together, but the relationships keep
us together. |

'88 Red T-Top GT V8
Bio:
I
joined NIFE in 1993 after reading an article about
the collectability of the 88GT, and then purchasing
a 88GT identified as one of the top 10 on the list.
A couple of months later I found a 86SE that needed
work, and the rest is history. I have owned multiple
Fiero’s over the years, and continue to enjoy
Fiero’s along with the many enthusiasts I have met
in the Fiero community. I continue to function as
NIFE’s membership director, club treasurer and
“merchandise fulfillment center”. |

Car(s):
'86 White GT
Bio:
I remember being aware of the Fiero buzz back
in high school in the mid-eighties. In high school
and through college, I drove a 1969 Cadillac. I
loved that car, but the body & drive train were
starting to show their age. I always wanted a
Corvette, but wasn't in the budget for a recent
college graduate. I started looking at Fiero's &
eventually stumbled across a white '86 GT for sale
by owner, which I purchased. In November of 2000, I
took on the role of NIFE Webmaster, after our
previous webmaster, Byron Daugherty moved out of
state and have enjoyed working on our website along
with Mike Kroyer ever since. |

Car(s):
'85 White SE
Bio: I joined NIFE in April
of 2010 shortly after inheriting my mother’s white
’85 Sport Coupe which she had purchased new. It was
her daily driver. I find it to be a very fun car to
drive and understand why she kept it all those
years. I use it for pleasure drives, car shows, and
club events, storing it in the winter. |
