Hey, we all have to go eventually, right? So ask yourself this: When the inevitable happens, do you want to check out in your sleep?

Fierenzo Makes Way To CraigsList, Get It Now For $7500

Yes friends, while not quite as hot as the Fieroborghini, we've found the Coyote 3-kitted Fiero up on Tampa's Craigslist that gives our Enzo-saving hearts a warm and fuzzy feeling. Although the seller's doing a fine job, we've put together how our own ad would have read. Here goes:
