I'm with you on that one Afterburn549, I got my Abarth a week and half ago, will reach the 300miles mark probably tomorrow.
Mine is color Grigio. I will not mind at all driving 500 miles with it.

did you get the onboard espresso maker?

i bought my 500 the week they came out in 2011. i wanted to get the Abarth, but they weren't out yet. this last fall, i bought a different italian to give into my speed fix. the 500 is the daily driver still. this is my weekend toy....

Holy cow Embraer, that 355 is gorgeous. I love the wedge Fcars and that silver/grey body and wheel color looks amazing together. Now that's an Italian mistress!

Well, that ought to kill this thread...;)

That's news!!! Decided against the lotus I take it? Sweet ride man.

Bunch a F Heads

Impossible to commit adultry with an Italian...any contact is a gift from God!

Agreed

As is evidenced by the fact that italian law permits you to slap a woman on the ass as long as it was a spur of the moment thing

A much older friend of mine who spent much time roaming the world told me once "I am convinced now more than ever that Italian women are the reason God provided men with a penis..."

Mike, I LOVE the color combo on the 355. Great contrast between the wheels and body color, it's a subtle and classy look.

thanks for the kind words guys. i don't want to detract from afterburn's Abarth....that in itself is a very cool car. I've driven them.

the ferrari is very subtle (well, for a ferrari) in that color combo. im starting to like the dark wheels...when i bought the car, i planned on returning them back to stock, but i might keep them that way. i bought the car from a guy who lived down the road from my girlfriend....a guy who posts on the forums here, and also has several long-hood 911's.

like when Schumi impulse bought his lotus....the ferrari was an impulse buy for me. I stopped to say hi when i saw the PO outside one day...had a title to a ferrari the next.

the 40 valve V8 is intoxicating sounding. ive already put almost a 1000 miles on the car with no hiccups. there's a pretty good cross-reference for parts on the car, so common maintenence items can be had for a much cheaper price then if they came in a yellow box.

oh, and Sid...yep. i decided against the lotus. after driving several exiges and elises, i just couldnt get past getting in and out of it, build quality, etc. it's a great track car, but not a street car.
