    Abarth is wife's new car. Traded in her busted down 05 MCSa. Abarth wasn't even on our radar until after we left MAG last Saturday and happened by Crown Fiat. Started looking into it and fell in love.

    Thanks Nick for putting together today's run with the spouses (and tiny dog). Lots of fun driving, pretty scenery, and good company.

    Hard driving on rte 555 tasked the all season 16's, but otherwise a very fun car. The selectable automatic was fun, with throttle blip on downshifts in sport mode. Nice pops and burbling sounds from exhaust. We like it a lot.

    Nice Abarth you have there. I really like those cars, they are a fun ride. Dark Abarth is in the hood. :cool:

    Sorry to have missed the drive Nick. You had a great day for it.

    Abarth sounds intoxicating when your following through the twisty roads. Kind of like a Ferrari...

    The Abarth has one of the sweetest sounding exhausts out there. It has no muffler, just the cat.

    I actually did not know that -- no muffler. Interesting.

    You should bring it to the next donut munch so we can get powder sugar fingerprints all over it!

    We had a great drive. HH was packed even more than I expected. There were 2 weddings going on at Ash Cave.
