    Dream cars

    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
    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...

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

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

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

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

    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

    As long as we're in dreamland...

    It's your V-8...but four more.

    "It goes to 12"...

    And it appears to come with rock sliders...

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