My husband drives a Fiat. The man is all about gas mileage. Small wonder as he commutes 35 miles each way to work. That comes out to 350 miles per week! He used to drive a Geo Metro. It got about 40 mpg. He loved that car and wouldn't give it up despite pleas from the whole family. He drove it for some 250,000 miles until the frame cracked and he had no choice but to replace it. Still, he knew the Metro's days were numbered, so he'd been looking around. He'd had his eye on Fiat for a while. He was eager for the 500 to be sold in the U.S. Then came the Jennifer Lopez commercial. That put him off for a while. Plus our son kept telling him the Fiat is a "girl car." But eventually he came back around to Fiat. Good mileage, low price -- those are the siren songs for my husband when it comes to car buying. This week he finally got his little Fiat. He couldn't be more pleased.

Cute! I love the shot of your front yard too- so springy!
ReplyDeleteNothing happier than a man in a new car!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe your forsythias are in bloom. I'm so jealous!
About the squares...if you just say it's for charity there should be no problem. Thanks so much! I can't wait to see them!
That is a cute little car. Boys and their cars & trucks! But good gas mileage is very important. We both drive about 25 miles or so to work so I understand. And I filled up two days ago and since then, the gas price has went up 25 cents! What's with that?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great little car! Boys are funny...my kiddo is already drooling over sports cars and fancy cars. I guess that's just the way it goes. Your yard is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the Fiat but then, I'm a girl! What a great little car to do all that commuting and I bet you'll love it (if he lets you drive it) because it will be so easy to park! xx
ReplyDeleteHehe it's so cute. I mean....uh...really manly.
ReplyDeleteIt really is cute, but I am so focused on your pretty yard :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks so small...hmmm, if I get one I would "have" to leave the kids at home. :~D

That's a cute car!
ReplyDeleteI love these cars! I don't see many of them here in Southern California but they are very popular in Europe and I saw so many a couple of summers ago in England. It's all about the gas mileage with my husband too ~ great minds!
ReplyDeleteOh it is just adorable. So cute and the gas mileage is wonderful. Enjoy the ride!
ReplyDeleteSweet ride! I would love to have one for myself then it would be the ol' lady's car! :0)
ReplyDeleteGreat little car! Maggie xx
ReplyDeleteYour yard is already so full of beautiful spring flowers. I'm very jealous. I had no idea the Fiat was so cool looking on the inside. It's very modern and vintage. I love it!
ReplyDeleteWow, hope he's a safe driver in that little car! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Mary Alice

ReplyDeleteIt's so cute, I love it!! :) I'm glad he's happy, new cars are fun. :)
