We decided to take a long ride in the Fiat.Mid 50 degree weather early,and off we went to the Cherohalaa Skyway.For those who dont know,this is a awesome road in the Western Carolina mtns.,near our home. http://www.cherohala.com/ After poking thru some antique stores and a museum,we headed up the Cherohala.This is a destination for bike,sports cars,and clubs nationwide.Imagine my surprise when there wasnt a car in front of us across the entire ride!!!We ripped through all the twist and turns like it was a private road.The car,of course,perfomed flawlessly.Stopped for gas in Robbinsville NC,and created a stir in the parking lot.There were a group of bikes and GTI's that had just come off the Dragon and they had a fit over the Fiat.One kid(sport biker 
) said" Wow,that thing must be worth a fortune!"I didnt tell him different,in case his parents were loaded.They had a pro photographer with them and asked to shoot pics of the Spider.Pretty cool.After a lunch,we headed back out of town.I was tellingb Rose about a guy I stopped and helped on the way to Road Atlanta last year.I went and got him gas for his Porsche 356 Outlaw.A freaking incredible car.He told me where his resto shop was,and that he had always had Fiats.I found his shop and pulled in.He remembered me immediately ,and after looking at a couple Fiats he was making into one nice one,we went inside his shop.The first thing I see is two 300SL Gullwings in different states of restoration.Holy S#*t!!!! Then a Aston Martin Zagato.Then various 50's era Mercedes coupes and convertibles.Another 356!!! I found heaven.Bear in mind,this is in the mountains,near no city whatsoever.This man does complete restos on some of the most expensive,iconic cars in the world in the middle of nowhere in a glorified barn.My wife said"You were like a little kid in there"
Unreal day!!!!!!!
