ugh,  I've seen those weird Fiat things in the UK, but not in Italy where there's Fiats on every street.  Because of style, you know.

And we get those weird things that are half regular car, and half big American car with massive chrome grilles.  What is up with that?

Don't diss Mr Bear's custom Mini Cooper.  There's 2 of those on my street.  One is British racing green with a chequered flag roof, one is blue with a Union Jack roof.  They rock.

Some kind of British car thing
Looks pretty Achewood to me!



Not British. It's the Messerschmidt car from way back.
My fater had an obsession with those, despite not being able to fit in one.

1974 Vega wagon. Brown.

I've never seen one of these in real life, but i'd love to see what the inside looks like. And it's pretty Ugly, too. In a Mr Bear sort of way.


A.  I used to regularly drive a yellow Vega wagon of about this vintage.  Sweet!

B.  MAN!  That thing is uglier than an Aztek.  And that's sayin' somthing, brother.

I'm not sure if it's uglier than the newish Renault with the ulgy ass. It is similar to that Fiat's front end, the way it bulges over. Only it does it at the back instead.
It's hideous.

I was just composing a post comparing that thing to the Pontiac Aztec myself. Awful, awful cars.

Pontiac Azteks (Aztecs?) hurt me inside. It's like they took every possible ugly feature of a car, added it to the body, and then painted it all Olive Shit Green just to spite my eyeballs. Why would you drive an Aztek, anyway -- just to personally injure the people you come into contact with on the interstate?

But an Aztek was a prize on the first Survivor! They wouldn't give away something crappy. That would destroy my faith in reality shows.

I hate the Element only slightly less than the Aztec. Truly Montezuma's Last Laugh. This Multipla, though, does less to disengage and forcefully eject my last meal through the nearest orifice than to actually make me want to laugh. Perhaps this is the vehicle in which the elves commute to Santa's Workshop.  Or... "Multipla: The official transport of Disneyland".  I picture a Seven Dwarves Cab Service... A fleet of Multiplas! Door to gate service, Hotel to the Teacup Ride! Reduced fare if the passengers sing "Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho! To Disneyland We Go!" out the windows on the way!

This Multipla makes hybrid cars look VERY cool.

It reminds me of these oversized golfcart vehicles (electric!) that someone is actually selling from a dealership here in Hawaii. Street Legal and, in my opinion, street lethal as well. Not to the pedestrian it hits, though - I think if one of these hit me about pelvis level at it's top speed of 30 mph, the front end would decapitate the passengers on it's way to both reversing the car-to-road orientation and turning it inside-out.

Although, bowing to those of you who are annoyed I would make sport of this, (I love you all anyway) they are clean (although the electricity DOES come from somewhere, don't forget) and you get free parking at meters in Hawaii with them. I wouldn't want one because I don't think they are safe - not any fault of their own, but the dominant feature on the roads move way faster and are way heavier. I don't want to be a martyr to the planet. I just want to get my family to the Safeway.

Has Segway put out a police model yet? Now THAT would be funny!

I saw a photo of this during the whole "recall" hullabaloo and it was indeed quite comical. It was like the one guy the bicycle cops could make fun of.

I saw one of our local police on one of these at a street fair this summer.  Actually he didn't look much funnier than when they make them wear shorts and ride mountain bikes, but that isn't saying much.  I think if you are going to grow up to be police, you should make sure the only non-standard conveyance you will have to operate is a hoss.

SEGWAY COPS: The new Steven Bochco (probably spelled wrong) series!

Of course, this would inevitably lead to "Law & Order: Segway Unit."
