Something About It

I need a new car. I’ve been looking at a bunch of different cars and have decided I want something small. My wife suggested this one to me and at first I basically laughed it off. Then I started looking at them a little closer and somehow I have started to really love the idea of driving one of these weird little cars around haha. I’m still not sure what I’m going to do, but what do you guys think? FYI: We have an SUV for family stuff.

Thanks for stopping by, Rob

  1. We’ve seen a handful on the roads, mostly Mini-Coopers. They’re terribly not big. Probably ideal for that milk run you were on ๐Ÿ˜ That old, abandoned car showing up on Reader, now that’s your car. The cost to refurbish the old car is probably equal to a new Mini. For sure you won’t go unnoticed, LOL. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    • LOL oh ya that old car would’ve been great! And yes, this would be just perfect for the ol milk run haha. I actually used to have a mini about 10 years ago. That car was super fun! I really have no idea what I’m doing about the car, but we’ll see. ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. I like the “vibe” of the Fiat, but worry about its mechanical reliability. I have mostly driven Toyotas over the last 40+ years and now drive a KIA. Looks matter, but I worry more about reliability, because I tend to hold onto my cars for a long time–I have had my KIA for almost 13 years.

    • Yes I hear you about the reliability thing. We used to have a Kia before too, it was a Soul 4U. It was a good car. I don’t know how long I’ll have this car for. I don’t think I’ve ever had a car for longer than 3 years, but I hope to have my next one for longer. I guess we’ll see haha.

      • Mike is right about reliability and durability, especially when you have a car running the way you want it to run. My dad’s Expedition is 12 years old, which is very old as large SUVs go. He also has 1974 Ford Pinto which turns 50 later this year, at least according to the manufacturing decal inside the driver’s door. It still runs but likely will need an engine overhaul. What makes it cool is that its real value is between $3-10K as a collector item. Being a one-owner car, the value is closer to $10K. Classic Pintos that have been restored sell for around $30K+ at auction.
