So I drove my Fiero for the first time in four years...

[Unsafe At Any Speed]

...and it put a smile on my face. It's slow as hell and handles like shit compared to what I normally drive, but I'm still committed to eventually 'finishing' it. Not only that, in my short drive I got one of the "Is that a Ferrari!?" questions.

That said, I have kicked around the idea of trying to swing an '04-'05 Gallardo in a couple of years, which if I were to do would completely dismiss any point in keeping the Fiero.

Thought I'd throw up a picture that I took when I pulled it out of the garage:

Not to sound like too much of a dick but that thing looks busted. It has potential obviously hilut its got a long ways to go. Still a 2.8?

Isn't that the truth, I drive new cars that are better in every aspect but there's something about driving this old slow ass shitbox.

I like mid-engine handling... but a 355, 360 or Gallardo would certainly fill that niche.

Oh I know it does. No worries. I need to obviously finish up some body work stuff. After that I think it will look good once painted, lowered and different wheels/tires.

Yeah, still the 2.8 with a bunch of wasted money in parts on it (headers, exhaust, plenum/TB, MSD, nitrous kit you sold me, etc.

I actually drove the Fiero, my SRT8 Jeep and CTS-V pretty much back to back. A lot of differences there.

Oh and I drove my gf's 4 cylinder Solara. Actually comparable in power there...

Yeah, I was looking and doing research on Gallardo's again yesterday (way more affordable maintenance wise in comparison to the prancing horses).

[The Dark Side of Will]

Every V8 Ferrari (and most of the 12's) from the 308 to the 360 has timing belts. In the 348, 355 and 360, a timing belt replacement is an engine-out service (it might be on the 308 & 328, too, but I don't care about those powertrains)

Gallardo has, what, 4 gallon oil changes?

[Unsafe At Any Speed]

Not an expert and still would need to do more research, but I've seen "$600 annually and $5k every 4-5 years" a few different places.
