   I remember people complaining about them but they were never the owners.  :)   
      
   Those old Fiat designs weren't bad - I went to high school in sunny California   
   where rust wasn't a problem, and there were a bunch of Fiat 128 coupes, sports,   
   and X1/9s around. It seemed like the electrics were more of a problem than the   
   engines.   
      
   I'd always liked boxy, fast cars -- wanted to get a Fiat 128, put an air dam on   
   it, throw a weber carb on it, campagnolo mags, stickier tires... but I was in a   
   school full of Camaros and Chevelles.   
      
   Back then, I had a Fiat 850 Spyder - convertible, rear-engine 903cc pushrod 4   
   cylinder. 0-60 in 18.9 seconds.
