Hell yeah! Nice color by the way. It's the sport right? Those are the wheels that come with the sport if I remember correctly.

Aye, it's a 2012 sport 5mt with the brown/silver vinyl interior, hard to find. 42k miles, just came out of factory warranty, I got the extended 3 year warranty because I've owned an Italian car before. :)

Smart moves all around. I didn't even know they made it in brown to be honest. It looks great.

In a word, nippy. And parking is hilariously easy. Also, anyone who says 101 hp isn't enough to safely merge or pass isn't trying hard enough. And I've had the thing for like two hours and had 5 people give me a thumbs up or tell me in a parking lot how nice the color is. Since I'm a bit of an attention whore, that is awesome.

That's about as Jalop as it gets. Brown, and I assume manual? Beautiful color btw. Enjoy it!

Whats the crash rating on that? Not a lot of crumple zone if you get hit

Lovely colour...

I've test driven many 500s, from Pop to Abarth, and I can honestly say that the Sport was just as much fun to ring out as the Abarth. Just a different kind of fun.

Great car, whose flaws become endearing. VERY underrated car in terms of smiles per mile per dollar. :D

I thought you had a mustang before. A Black one. Must have been someone else I guess.

Did your wife by any chance drive it recently and have a hard time getting it up a hill? Is it a manual? (I'm asking this because there's a post a few posts down about that happening)

Congratulations on the color. You now have about 21 days of happiness. I hope you like washing your car. This color gets dirty even when the car is in garage.

I noticed. 2 weeks I've had it. Washed 4 times. :)
