Nothing like jacking up the car to swap rear bushings...

And being reminded that Fiat equipped the Tipo Sedicivalvole with a rear suspension system that’s got nothing to do with the one found in the Tipo 1.6. Why they even bothered to call the Sedici a Tipo at this point is beyond me. Even better is how you can’t find the correct bushings in Brazil anymore.

Man, I’d hate to learn italian as an auto enthusiast. I bet half those neat names and surnames don’t sound as fun when you know what they mean.

“Hey look everyone, I just brought a...a four door. That’s what that name means in our language. The Maserati Four Door. Well then. That’s neat. I guess.”

Haha, so true. Portuguese has a somewhat neutral accent, so it’s not hard to say Sedicivalvole the right way, but it’s very awkward to listen to it because it’s still radically different as to how we’d say it in portuguese.

But yeah, Sedicivalvole, Quattrovalvole, Quadrifoglio, Quattroporte, Alleggerita, Superleggera... They’re actually longer than the car names they’re attached to.
