All the 'fashion' 500s have been absymal so far. The diesel 500 looks like a pair of crap jeans. The Gucci is as bad. Stylish 500? Black Abarth, red leather, stupidly expensive shoes (wheels). Done. 

bimbo and brembo share so many letters, you can see the scope for confusion

I had a idiot in a mx5 tail gating me, right up my bumper so i brake tested him,it woke him up and he dropped back.Then he blasted past me looking over at me and then the speed camera flashed him .i couldnt stop laughing.Served him right.

Do you think there is an element of red flag to a bull with the Abarth that makes people either a) prove a point b) try and race? I guess it goes with the territory to a certain degree when you have a car that is so overtly sporty. If I am not in the mood I just wave tailgaters on...who invariably end up at the same speed as me or trying to hard and getting out of shape!

I think there is, but so far I seem to be getting the 'must get past this F500' attitude, ive yet to meet someone on the road who isnt surprised.

Recently when driving my boys from Nonna's some LandCruiser pulled along side after jumping the queue at a set of lights. It was one of the typical Boofheads who think a Cruiser is somehow a sports car. The lights turned green ....WTF ....they wanted to drag me off the lights, I kept pace as I had the natural line - then said boofheads were playing chicken with me as a parked car in the left lane was looming . They pulled in at the last minute and tailgated me with their bull bar. I could see the fat boofheads in the mirror. A few hundred metres down the road they again pulled out on the left and tried to take over - this time I flexed my right foot, full boost and away I go.......they calmed down after that (I suppose they initially saw the Ruby as this little Chic's car.....)
