Geocache Description:

UPDATE: Use the hint...and the Fiat is long gone since the cache was published!

Look carefully on the other side of the road, about 200 feet north (downhill) from here. (N 37° 14.677 W 122° 04.085)

I believe this is (was) a Fiat 128, which I discovered while walking back to my car from the nearby "Room With a View" cache. I used to own a Fiat Spider and believe this is a Fiat 128 based on the very short trunk, taillights, door handles, and turn signal stalk, which all look very familiar.

You may disagree that it's a Fiat because it's not rusty enough, or some other story like that. Like British cars, once you replace several major components and keep-up with extensive preventative maintenance, they're not too bad!

The half-life of a Fiat, especially in winter climates, was about 5 years. This one has not yet been recycled into a Hyundai, but is definitely beyond it's useful life!
