We need a "day"

Post by SunnySideUp »

Here's something Miatas, MGs, Triumphs, and Alfas don't have (yet)....

I am sure you have seen those calendars that show that "Today is National [insert item] Day!" I am proposing that we have a National Fiat Spider Day. This would include any Fiat Spider designation - 850, 124, 2000, Dino, etc. The question is which day should it be? Should it be the day that the Spider debuted in 1967? The day it first rolled onto the shores here in the US?

I'll volunteer to submit the info - I just need your input.

I would pick a day in spring or fall where everybody has good enough weather to get their cars out. Avoid days where their would be conflicts with another holiday.

I say coincide it with National Go Topless Day, It makes a symbolic play on words. :)

Does this mean we also all get a day off work?
My two cents ain't worth what it used to be

Should be some time in the spring. It would be nice if it coincided with some significant Fiat date.
