Wow. I am dumbfounded that someone else also had a Fuego AND frequents this particular website (side note: calling it a blog is certainly politically correct, you can also call it – perhaps more accurately – a blisaster)…you are my female doppelgänger, apparently – according to wikipedia, a doppelgänger is usually evil or misfortunate…clearly I am the unfortunate one in this symbiotic situation – as YOU GOT A F*CKING IROC-Z AFTER WRECKING YOUR FUEGO! The International Race of Champions model Camaro Z-28 was my dream car – I particularly fancied the yellow one with IROC-Z in light blue lettering (later, I discovered that I liked girls, not yellow cars)…

I hereby submit my formal apology for accusing you of trolling (in internet terminology, this is baiting people with incendiary comments and letting them get really mad, for one’s own sick enjoyment). You delivered the goods, and clearly were on the “good things happen” side of our doppelgänger decision tree if you ended up with an IROC. That’s amazing.

Chillz – just emailed you the pic of me with my Fuego. Check your spam in case it gets caught. I’ll take your apologies, in advance, in the form of more postings from you!!! Keep the good times rolling, bro

Wow chillz – harsh words! I don’t even know what trolling means. This is the first blog (is that the pc term?) that i’ve ever followed. The pic exists – and I will find it and send it to you or fully accept my pending membership in the wastedpotentialz fan club to be thoroughly and summarily, revoked. I can see the pic clearly in my minds eye – it’s either in one of 10 photo albums in my mom’s (which I will haul down from their perch atop her rickety bookshelf today after church) – or they are in a box of pics in my apt. I believe it’s the former. In the process of the Renault pic – I’m hoping to also find the irocz. Tchau tcahu chilly

You had me for some time, kittyinthemiddle, but there’s absolutely no way you also owned a renault fuego….given that only like 7 people in the US owned that thing, I now know you are trolling me big-time…the odds of two different fuego owners hovering around the same IP address are astronomical….so nice fetching try, but I will now suspend my belief….unless you produce the photographic evidence…

(for the record: the cloth sunroof was awesome!)

chillz – it’s a sad sloooooooow day in the world of high-stakes (okay, can’t even type that with a straight face) banking – so i’m carving out a little chilly time for myself. Before I even opened this – i just KNEW the fuego would be on your list. Not trying to brag or anything – but i was the semi-proud owner of a red, 1986 fuego in high school (sadly, no cloth sunroof) – my dad even hooked her up with some sweet pinstriping. The engine used to just cut off at like speeds above 40 mph (awesome) – and, completely unrelated – you can get busy in one of these things. I am flying back home (down south) this afternoon and am actually compelled to find that pic in the photo album of me, at 17 – standing like a proud peahen – next to my fuego. Rocking the big, ozone destroying hair. It was a fun ride – till i wrecked her in a spectacular crash – and my dad then bestowed upon me a 1984 camaro iroc z with irridescent flames painted on the hood. True story. You can ban me from your site now lol. If i find that pic – i’m sending it to you.

Chilly, that is a strong survey of industrial machinery that I haven’t seen since NatGeo did a documentary comparing the importance of the Jethro Tull’s landmark seed drill to the Spinny Jenny, both instrumental during the industrial revolution. Murray Hewitt, a fictional character in the epic HBO series, Flight of the Conchords, has a green Honda Accord, “with only one previous owner”… where does this fit on your scale?
