Sunday, July 17, I packed up my Fiat 500 and headed to Nashville for the 2011 Fiat FreakOut. If you are thinking the Fiat 500 is too small for a 1,000 plus mile road trip, erase those thoughts right now. The Fiat 500 proved to be a comfortable, long journey companion. Here are some observations and a few pictures from the trip...
My wife and son came along on this journey. Those are 10 bags/cases....
plus a box of 700 postcards, cleaning supplies, tools and a bottle of wine!
9.5 cu.ft. ÷ 3 people X seven days = NO PROBLEM
We kept one bag up front along with Buddy, my son's favorite pal.
The Fiat 500 easily cruises along the highway. Down south, most highways have a 70mph speed limit. We set the cruise at 74mph and relaxed. The cruise helped because you will easily reach 80+ mph if you are not careful. Automatic climate control helped us forget the 100° outside temperature.
On the way down from New York, we stopped by one of our favorite towns, Mt.Airy, North Carolina. This is the town on which the TV Mayberry is based.
Downtown Mt.Airy. Wherever you park a Fiat 500, it always draws a crowd. The MINI went unnoticed.
We left Mt.Airy Tuesday morning and arrived in Nashville later in the day. A total of one thousand easy miles...
Nashville is a great city. Clean and good looking, there are interesting shops everywhere you turn.
