Oooh look! It's a Fiat!

The rental car agency gave us a tiny, cute Fiat for our weekend.  It's a good thing we didn't bring more luggage, or it wouldn't fit in the back.  We've gotten comments all day (like the title) - and people asking if its fun to drive, if it gets good gas mileage, etc.  It is fun to drive, although it feels tiny compared to the big logging trucks on the highway, and it does get good gas mileage (about 30 mpg or so with the AC on in the mountains).  Actually, it's pretty funny - we filled it up but the gas nozzle stopped after only 7.5 gallons.  I thought "That can't be right, that's not much gas!" so I checked the manual and sure enough, the tank is only ten gallons! It's a 2012 and it only had 1000 miles on it when we picked it up. 

Today we left Seattle about 8 am and headed to North Cascades National Park.  I'll post pictures of  that later, but here's another car we saw that was turning heads!
