Wow!

Post by xjware »

Took the car out for a good little ride this weekend since buying it last week. First time going more than a couple blocks. Perfect weather. I can see I am going to love this car. The looks and waves from people is amazing. Don't see many cars like this around. Once I get some hoses changed out and hopefully get the obnoxious gas smell out of my garage, I will be one happy camper!

And, it will be fun when this little guy is a few years older!

I was going to say you look a lot young to be typing this and mostly driving ! :D they are great cars ! the only thing you will learn to hate is every time a woman looks at it they will say "what a cute little car " I am MAN ! i dont drive cute ! cool yes handsome yes. racey hell yeah ! cute never. enjoy it drive the crap out of it .soon you will not ever want to be in a hard top again. I find myself feeling like something is wrong when I am in a hard top. almost cramped or closterfobic

It is even worse in my household. Last week a buddy and I went for a drive. It was a perfect day. I texted a picture of us out, mostly to bust her chops, and her reply was. Thelma, tell Louise I said hi. Now she just calls the car Thelma.

The simplest thing is just to find a GF that does.

Be sure to break up after Thanksgiving but before Xmas. That way you get a good meal AND get to spend that Xmas money on your Fiat.

Just kidding.... sort of :?

My wife likes my car because it keeps me out of the house and in the garage.
In fact, after buying the first one that didn't work, she let me by two more!
