My ex-wife absconded with a car I bought her as well. It was a navy blue Tercel with a dark gray vinyl interior and no AC.
She scampered back to her home state of Louisiana with it; well worth the write-off to check her local weather forecast, crack a smile and softly whisper, sweat you Berkleytard, sweat.
…sorry for the thread jack, back to FIAT goodness.
I doubt it, because the mayans never predicted the end of the world.

My Escort sounds meaner.

Ah. Fun times. We need to rally sometime. Unfortunately, my Cadavalier will not meet spec unless there is an open group.

It seems that it is worth the trip back to the "studio" to get more info on what is specifically covered or not covered.

Oh, it's reviewing great--no one seems to be buying them.
JThw8--drop that thing a couple of inches!!! They look dead sexy at a "proper" ride height. Neat little car, for sure. The one with the Ti exhaust sounds awesome.

I'd love to but the closest Rallycross I've been able to find for me is in Indianapolis.
And from the looks of things STLRallyx hasn't run an event since '09.

No one is buying because there aren't enough of them. They are going off the lots fairly quickly.
When I was a the dealer Saturday, they had a white one in the shown room and a black one on the lot.
Those were readily visible, I didn't ask if they had any others.
I spent entirely too much time looking through Florida dealer inventories, and it looks like there are plenty of Abarths to go around. At least three or four of the dealerships had six on hand; most had at least one.
The Abarth has such aggressive styling, that I think a sedate paint color would suit it best. The gray looked really nice, but it also appeared to be the least common.
White + red stripes = [/abarth color dispute]
