If you have something to say about a new model hitting the road, are buying a different/new vehicle, want to post a picture of your car, or wish to share a story of idiot drivers, do it here.

FIAT USA - Home

I saw my first 500/Cinquecento today. In red. It was drawing some attention. I think mostly of the "What is that dinky thing?" kind though.

The people who need something that large are overcompensating for something that is lacking in size and are unwilling to support Kevin Conway.

1970 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 W30 in Twilight Blue Metallic. I drove a '70 Cutlass which had a Chevy 454 dropped in it, and that was awesome. Horsepower galore. However, I'm a fan of torque, and the Pontiac/Buick/Oldsmobile 455 was more potent in that department.

Oddly enough, I'm glad I wasn't able to buy the Cutlass. I wouldn't have the 2011 Mazda 3 that I have now, and have come to realize that power may be great, but it makes no difference if that power is under the hood of something with a larger turning radius than Jupiter's orbit of the sun.

I wouldn't mind having one of these.

I've always liked these on and off the track.

Automobiles, yeah. As much as it hurts to say it, they've gotten some of them right as well. Behold the beauty of a Bugatti from bygone years:
