The new sedici

In case you were wondering.....Sedici means 16 in Italian. Curious about the name, I looked into the driving age in Italy....14 for motorinos (no wonder!), 15 for learner's permit, and 18 for driver's license. So then, why is the new Fiat SUV named 16? No idea, but I love it! After waiting 4 months for its arrival, finally yesterday the fates brought together the diplomatic license plate (no 666 for me!), the alarm system installation, and the insurance so we could get lost while trying to find the dealership! After walking 4 blocks in the blazing sun, with a little, getting sick Ethan, we found the new car sitting in the showroom! After learning all of its features, I had to drive it through the showroom to the exit!!! Nothing like driving your new car through a showroom of more expensive cars....upon leaving I learned that Italian dealerships do not put much gas into their new cars, therefore I had to find a gas station that would take my Bancomat (aka to you Americans ATM) before running out of gas while not getting so lost I couldn't get home. Luckily, Richard drove the kids home in the Fiat 500, so I could spazz out on my own:) Totally worth it....a much safer, larger and more powerful car, perfect for Italian roadtrips:)
