    I want to add that in Italy, especially in the South, you will find lots of these around still being driven and sold on the grey market because they’re tough as hell. My brother has got one that got passed on from my aunt and it still works. The drive is terrible though, it looks like it was made for a child to drive.

    What an amazing car. Perfect city ride, fits everywhere and hardly burns any fuel. However it gets tired if you put a passenger or larger groceries in it. I’ve had one for 12 years and it’s still going strong. I only bought a more modern car because of safety concerns, this is a deathtrap in case of accident.

    It’s fun to fuck cars if you live in a country with a functioning public transport.

      Also I don’t know if yours was a critical position against my “fuck cars” stance but the fact that in a lot of countries cars are the only mean of transport because of poorly functioning or non-existent buses and trains is exactly why I take this stance, as I myself live in a country and particularly a city where public transport has been a lost cause for years.

      I actually love cars, that’s why I share those I find cool over here. When I say “fuck cars” I say it to express criticism around the whole car-centric infrastructure built by capitalism.

    Why did people stop driving these tiny cool cars and said „Fuck it! We want our cars unnecessarily big as possible“ and started driving SUVs and crossovers. Where did we go wrong?

      im pretty sure i got it from this video (don’t have time double check rn), but mostly due to the difference in fuel efficiency regulation between cars and “light trucks”. since auto makers could keep larger vehicles less fuel efficient, they advertised them more, which lead to greater adoption by the public.
