How far is Hurst, Texas from where you live, Bobby? I really like the color of the interior, it looks so inviting! The exterior is alright, though I'm not a fan of white. What does "500C" mean? Is that just a Dodge thing, just like the Chrysler 300C? I really like the tach being inside the speedometer! How much was your tripod? I got a tripod from Wal-Mart, about the same height, for $37, and it comes with a nice carry case that looks like a golf bag. Handy for transporting it on the bus.

@talldude123 Hurst is maybe a 15 minute drive for me, depending on the route I take to get there. I got the tripod from my sister (although she still uses it from time to time).

About the car though, 500C is just a shortened version of saying 500 Cabriolet. The name has no relation to the Chrysler/ Dodge brand.

This is my dream car and I' m in love with it

This is the best small car you can find.

The gas mileage is not that good.27 city./37 highway for a 1.4 is kind off bad gas for such a little car

eww, that key reminder beeper is annoying and sounds old fashioned.  :(

Fiat should be ashamed and embarrassed at those hp and mpg ratings, especially since it runs on premium only. My junker cobalt with a much bigger engine, much higher hp and torque ratings, and regular fuel requirement gets 6-8 mpg more than this car....better luck next time fiat.

I love that top! So cool for cruising around the city! I am not as excited about the 0-60 time or the piddly 98 ft-lb torque. The styling is pretty unique. At least it's got some personality amid a sea of generic econoboxes. I'd get stick shift, if I can't go fast at least I can have some fun going slow. They should put an arm rest on the passenger seat too methink.
