Anyone else notice the following ad from Craigslist on Saturday night?

Out of curiosity I responded to it. Not surprisingly I heard nothing back.

I emailed him shortly after the ad was posted.  I asked him if it was auto or stick, and if I could come take a look at it.

Who's to say that's his garage or his Fiero?

Seriously, that picture could be any one of a million found on the 'net and then used in this guy's "ad".

Yep, sounds all too familiar.

Oh well, I've got my hands full enough with the last GT that I bought a few months ago. I'm hoping to actually be able to drive it to the WCF meeting this Saturday, but we'll see...

Well it will be nice to see you at a club meeting.  Just remind me when you see me who you are.  LOL, we may have met in the past, but for the life of me I can't remember if we had.

3 Fiero's popped up on CL this weekend for low prices. I emailed them all. 1 responded. It was sold. 1 add is now pulled.

2 Fiero's popped up on CL for outrageous prices. I'm sure those are real.

Almost every Fiero that's popped up in the last 6 months I've emailed, less than 10% respond.

I know I'm weird, I've accepted it.
I wanna go fast.
