tithoniumI want to buy an iPod. But, instead of doing that, I moved all my spare money into my savings account. We (read 'I') now have about $900 saved up for the hot tub enclosure. I need about $6000 to pay it off completely, and if I finance it, I'd like it to be for as litttle as possible (given we're still paying on the windows, and loree's got a car payment now, and etc etc etc).
And then, somebody on the for-sale list at work is offering a Fiat. I don't need another car, I have better things to spend money on, but it's a FIAT. Most of you may not understand what this means. Those of you who do, I trust you understand the pain that comes with not buying a Fiat that is suddenly available, in working condition, and cheap.
Anybody want to make a substantive donation to the gazebo fund?

Date: 2004-09-29 11:11 pm (UTC)My oldest brother had one when I was too young to drive, and it is probably one of the reasons I like really small sports cars (I'm currently lusting after the Lotus Elise).
Pluses (I'm not claiming expertise, any or all of this info could be wrong)
Small, good handling, decent acceleration, a really good choice for autocrossing/track days/weekend drives
minus
You should probably buy 3 (one to drive, 2 for parts) and start sleeping with a mechanic. low top speed
What year and how much did they want for it?
