Default New car, not a Porsche...

I bought a Prima Edizione last year when they were released. It was cool but was one of the slowest cars I've ever owned. A few months ago I ordered an Abarth and it was delivered to me last night. Definetly a quick and fun little car. The exhaust note is awesome at idle and at speed. Here are some pictures.

I stick up for you sometimes. Not this time, though.

I am having trouble keeping up with all your car additions. Best of luck with that sweet Fiat.

Definitely the best of the 500 line. My father wants a 500, and I'm trying to convince him to go for the Abarth.

I'm out of he office right now but I'll post some more photos later. It's very quick for such a small engine. The turbo makes it fun! If QC hates it then I love it...

Here's a link to some more photos for now:

Welcome to the club!

These cars are sweet. I saw an incredible grey over red in Florence a couple of years ago with all the Scorpion logo's on it that had me by the strings for sure ..

... but ... Mark D let me drive his/your ex Cinquecento a few weeks ago .. are you SURE your other 500 was the slowest car you've ever owned I also couldn't wipe the ear-to-ear grin off my face for the rest of the afternoon either .
