I've had 3 Fiero's, thought they were great. Learned to autocross in my '88 Formula. Miss that car....

No, his door hit a tree, pinning it shut. It also shattered his pelvis and broke his jaw, stuck in a wheelchair, jaw wired shut forever. If I were him, I would hate them too.

just so i'm understanding you- he somehow hit a tree sideways hard enough to jam the door shut and he lived to tell the tale, so he hates the car that could very well have kept him alive and in a chair instead of dead and buried under the ground?

For some more history Ate up With Motor has a good write up about the time line of the fiero. All of the articles are good, but this one happens to be relevant too.

Sad story, and I hate to make light of it, but if he has his jaw wired shut forever, how can he call it a Fire-ero?
