After spending an eternity getting fixed hibernating, my little bastard finally made its local car show scene debut yesterday. Please enjoy these potato pics.

It was in fine company! What were people saying? :)
Also, I am sure there is some sort of story behind it, but why is the rear lid white by the way? :O

The comments were varied! Most mentioned its size/cuteness/etc, lots talked about the rarity, and a handful knew exactly what it was, including the Italian guy who owns that 500 Abarth next to the Viper. Lots of interest in the specs t o o , though that’s probably expected given the setting.
The rear lid and frunk are white because I had it painted in police colors! Behold:

Some of my earliest memories are from one of those - maroon Fio that my grandpa had. We’d attach a trailer to it and drive from our little city to my grandpas ancestral village and pick up two 55 gallon drums full of plums so grandpa could make Šljivovica at home. I was playing with the car once and I dropped the parking brake and pressed the clutch and rolled the car into my great grandmas house. Good thing House was there as we were in top of a hill.
Then my dad bought one. I remember going rob Ulcinj, Montenegro to camp - all our gear on the roof rack, and me sleeping in the back - they put stuff behind the seats and made me a little bed in the back. We stopped somewhere in Montenegro for my dad to nap for a few, and I remember us driving away in the middle of the night as my dad woke up thinking he heard a bear.
Then the memories stopped - dad crashed the car and gypsies from the neighborhood where he crashed stole everything lose from the car while he went for help. We had one of those military issued shovel/ax kits and they stole that too...
Where are you from?

B e l g r a d e ! While I didn’t have any direct family members who owned a Fia, we still have some stories (because who doesn’t)...
When my mom was young, her and six of her friends, all tall people, needed to get from one party to the next. So they all piled into the Fia one of them owned – two people in the front seat, four in the back, plus the driver. It took a while to snake the bottomed-out car around every pothole of the 30km journey, but they made it
without issue.
My dad, not a small dude himself, did his driving test in one of these, with two equally huge police officers in the car with him... Having also done his driver training in one, he figured out it was way easier to insert the key and start the car reaching through the steering wheel itself, instead of reaching around. It’s a trick I now use every time I drive mine...
W h e n e v e r m y g r a n d m a t a l k s a b out the countless drives to t he M o ntenegro coast almost all of Yugoslavia used to make, she a l w a y s m e n t i o n s t h e F i a s , p a c k e d w i t h people, a full roof rack, and a t w o - b y - f o u r p r o p p i n g t h e h o o d o p e n , s o t h e y d o n ’ t o v e r h e a t .

I had an abarth 500 for a while and I want one again, partly because I grew up with these. Amazing cars for a developing country.
