I’ve been having car trouble lately, so I’ve started looking into getting a new one in the next year or so. While I’d love another Volkswagen, since they are my favorite, I’m kind of interested in trying something new. I love anything small and Euro with some great design details. Good gas mileage and good handling are also a must. Given that, I’m pretty much in love with the Fiat 500 Abarth. It’s compact, sleek, sporty and modern–and not too expensive, either. Reno is getting a Fiat dealership soon so I’m hoping to go test drive one.

Somehow this car has a way of looking really cute and also pretty badass.

I’ve got automobiles on the brain since I’m going to a car show tomorrow with my brother and boyfriend. Andrew has worked on classic cars since he was a little kid, and has several of his cars entered into the show tomorrow. One of his cars just got second place at Hot August Nights in Reno which is a pretty big deal! I’ll take some photos tomorrow at the show.
