In 1983 I bought a well cared for Porsche 914 2.0 that was the most fantastic
car I've ever owned. I remember when my neighbor bought his Fiero and parked
next to me and I was amazed to see that the Pontiac was actually sitting
lower than my car. Well I was able to put heavier springs on the rear and
shoehorn lower profile tires under the wheelwells (205/60/15) of the little
VW/Porsche and just about got it. I often wondered what the driving
characteristics of the Fiero were like. Oh yes, 914s could catch on fire too
and unfortunately if this happens you need to walk away as fast as possible
as the magnesium alloy in the engine tends to burn very well :0
