While watching a ahow on tv I found my dream car that I would love to park in the garage next to the VX...1953 fiat 8v supersonic (http://www.coachbuild.com/index.php?option=com_gallery2&Itemid=50&g2_itemId=15360)
Then after a little research I found that they are saling at auctions for $1,000,000+ and thus it is in the "dream" catagory.

It was later discovered, that 8 was the maximum number of vehicles that they could keep running at once...:laughing:

If I could afford the million plus price tag I am sure I'd be able to afford mr. Fiat as a personal mechanic!:yesy:

It's not really a Fiat. It's a Fiat racing chassis with Ghia coachwork.
It's still way cool.

I used to have dream car lists... for some reason I can't remember any of them really. Was always stuffed with old mustangs like boss's and Mach 1's. Now I don't really lust after much like that. I'm a little dissapointed in myself for it too! I'll have to rekindle that old flame!

And STILL only be able to drive it 1 day a week...:rotate:

IF it's able to produce spark & atomized propellant gas at the proper time...:laughing:

Note to Fiat:
1 intake
2 compression
3 ignition
4 exhaust...:_wrench:

Funny, I had a dream last night I was toting around in one of these. I was sad when I woke up and there was only a Subaru in my driveway and not the F40. :(

I agree with Ldub fiat is only known for falling apart, starting on fire, rusting to the ground, or having random rubber band like parts snapping. I'd personally jump on a very rare early 70's porsche 917 la mans if I were dropping a mill on a crazy play thing.

It was decided they needed to build si that any given time one would be actually running. Guaranteed you have 8 Fiats they will not all be running at any given time

The Lambo Aventador has been engraved in my mind for some time now. I SERIOUSLY need Skyrim to sell billions and billions so my bonus can hook me up, haha. SECKS!

Speaking of Local Motors, on the day when I have to say goodbye to my VX, I hope it's because I have one of these:
