Never worn it brackie1, it's is s a little yellowed in spots for show. But you know I just had to have it.
I tried it on once (I am almost 6', 170lbs), It was pulling up on my crotch real bad, kinda like an atomic Ricambi wedgie :(
Figure it was made for a short Italian.

You take a vacation in CABO, and email your incredibly talented auto body specialist about your extremely shiny car back up in Washington, while relaxing in a beach cabana!!

When the red lights seem sooooo long . . . as you keep a nervous eye on the temp gauge.

You've only stopped at a red light once? I try to stop at all of them.

Which leads to another:

You know you own a Fiat when you down shift to stop the car because you're never really sure the brakes are going to do it (of course maybe that only applies to Fiats that I've done the brakes on).

...start reading this section, see how many pages there are, say "just one more page," and get to the end realizing you haven't stopped smiling and couldn't be happier with another car.

addendum: ... and then think...now what is burning my Magnaflow cat. converter one month after replacing the last one? Is is A. Injector mixture (don't think so, since smog was good), B. back flow from non-stock muffler or C. external heat that I should shield cat from? My guess is C...since also have hot wife...I mean passenger feet... and will put in insulation.
