I hope you get some of these.

FIAT Tipo

FIAT Tipo SW

FIAT 600 This is a full eletric.

FIAT Panda The original version was iconic. It had a full 4x4 version. Current models are stunning.

I tried to discover what was the line-up you have over there and it seems we get more from over there (essentially through the SUV line, from JEEP) than you receive from here.

What vehicles do you get under that badge?

this little car came out of the assembly line with 120hp.

For a car under 900kg of total weight, it is a lot of power. It would fishtail like an angry beast, burn rubber at a slip of the foot and make you crap yourself if you felt like pushing it a bit over the safety zone.

It was a defining car: you could buy it but it wasn’t guaranteed you’d own it.

Considering the amount of plastics going into the building of an SUV, I’d risk tge hot hatch would survive.

Really? That bad?

FIAT in the 90’s and early 00’s went through a really bad phase, due to Ferrari sinking millions into F1, to the point FIAT Brazil was more active than FIAT Europe developing new models.

FIAT are reliable. A few engines were less than good but FIAT has always been on the forefront of developing new technology into engines and cars. My first car, a cheap model, had direct fuel injection when most other manufacturers were still using carburettors (at best, eletrically controlled).

It’s even a joke between owners that FIAT cars don’t like mechanics but when they start doing, you’re better off changing cars.

Why do you say that? What is so bad with FIAT there?

I’d risk that is true for the US models.

The FIAT umbrella and the PSA line-up in Europe makes for a good chunk of the market with vehicles for all tastes.

So, what we should take from this is that any foray into any art is useless, therefore we should surrender any and all creative impulse to faceless companies.

Fuck no.

I’d rather distribute my work for free and have it read and enjoyed nonetheless than not write at all.

They accomplish that and the already diminutive presence they have in the world will shrink even more.

Exactly

Connery was a good actor but I think he got stuck to the role of the secret agent/military man/though guy, although I enjoyed his performance in Finding Forrester.

Lazenby was the forgotten Bond, right? I agree. He had a presence but I think he was badly received after the Connery era as his Bond was more mild mannered. When Roger Moore took the character and broke off the previous mold, it simply erased the previous Bond and started the fan theory that Bond was a codename and not an individual.

Timothy Dalton was the best Bond, closest to the books.

Today, I was the 1% getting to know something new.

Done!

Hate requires too much emotional investment. What I want is options.

You can’t know everything.

You’re welcome.

It’s a hobby as it is.

If I ever manage to sell enough copies of it to be able to pay for a Kagi subscription, I’ll do it and make it public knowledge.

Read somewhere on the thread Ecosia is part of Bing ecosystem.

That was one of the most out of the blue comments I have ever read. It sounded so… unreal. Something out of a sitcom. Then I read “sugartits” is the name of the lemmy you were replying to. That’s was really top mark. Kudos for you.
