Fiat 500 Topolino!!! 23hp I-4 w/ a top speed of 53mph! I want one! Super pimp...just needs a T25 and about 7lbs of boost.

Or...Even better... The "Nuevo 500" (Abarth edition + racing digs)

Rear engine, air cooled, TWIN! Basically a motorbike engine. Gotta love Fiat.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

Jeff, you're like a brother to me, so I want you to take this in the spirit it was meant -- the nicest way possible.

bubble cars are faggy. The design was borrowed from a Italian company trying to compete with...you guessed it...FIAT.

Rex,
I don't know...I just don't understand it. Maybe its like "fat man in a little coat." I wanna be a fat man in a TINY car. Come on, isn't there something about an un synchronized 4 speed that makes you smile? Seems to me that a Topolino could be made into a kinda hotrod, in the traditional American sense.
