A fella in an immaculate Datsun
510 2-door pulled up alon
g side me in my longboi on the freeway,
and
gave me
a thumbs up. After I
returned
the sentiments
, he
floored
it and disappeared into the horizon.
It’s silly, but I love it when someone excited about a vehicle I own. Wouldn't mind a 510, though...

the 510 is a neat car, my great grandparents bought one new and promptly ran it into the ground, lol. there wasn't much left of it when it was scraped

I gave a thumbs up to an E46 M3 on I-37, but we might have been almost doubling the speed limit.

Met a fellow Abarth owner on his way into a shopping center I was leaving. There was a lot of horn honking and excited yelling.
I’m pretty sure my dad still has a 510 2-door in the carport. At least it was still in the shape of a car the last time I saw it, it may have disintegrated by now.

Seeing another one of your car is always a fun experience . It’s happened once with me and we just waved.

I pass a super clean orange every morning on the way to work. High school kid headed to class. He always gets a waive.

If I remember right, we had the same color combo (white with black stickers/trim ) so that might’ve taken things up a notch. I think I wave at every Fiat 500 owner (not X/L...I just feel bad for them ).

love it, (those 510s are a great looking automobile - I’d argue better than a BMW2002 if done right...)

I work with a lady that sometimes drives an Abarth to work - I believe it’s got an aftermarket exhaust and the thing sound spectacular in the parking garage. Super loud growl and full on turbo whistle.

I miss driving mine in the airport parking garage! I spent two months without a back window after a hailstorm so I kept going up to the canyons for tunnel runs.

T hey are arguably the absolute best sounding small turbo motor ever made - no exaggeration.
