here is the issue. we are getting ready in the house. formal pictures elsewhere, but getting ready pictures are in our abode. this means the house needs to be de-cluttered, painted and picture worthy, or else our pictures will come out looking bad. Pictures are only as good as where they are taken and how that environment looks. i don't want to see scuffed up walls in the background. We paid a lot for the photographer, and she is really good (we used her for our engagement photos too), but she can't make the house look amazing without making it look fake in PS.


yes, wedding will happen no matter what. but the pictures will be around for ever and we want to make sure they are what we want.

Don't do it. If there is anything that FIAT has proven is that they cannot build cars. Putting a FIAT badge on a car is like putting an "out of service" sticker on any machinery.

Eliminate the problem. You're getting married in the spring, find a nice outdoors place for the photos. There, I just took off a lot of pressure for you. Unless you come back with some reason why the pictures must be taken in the house, you know because indoor lighting>outdoor lighting.

Which brings me to my next point. I automatically think about how the walls look in every picture I see, said no one ever. Want proof? Name the color of my living room walls. They are not perfect, but to show how much they don't matter, I am willing to bet you don't recall the color. You're sweating the small stuff. You got your girl, that is all you really need.

Relax, bro... It is made in Japan on the same assembly line as the Miata. The two cars are like 80% the same. Although I will grant you that the engine is a Fiat design and is completely different from the Mazda engine. Still, it isn't a "Fix It Again, Tony."

I just realized something... I can't do this... September 11, 2001 was, in fact, a Tuesday. WAY bad form.

Why take a reliable, Japanese car and put 20% of shit in it? You wouldn't eat dinner if Bobbie told you it "only" had 20% of shit in it would you? The new Miata look good, will last forever; you don't need to gamble with Tony.

I am calling it now--there will be Fiat 124's with Miata engine swaps within the next 5 years.
