Great video. His description of how he feels when driving the car is outstanding and explains in some degree why some of us love the Spider.
Buon giro a tutti! - enjoy the ride!

I absolutely love them. Some of them are in Italian, I sent those to a friend who teaches Italian, I think car-guy students would love them.

Re: Petrolicious You-Tube Videos are Great
wow great video well done.
For me it was a little scary when he spoke of the laws limiting the times and places he is allowed to drive a car that doesn't meet current emission standards. Then he mentioned those special fees. I am afraid this might happen here in the USA.
I probably calculated his cost of fuel/mile wrong but I think it might have cost him close to 80 cents/mile just for the gas. My Mercury Montego averages better than 25m/g highway and costs less 16 cents/ mile for gas. If it got 15m/g at $4 /gallon I think it would cost about 26 cents/mile.
I think, for now, we still have it pretty good in the USA when it comes to gasoline pricing.

Re: Petrolicious You-Tube Videos are Great
Well, with the weak dollar and the generally high fuel prices in Italy, it's now about 9 USD per US gallon there.
