Kind of but not anymore. That's why I sold the RS, only used it around cooler days. I don't miss it at all. You know any reputable wheel repair guys? I have one wheel that the clear cote came off next to the wheel nuts. I can fix it myself but I have no time.

Unfortunately, I think the same thing will happen with whatever I have. On another note, I leased a 2013 740i in September and it hasn't left the garage, I think it has 600 miles on it. I keep driving the Fiat. What does this all mean? Not really sure... any psychiatrists around...
I'd say take the TT for an overnight or two road trip, and see if you feel differently. I will sometimes consider purchasing an old english roadster for restoration, then I remember why I sold my Triumph 25 years ago...

How about simply 'too many cars'? There is a limit as to how much you can drive in a year. The FIAT? Well thats a very nicely designed basic little car. it's got great design cues in it and drives quite nice. Is it a TT? Well no but it will give you some joy at low speeds. The problem I'm having wi the TT is goes very fast and there are fewer and fewer places to drive it without getting pulled over. I've got my eyes on something basic, more visceral and lots of fun at low speeds.

sounds to me you like driving short wheel base performers and not plush GTs or vintage Pcars.
more Mini Cooper Works, maybe Evora or new 981 Boxster S/Cayman S.
But in your neck of the woods I can see the expectation to be in the latest and greatest attention getter.
p.s.
Do they still have the "call me a cab" drink at Wet *******? Things you only do in FL..

I can understand driving the Abarth. I have one and it is a blast to drive. Got it a few years before my daughter gets her driving permit. It will be her car.
Back to your dilemma...seems you need to go back to a drivers car. Something that puts a smile and makes you work a little for it....I think that is why you are enjoying the Abarth. The idea of going back to a 993 or a 964 might be the correct approach. Or what about one of those Singer Porsche cars?
