Who gives a shit about complaining. If their timing had been just a bit different the car on the on ramp would have been toast. All for a stolen truck. If the chopper lays off, the guy wouldn't even know they're following him in a major city.

Are you for real with this argument? For one, police departments don’t give a shit about costs. They’re given all sorts of DHS money which they buy tanks and shit with. Secondly, that's a fucking pickup truck, not a Prius. Thirdly, you shadow the guy with a cruiser in case the chopper looses him. You must be a cop win…

That's alright, most members of the military have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to military. Peaceniks and jar heads are all on the same page!

Bernie Sanders?

I don’t want to be that guy, but I can’t help but think about how much pride athletes used to take in representing the USA in the Olympics after listening to Mr. Ali’s funeral today. The guy was treated as subhuman in the US but still took great pride in becoming an Olympic gold medalists because it showed he truly…

We are letting people out of jail because there is no room left. How about you just stick a helicopter on him without any patrol cars, then once he stops and gets out send a car in. No need to engage in a high speed chase over a stolen car. Everything is insured.

I’d pay over MSRP for the last gen GT350 if I could afford it, but I’m a car guy. I’ll buy from any brand if they give me something good to buy and I can afford it.

Unless, maybe Mazda makes a little money on each 124 sold. Then they wouldn’t car how many of either model is sold.

Nor should it, this is FIAT we’re talking about. Although if they end up putting a 500 Abarth style exhaust on the 124 Abarth I won’t care which is better. Full disclosure, I own a 500 Abarth and didn’t give two shits about it being reliable when I bought it. Surprisingly, I have had no problems with it over 3 years…

FIAT and Mazda are two separate companies. FCA will do whatever they want in regards to pricing. Why would competition with the Miata cause it to be more expensive? If anything that will cause empty FIAT dealers to drop prices.

It’s a FIAT. If you pay over MSRP on on a FIAT, then you’re an idiot.

It wasn’t fully designed by Lamborghini, but they’re the ones that got the two extra cylinders on the Chrysler LA V8 and designed the new block.

I agree with you, but automaker aren’t known for handling problems very well. In fact, they’re all pretty terrible at it.

I think it is because it is being repaired for free out of warranty, and they don’t want to be obligated to keep doing out of warranty repairs for free. If they didn’t have the document, the person could take them to court saying “they repaired so and so’s car for free out of warranty, why not mine”.

There's a limited number of FIAT dealers in the US, but all of them can sell Abarths. Only a select few can sell the Alfas.

It was a supercar made by a company mostly pushing minivans and pickups with a Lamborghini designed V10 stuffed into it. It also have some pretty radical styling. Even if it wasn’t the fastest car ever made, it was definitely one of the most batshit insane at the time it came out. Remember, they debuted this thing in…

I’ve seen early ‘90s Vipers dip into the low $20k range a few times in the last year. It’s a great price, but not scammy low.

So the Abarth starts at about $28k. Where are all the dummies who were saying they were going to try and sell this thing for $40k? Give it two years and you’ll be able to grab an Abarth new for $22k, or a used one for $10k.

And wait till you see what happens after a few years when no one buys these things. I bought my 500 Abarth, which is equivalent to the esseessee in Europe, brand new for $17k. I saw them going for as low as $15,500.

Well, the FIAT has a completely different drivetrain, so it is not a Miata with a body kit. Also, it’s a fucking FIAT. They’re the cheapest Italian cars you can buy.
