RE: driving etiquette


There was a Fiat dealer across the street from my high school.
They had 128 sedans and wagons, 124 two door, four door and 
wagons, as well as the popular spiders. Just before bailing
on the US, they had the 131 sedans as well and a couple of
ones I can't remember the designations of. Cool cars, but
with shim type valve adjusting, not something for the average
garage mechanic to tackle. 

Jeff '67 Sqbk, who wanted a Sqbk first, but settled for the
128 two door, until a 'mechanic' "fixed" with the transmission
and it had to go. I lucked into my Sqbk at a dealer. It was a
trade-in with popping heads, they didn't really want to mess
with it, so I got it for $550, in 1978.

I thought only the "plentiful" spyder 124 and the 131 sedan sold in the US.
