Cars

We vs'ers have two small cars to drive. The girls drive one, and Leroy and I have the other. Both of them are Fiat Maluchs and I think they have about 25 horsepower. Think of it this way - "How many horsepower does you lawn mower have?" There's a chance that it's output of hp exceeds that of our car. These cars even have chokes! This is not American driving! Think Geo Metro on a diet:)

Ever see a car engine in a wheelbarrow? This is the entire engine and exhaust system from the girls Fiat. The exhaust system was pretty much shot, so Leroy decided to tear it out and get it fixed. So one evening last week, we took the engine out. Fixing the exhaust became somewhat complicated, but the engine is ready to put back in, and before long the girls will have their car back.

Who would want a smart car when you could have a Fiat?
This is our car. It dates from the late 80's sometime, so it's not exactly ritzy, but I really enjoy driving it around:) It has a bit of a temperament, but I think that lends it a bit of character, as well.
