    Lets see how you get around town.. Nothing special here.. started out on the wrong foot with this car.. about 12 hours old (5 years ago +)

    The Honda was one I walked away from unhurt @ 17 years old..
    Parents - Seat Belts...

    This car was estimated at 7 rolls. There were scrapes on trees higher than I could reach..

    I was doing about 70 mph and hit a tree with the passenger fender (left side standing @ hood.)
    This was a good angle. I have more pics.. I might post sometime..

    Anyhow, my mom always tells my dad that she's going to buy a Mustang Convertible if he doesn't stop spending money. LOL that's all I meant. He drives a new Tundra, and she's trading in a 2005 Ford 500 soon..

    :p YOU said mid-life.. lol I never said you were old.. LOL I bet we're close..

    They don't make them like that anymore.. We have some Chevy work trucks with more than 350,000 miles on them.. you've got lots of life left in that thing.

    Oooh Paxton, the 500 is a cool nippy car, also very stylish and eeeks back to the original 500, they are releasing a sportier model late or early next year from the Abarth tuning arm, had a Stilo Abarth before the Bravo and it was for a sub 3lt car quick.

    Suprised the Bravo is not legal in USA as it passes the very tought EU crash tests with full 5 Stars and has low emmisions plus great fuel eccomomy!!! but IIRC Fiat has not had much luck selling in USA in past.... maybe as they are frugal the oil companies hate them ;)

    Sure does, saw on the news where people are buying bicycles like crazy, that and public transportation.
    Do you know what kind of gas mileage you'll be getting? 2 stroke should be good

    Actually, I switched my order yesterday to this one because the other one was on crazy back order and wouldn't even ship out till like 3 weeks.

    The MPG is whatever 30 miles for 1 liter of gas equals out to.

    Gas companies do not like it as it doesnt do 8mpg ;) :-D



    I did hear that its possible FIAT will import and start selling the 500 in the USA, but likely in a year or so's time.
