Silk Road
The Silk Road was a trade network that spanned across Asia. It primarily used by Asian traders, but went into Africa and Europe. The routes were known mainly for the silk trade that it facilitated, but there were also countless other items transported on the Silk Road. The road was instrumental in spreading Asian influence during ancient times.

The silk road has been called trans-Eurasian because it linked Europe and Asia. It linked China to the shores of the eastern Mediterranean (which were part of the Roman Empire) by crossing central Asia. The silk could also be shipped to Europe and to the rest of the Roman Empire from these shores. It enabled the Chinese to sell silk to rich people around the Roman Empire. Silk was so popular among the rich that the Roman state introduced a law aimed at reducing the level of its purchases.

The Silk Roads were a "complex network of trade routes" that gave people the chance to exchange goods and culture.
It was incredibly dangerous to travel along the Silk Road,becauseyou faced desolate white-hot sand dunes in the desert, forbidding mountains, brutal winds, and poisonous snakes. There was one nice section, called the Gansu Corridor, a relatively fertile strip that ran along the base of one of the mountains. To reach this strip, you had to cross the desert or the mountains. And of course, there were always bandits and pirates.

Your 1988 fiero v6 automatic stalls out at road ends it only does it occasionally what could it be?
Inspect all your vacuum lines, particularly the rubber tubing end portions that join the nylon tubes to their connecting points on the engine. While it's uncommon for the rigid nylon tubes themselves to break, it's very common for the rubber segments on the ends that connect the nylon tubes to the engine to rot and crack out of site, appearing fine on visual inspection while being nearly severed. The inertia of stopping or turning may flex the tubing at the cracks, causing the engine to stall out. It's a good idea to check Fiero vacuum connections a few times each year now that the cars are older. The higher than average temperatures in the Fiero's mid-engine compartment cause parts like this to deteriorate more rapidly than in other cars. Consider replacing all those rubber portions at the ends at once since it's cheap to do, requiring only a couple feet of tubing to replace all the ends.
