I was driving to campus today (in Golden, CO) and saw a white Fiat 500 Abarth with a Colorado-flag patterned Oppo sticker! Who is it?

1970 Abarth 695 for you and a 695 esseesse from my trip to Florence.

I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for you. I work on that side of town. Don’t have my Fiat anymore though, I succumbed to the lure of teh beige and have a Kia Optima now. How do you like yours?

You were going to be my first guess

How do you like the Abarth? My friend wants to get one this year

I love it. So far it’s been pretty solid. I only wish I had something else when I want to go mountain biking...I can fit my bike in it, but it's not comfy.

You can cheat, you know what stickers we all have! I love the Fiat, but I'll admit that I didn't even test either fun Ford because I hate the radios so much.

There’s actually six people with the Colorado stickers, so I couldn’t have said it was you with 100% certainty.

How’s the car for reliability and maintenance? Anything to watch out for?

I'm at 40K miles and no mechanical issues so far (knock on wood). Every so often the hatch won't unlock and the clock can't keep time. I haven't noticed anything else I'd feel the need to warn anyone about.

Wow, how many Colorado Abarth people do we have here? Also, very, very intrigued by the Colorado Oppo sticker - any photos, or links where to buy one?

For the record, I grew up in two Zastava 750's, which are basically FIAT 600's, now I have a 2014 Abarth Convertible GQ.

Yup - same location as my Oppo sticker! I love those Abarths, nice choice :)

Where do you normally ride?

I'll keep an eye out for yours! I hope I wasn't driving like an idiot, I was running late for rehearsal.

Not at all, I wouldn’t have guessed you were late for anything!

I prefer the Buffalo Creek area if I have time. Used to ride Green Mountain quite a bit since my office was next to it but I haven't been there lately.

I ride Green Mountain all the time, I live right at the base on the Golden side. Haven’t been to Buffalo Creek yet, but hopefully once school allows me some free time I’ll go ride it.
