Running good!

Excellent - those lawnmowers that were built in a shed/old bunker outside Berlin are certainly tough.

Congrats - just hit 128k myself this week.

Hitting the autoshows the next couple of months to see what's next for me on the horizon. I'm thinking Mini Roadster, BMW 1 series (used), or Fiat 500 (the higher hp version) - I need to get back into a much smaller car but still have it be fun.

Are you going to run it til it can run no more?

samaritrey

and i am happy with 141k i need to catch up

SeaCoupe

Fiat 500. Cute looking car, the interior has way more room than you would expect.

The high hp version is an Abarth?

I saw this car in So Cal some time back. http://www.littlefiatbigadventure.co...enture2008.htm

Super cool car. I'd post up the pics of me in the car, but it was back in my fat phase. eerrrhmpf, I'm down some 25 lbs since then, and don't care to look at those pics.

Any case here is another blog to check out.

Nice! We got quite a good handful of high mile w203s out there

Im personally hittin 120k w/in the coming weeks.

tommy

Yep!! There's one at the Detroit show now - mmm!

That and the Alfa Mito were my favorites from this past fall's drive from Austria to Trieste to Venice. Also saw the new Scirrocco, too.

Thanks for the links, Ed! Looks like a winner, assuming the old Fiat quality control nightmares aren't still around.

omg its nate

Congrats, I hit 40k a few months ago. (I don't drive it in the winter)

Taiwanese

47,314 miles as of now.

Quality is going to be established on a new basis. But coming from a guy that currently has a Fiat X1/9, I'd say that the car is unique enough that some occasional hiccups are forgiveable.

There are also in place parts providers who are sure to get into the aftermarket parts specific to the 500 as well.

Midwest
Vicks Autosports

So, I'd say give it some serious consideration.

C280 Sport

Hell I only got 57,000 miles on my 2005 C240 4Matic.

Congratulations.

Just about ripped my front bumper off from a tree root.
Thought about taking it the insurance company but
a. 500 deductible.
b. 750 I gotta report to the DMV and
c. I was able to fix it myself, but it doesn't quite line up perfectly.

I glued a piece of tin to the bumper where the plastic hole got torn,
and was able to screw it all back together.

Did you check the car-part.com web site. sometimes you can find some cheap prices over there , if you are lucky you might even find a bumper cover the same color as yours.
