so after giving up on the used car search and fighting my way through a lease negotiation, I am now a card carrying member of the Brown Car Appreciation Society.

You're the fifth tiny fiat driver I know of on here now.

This is the first time I actually like the Orange NY license plate. That brown complements it well.

The initiation is that first time it breaks down. Although mine was super easy, the battery died. In the parking lot of work. I work at an auto parts store.

My initiation was a turbo rebuild. I lost a large amount of hand skin and 3 days of my time.

Indeed. Changing a turbo on a tiny car is bloody hard work.

I love Fiat's color choices on the 500, they're one of the few brands out there that still offers decent options. Their olive green is quite pretty as well.

Car and driver's long term test didn't show any problems. Reviews on cars.com seemed mostly positive as well.
