I am famous for being a party pooper, but I'm especially good with all kinds of boats.

I've been on a few, including the big Cat ferry from Maine to Nova Scotia. Yes, it's nice, but it's just a big floating parking garage

As a kid, I took the Cat ferry from Maine to Nova Scotia and it was cool, but not like to the level where he was fascinated by a floating parking garage🤣

To someone who basically knows nothing outside of small town life and deeply fears the wider world, it is WILD.

Yes, they are functionally cool. But enough to sustain a 20 minute (I am absolutely not kidding) about how he drove on and off?

Listening to a coworker openly MARVELING at the memory of taking a car ferry like it's the most incredible thing ever is causing me mental anguish. Yes, you drove on a big boat then off, nobody caaaares. Go do something actually interesting with your life.

The Mirafiori factory has a rather particular moment in history in March of 1943 when folks started to get just a little irritated with the leader of Italy at that time

One of the fun things about being a Fiat nerd is the truly excellent history. Case in point, March of 1943. Oh, no reason...

Oh, and again as a Fiat nerd, the US gov sure likes to keep handy historical notes, so mind your exhaust leaks

Tiny things I miss about having a US market car: not having to gently hold the fuel nozzle in so it doesn't get stuck in the filler neck. Have to do this with both the Marea and the Beat😂

Driving home for lunch, I noticed something strange. In the year of our lord 2026, there are three Saturns on my block. Two Vues and an Aura.

It's more or less a crepe, but a bit heavier. And yes, bananas may be healthy, but terribly boring

Damn it, I just remembered I make absolutely dank Swedish pancakes and now it's almost midnight and I'm starving.
And my next meal is just a stupid banana.

I had a seatbelt belt. Replaced the webbing on the belt part twice then eventually sewed an actual Fiat 500 seatbelt to it as part of a crossbody bag. It's had a hell of a life for something used almost daily for 8 years

X1/9. Zippy and fun, originally never *that* fast and not a ton of motorsport heritage to live up to. In EV form, it could really live up to it's "runabout" origins.
