Wow. Nice finishing on the bodywork. Gotta love the 2" square-tube roll bar, too... :puke:

It's a shame what people will do to a perfectly good Fiero...

Quite possibly as long a wheelbase as a Rolls Royce Phantom!

Is it a requirement that all Fiero Trikes must run the stock Fiero wheels? :puke:

That dude in the top pic looks like he's embarrassed to be photographed sitting there. And Yes this is a repost but definitely a pic worthy of it. :lol:

This might be the single most time consuming and expensive way to make a four cylinder Fiero slower than stock.

I think he has it backwards though. Since we have so many HOV lanes springing up in SoCal and they let 3 wheelers in (three wheels is considered a motor cycle) I've wondered about 4 wheel to three wheel conversions. For instance, if you took a FWD compact, removed the rear axle and put in a single rear wheel, would it qualify? More importantly, would the CHP pull you over if you weren't wearing a helmet?

Most state police do not have lists of approved helmets. A dew rag or hat may suffice. Otherwise, it is catch-22.

I don't believe emission checks or safety inspections would be required either.

A few companies offer liability coverage of motorcycles for $50/year.

That looks like the rube goldberg answer to a flat front tire. What a terrible car.

There is an even uglier one about three mile from my house. I'll have to go get a picture as it's so bizarre. It looks like an old Subaru with a VW welded into the back with some sort of odd elongated nose.
