Happy weekend Nor Cal FTE and friends. Excellent weather down here. Come on down Gerry and enjoy it with us.

I love these browser ads. I inquired about a Fiat 500 Abarth at the Fiat site, now every other ad on my screen is about the Fiat 500. LOL

Just for the heck of it, I checked the Dodge website to look at their Dart that they have come out with, and it has the same exact engine as the Fiat 500 Abarth, but with only one intercooler. Interesting enough it produces the same hp, but has 9 more foot pounds of torque. The Dart is cheaper, has 4 doors, and a real back seat (well, compared to the 500 anyway.) However, I am leaning more towards the Abarth because it is lighter, and looks cuter. LOL. Not too mention if Jay Leno can do a burnout in one, then I just have to have it. I am looking at getting the Abarth when my settlement gets here, use that as a daily driver since it gets 28/34 mpg compared to the Bronco's 10/15 mpg.

Browser ads on FTE, but also whenever I am surfing the web. Now that I looked at the Dodge site, they are showing me Dodge ads instead of Fiat 500 ads. LOL

I did not know this until yesterday, but Fiat owns 60% (58.9 actually) of Chrysler. That explains why the Dart uses the Fiat engine. I knew they owned Ferrari, but did not know they owned Chrysler. They also own Maserati, Alpha Romeo, and Lancia, and are partners with Tata, and Mazda.

Yeeep. Fiat bought that claim in Chrysler back in 08 or 09 during the bail out. That's part of the reason their truck line is now "Ram" on all the labeling and not "Dodge." Trying to distance it from Fiat I think
