[Spridgets] Fiat 500

[Dave KK7SS]

Went to my local Chrysler dealer a few weeks ago to check on a 500 Abarth,
1) First I had to convince them it was not obsolete and was in current production
2) then I had to convince them that it was going to be sold in the USA
3) When I told them that Chrysler was going to be the distributor there was a little discussion before...
4) they said was that only a few dealers in "major" cities would be getting them.. and not around here !!
5) And, No, they did not have any info on it.... I already knew more than they did!
6) I went home and washed the Midget!!

After going to the Chicago Auto Show, my wife has demanded that one of the LBCs go so we can get a Fiat 500. I don't know if the Abarth is coming out right away, but I may have to comply. There would still be 3 LBCs left. It is unusual for her to have such a reaction, but it is a helluva cute car, and it's only 11.5 feet long, so it won't screw up the garage arrangement much with only 2 inches of extra car vs. the Sprites.
