That literally made me take my glasses off to facepalm hard enough. SALT LAKE HOSTED A FUCKING WINTER OLYMPICS!!!

I tend to pack pretty light, so I’d have no problems putting my junk in the frunk and going!

In fairness, I can fit 3 Costco cases of water in my mk1 MR2. 2 in the frunk and one in the passenger seat. Could put another in the passenger footwell if I didn't need to carry the rest of my autocross stuff too. My trunk is full of battery and intercooler, but if I had that available I could fit some more stuff too

Looking for 3 door fun, m'dear? Allow me to introduce you to your new vest friend, the Fiat 500 Abarth. Come to the dark side, we have biscotti

My husband had an SW20 as a teenager. I own an AW11 racecar. Needless to say there’s plenty of debate around our house

I think I’d rather look up at a map of the Ring than watching myself get fucked

It’s just human ketchup, wash it off and press on!

Honda Element. Pontiac Aztecs get all the hate for being plasticky and hideous, but I honestly think the Element is a worse design abomination.

In fairness, the meat of carnivores (aside from the water dwelling variety) tends not to taste as good as the meat of herbivores. At least to our human tongues. Perhaps bears feel the same way?

Parts hunting so far has been surprisingly easy. New seats and such have come from Midwest Bayless and all mechanical bits have been easily sourced through NAPA. Having flipped through the Haynes manual though, I am NOT looking forward to rehabbing the brakes. Early Italian disk brake technology, this should be an…

If you’re not already on the facebook AbarthChat group, feel free to join. That’s the main place I share my love of Fiats, when I’m not being called a nazi for being a moderator, haha

I’m not sure it’s a restoration really, which is why I haven’t been sharing. It’s a “ran when parked 7 years ago” case with only a nasty interior and a small amount of body damage. Believe it or not, very minimal rust as well. I’m waiting on a fuel regulator for it right now which hopefully in theory should get it…

Y'know, surprisingly I get that a lot.

We don’t get to pick who we fall in love with, for me that was Fiat. And I am known to fiercely defend those I love. But mostly I just think these cars are freaking awesome and want to share my love of them with anyone who might listen

The 500e is badass, has way more range than reported, and can smoke a stock Abarth 0-40. I think Saint Peter would give a nod for that one as well.

As usual, just shooting from the hip, but I mean every word. It’s not every day I feel the need to eulogize the CEO of a major corporation, but in this case it’s true

Ugh, punched me right in the soul there

Wwithout Sergio it’s actually kinda hard to think of the person I would be. I started becoming a car person (not all of us are born or raised this way) around 2012, right as Fiat was reentering the US. I picked up a 500 Pop as the perfect city car. A year and a half later I swapped for an Abarth. I began to make a…

Dear Mr. Manley,

It would be an update to the US 500, so I think all of us Fiat nerds would accept it
