Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

bad boys with purses, I guess. what self-respecting, blue-blooded American male would even think about buying one of these POS?

The 500S maybe not, but the 500 Abarth? That one's like an angry half-Hellcat. A beautiful, fast little car that, much like a beautiful Italian woman, is going to leave you dead in a ditch, upside-down and on fire, with a smile on your face.

The 500 is SO fun to drive, angry half-Hellcat indeed. Corners as if there were stickem' on the tires. Bad Girls drive Fiats too.

I had a girl "friend" years ago who took her high heels to the hood of my brand new 72 Volvo. Soon thereafter I escaped from that horror show. Guess I was a bad boy back then.

Is that a variation of "when a girl likes you?"

She flips her hair.

She smiles at you.

She keys your car.

She kills you.

I remember back when, that showing up in a Fiat was almost as bad as showing up in a Rambler. Of coarse the Rambler was a much better car, build wise, but whoa, kiss of death for "Cool".

Sweet. Last years model! I guess they didn't sell well enough to make a 2017?

I had a Fiat Spyder 1600 many years ago. It was in terrible shape, but still a beautiful convertible. That wasn't for good boys.

That phrase fits ALL Italian cars! Even the top end ones.

Or should I say most notably, the top end ones!

Jesus, my motorcycle, a Honda 1000, has more power than that thing.

Do they make a pickup? I've only bought pickups since '89. Roomy and easy on the maintenance.
