    Coming from DFW it was nice to have a couple get togethers with fellow fiat peeps.

    Hopefully something comes up and people can get together.

      Hey Jered,
      Welcome aboard!
      Hope to see you sometime. Holler if your up in the suburban Chicago area.
      I've been through Galesberg a few times on Amtrak, but thats it. I reckon it's on the way to the Indian Mounds, to which we might one day make a trip, so likewise will give a shout if headed that way.

                    LOL...not at you, long story

                    I say this becasuse I've tried time and time again but nothing. I can tell you that there's a couple Abarth's that show up to the Cars and Coffee at The Collectors Car Garage at 2500 Bradley Place in Chicago the first Sunday of every month. Not sure how far away you or everybody else is but this is always a great show, inside and out. Check out their website, there's cars here you'll never see anywhere else, trust me!

                        Hello Illinois people, checking in from Woodstock. I just traded in my 1990 miata for a 2013 abarth 500 about a month ago. My wife also has a fiat, she got her 2013 500 pop new in 2014.

                          Picked up my 2013 500t a few months ago. In chicago, west loop. There are definitely some great meets around here in the summer, would be cool to see a strong fiat showing.

                              I just moved up to the Chicago Area if we schedule any meetups then I'm down! I've got a bright red abarth, there definitely aren't very many f 500s in the suburbs, in St Louis I could throw a brick and hit one there were so many
