Re: You know you own a FIAT when . . .
My favorite ones so far is about taking a complete tool set with you just to go on a drive and always looking at your temp gauge (I have my wife keep me posted on the temp when she rides along)
Here are a some of mine:
...you have to go to the auto parts store 3 times in an afternoon for new bolts
... the sending unit works for a couple of weeks with no issues then stops working. Then as you go over some railroad tracks to the parts store, presto it works again.
... your wife says "lets go for a drive" and you tell her "sure just give me a few minutes to put him back together"
... you voulenteer to run to the store (which is 15 miles away)
... you pounder all day to come up with something witty to say on fiatspider.com
