Default Pictures of my car with Shorki's tips, along with some shots of father-in-laws cars.

Freshly washed.... the tips really add a lot to the look, tie in nicely with the chrome Audi rings! (Shorki's da'man!)

Side profile looks good I think, stick out a little, but not to far... (opinions?)

In the previous picture you can see my father-in-laws two cars, plus the mother-in-laws toyota celica, sorry no photos of that beast. He has a '00 Eclipse GT, loaded to the hilt - lots of fun, plus a '85 Fiat Bertone (sp?), for all you European car lovers out there...

Default where do you get the fiat serviced?

I take it that it's one of those "fix it yourself" kinda cars ;-)

Default Re:

For the most part, yes, fix it yourself. He does have one garage he's gone to that specializes in these types of cars, as Fiat's are very similar to another well known brand (bonus points to the person who guess's)

But, there is a special catalog that has just about every part, and the prices are reasonable. It's not the fastest or best handling car out there, but I tell ya, for a 1985 car, it's a cruiser! Neat'ol car, I love driving it! (rear mounted engine, rear wheel drive 5 spd btw)

Default Bonus answer..

Ferrari (Since Fiat owns Ferrari). Although they're also very similar to Alfa Romeo since they're both known as a "poor-mans Ferrari."

Default Woohoo! :)

I grew up in a house full of Alfa Romeo's (a GTV, a Spider, a Montreal, and a Sprint Voloce) and there were alway's a lot of Fiat's at the Alfa Romeo events my dad and I went to. You can't help but to learn the Fiat/Ferrari/Alfa Romeo history in that situation
