    You keep the window rolled down to hand signal (since the signal stalk
    broke off 20,000 miles ago, and to grab the rear-view mirror before it
    falls off. :)

    and a '77 X1/9...)




    ... What do you think of the guests?

    lol! I have heard similar things before - and yet Fiat still seems to continue to sell some cars - pretty amazing!

    The new 124 Spyder is based off of the Miata. Let's see how that holds
    up. :)



    ... How does this work, is there an orientation?

    1970s fiats were fun little cars. Swap out the carb for a weber,
    suspension parts were cheap, small tires = cheap, and engines that
    liked to rev meant that you had a fun little ride.

    I had more fun driving a friend's boxy front-wheel drive 128 around
    curves than my other friends who had muscle cars.

    And, the X1/9 - same free-revving feel in a mid-engine car with skinny
    tires meant you could make it oversteer, understeer, or both -
    sometimes both at the same time!



    ... Would you like to wake up from this dream?

    Ah, I didn't know they were available in the US in the 1970s too (were they?). And that isn't the same Weber that makes grills, is it? :P

    IIRC, Fiat actually owns just about all of the Italian car companies... Ferarri, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Lancia... so I wonder if they are all that
    way? :)

    Do they own Mazda also?

    I presume some of the brands are better that others... *shrug* Ferrari was spun off on it's own a few years ago, but otherwise yes they have quite a number of brands.
