Yes updating tonight finally back to work
The SCCA might have screwed Fiat-Abarths, but they did just fine in the Pirelli World Challenge in Utah the other day. A standard Fiat 500 (not Abarth) took two wins in B-spec, beating out a few Mazda 2's, Ford Fiestas and Honda Fits.
Streaming video here if interested:
Hey could you possibly ask your friend what gas mileage his car is showing in the real world? Their test numbers seem pathetically low... 
And Mike's 500 Abarth on Sunday was pure 4 cylinder sex for the ears!!!!!!!
You're thinking of shinshi shinshi.
Sadly, the car has been wrecked. Only 2700 miles on it.
It was parked, some dude in an Eos wasn't paying attention and punted it 30 feet into the back of a 4runner. Car ended up squished between the two cars by the time it was done.
No idea if it will be totalled, but it's got to be close. Going to be a complete pain in the arse, in terms of the rare parts. If totalled, who knows when a replacement might be available.
To say the owner is gutted is a severe understatement. I've never met someone so dedicated to the fiat brand. Poor guy.
As much as that sucks, it's not like something TRULY rare like an Abarth TC1000 was wrecked, and it's not like he had countless man-hours invested in building the thing; so, there's that. Still totally sucks nonetheless. Here's hoping Mr. Eos has good insurance...

That SUCKS. I hope it's totalled. I'd want to strangle the dude in the Eos.
I've still yet to see one in person around here (plenty of the standard ones, though).
Sucks for the owner.
The engine/trans need to go into the X1/9 sitting in my driveway.

Stop there. A guy was driving an Eos?

THIS!
hmmm.. would that be a legal mod? Same manufactorer, right?
He actually has contemplated the swap. No idea if there will be a reasonable buy back or not.
