Unlike a lot of older people, she had very positive things to say about the noisy exhaust. But then, her last car was a stick shift NA Miata, so she’s not like a lot of older people.

I saw two old ladies get out of a new GTI yesterday. Sometimes old folks know what’s going on.

Wish I could afford an Abarth, or a 500T! :(

I saw about a week ago for the first time an Abarth driven woman, it was very cool.

Reminds me of the time I saw a Cooper S with “BMWJR” vanity plate.

At a glance, I thought it said BARF FART

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > sm70- why not Duesenberg?

OK, I’m here in Canada and haven’t done any autocross, personally, but why couldn’t somebody AutoCross the 500T? Explain to me why the SCCA down there has all these limits....as far as I think, you should be able to Autocross anything as long as it’s Center of Gravity is not high enough for easy rollovers, or unless the car is not roadworthy/safe....?

You want to Autocross your tuned Miata? Go for it! You want to autocross your stock Citroen 2CV, why not!?

Why the limits on what people can bring? :(

Winnipeg Sports Car Club holds events with rules based around SCCA rule book.

The non Abarth 500 is too tall for the wheelbase. There’s a ratio a car needs to meet.

Ah, that makes sense, I guess.....still unfortunate though!

If you’re in the US, Abarths (and Fiats in general) depreciate like a rock. Check out any dealer’s used inventory.

They are still cheap here too, but I don’t have the money to trade in the Accent right now. :)
