A Fiat BTM is like "I can't believe it's not Butter."

So, what the heck is it?

Search engines all return today's stories, ha.

Jerry's got some 'splainin' to do....

I'm in the market for a Fiat 500. I would prefer an early car. If anyone knows of any nice ones for sale let me know.

If you are serious about it, here is a link. They run anywhere from $13K to $23K depending on year, mileage and condition.

Here is a nice 67 on ebay for about $14K

They are rear engined. Maybe that's why Seinfeld likes them so much...

I'm still wondering how he looked at his stable of P-cars trying to decide what to drive that day and said "I think I'll take the Fiat"

Actually he is probably a lot like Jay Leno (and many of us) in that he appreciates all sorts of cars. I'm guessing the Fiat was chosen for it's simplicity.

I thought those were called Topolino's.

Anyway, if you're serious about the car, be sure to check out the, uh, brakes.

LOL...that's correct. They are called Topolino's. My sister in law had one in Milan. 2 cylinder, rear engine, air/oil cooled, light and nimble liitle cars. That's about were the similarity ends.

In the very back of my mind, there's a little voice yelling 'a BTM is a Fiat Dino hardtop'. I know I've come across it, but it's all terribly vague.

I think you're right. It has to be a Fiat Dino of some sort. Or maybe he liked the 67 Fiat 500 so much after watching Luigi in the movie CARS and got one for his collection.

The best news is that nobody was hurt badly except the Fiat.

The second best news is that it was not a Porsche that was hurt.
