Your Day Job:

A truck driver's job is very important no matter how it is worded! Someone has to get stuff to where it has to go...thank goodness there are guys like you who do it!!

I’m a retired fiat shop owner. For 20 years I repaired fiats and sold fiat parts, owned my own fiat junkyard. About 5 years ago the wife wanted to move to Florida, so guess what! I’m in Florida now. Today I own a police rotation towing company in the Orlando area, we service most all motor clubs and of course the local sheriffs office.

I still have 10 fiats/lancias. I cannot break the habit. I’m currently pondering opening up a repair shop in the local area.

I'm a career fire fighter and have been for 11 years. I've loved just about every minute of it.

I'm also a credentialed sommelier. Yes, a wine expert. Food and wine is a passion of mine and the side I do food and wine pairing for local independently owned restaurants.

My goal is to always love what I do and always do what I love. Getting paid is just a lucrative perk.

I have been working in IT for a little over ten years. I've been working for a large internet search company here in The Dalles for over five. After working with and repairing computers all day, it's nice to have a car without a computer to tinker with

[TronDD]

I am the same way. I work with computers all day and I love it but I have no desire for them in my car. A car is a machine, if something can be solved mechanically, that's how it should be.

I am food scientist and I'm currently a corporate Quality Manager at a large food company. I've also worked in product development/technical services. The product types I've worked with include chocolates, baked goods, canned people food and canned pet food. I can almost guarantee you have eaten something I have worked on over the years. If you watch "Good Eats" on the Food Network you will kind of understand how I think.

Love food, Love to figure out how things work. Really love to drive my Fiat as much as possibly possible!

[Gunsmith]

canned people food !

So is that like "Soylent Green"?

[Spiddy]

I am employed by Her Majesty's Government. Having signed The Official Secrets Act, I can't tell you what I do. Actually, I could, but of course, I'd have to shoot you afterwards.

I'm a Scientist for Hamilton Thorne, a biotech company located in Beverly Massachusetts. I'm also a graduate student at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. I've been quite happily married for 10+ years and have 2 children (8 and 9yo). I only lately began to become interested in cars again and have been fixated on these little Fiats. I'm still looking; Hope to buy a spider soon!

I was in nurse anesthesia for 38 years. Now my prime function is to co-exist peacefully with my wife, walk my golden retriever Packer, and putz around with my 3 acres of maples. Oh yeah, and now that I just purchased an '82 spider, I might practice banging my head against the wall in between admiring, working on, and driving that little beauty. Ed

This is interesting other than a bricklayer,retail sales person,truckdriver,and nurse I can only asume since the rest of you own run or are in charge of not a small but world wide (IT) (MANUFACTURNIG) companys you park your fiats in the driveway for the neibors to use and take the Bugatti to work. I love working with my 16 year old boy keeping his 1972 850 spyder going to and from school. Teachers and students think its a mini repla car of a corvett.So far only one older teacher knew what it was because his sister owned one in collage.Matt has all the kids beleving its a 200mph prototype for Honda.Having a ball with boy and fiat hope it stops raning soon here in central pa.I have been in retail sales 25 years and Matt worked this summer in a salvage yard to help pay car insurance. 16 year old male with 40 year old sports car MY AGENT IS ODERNING HER YELLOW BUGATTI TODAY.Have fun every one if your kids dont have time for you or you dont have time for them go by an old sports car a set of tools gas grill hotdogs invite old timer next door and you will have summers to remember the rest of your life.
