Old Fiat vs. New Fiat

good evening, had a super cool morning session today. woke up, saw some little waves, saw the crowd everywhere so drove to my secret spot and guess what? nobody!!! i surfed all alone on a sunny summer sunday! score! it felt good and i’m thinking of going there again tomorrow morning. got to texts from friends in japan saying there is a new typhoon? really? wow, i guess i better get my ticket! going surfing!
spent a few days looking around for a car. there are so many new cars out there that i’m getting sidetracked. i know what i want, but when i see something new or old, i want it all! haha.

take this classic fiat for example. if this was for sale, i would have bought it, put some surf racks on it, and this would be my new ride.

they did a great job restoring this car out of the 70’s.

i miss the simple things about cars. easy to understand, and easy to fix. now days, the cars electronic system is smarter than people. scary.

i’ve been hearing a lot about the new fiats. i never paid too much attention to it because fiats are from italy and if it breaks, good luck in getting parts. but guess what? the new fiats are made by chrysler in america!!!! so i took one for a test drive and liked it. compared to a mini cooper? cheaper and feels like more space in the inside. you can get a brand new one for $17,000.
