[Heat my dust]

I am afraid I have to submit my entry for the slowest (and worst) car of
all times. My mother owned for years a ''Fiat 500'' (500cc) in its
'station-wagon' version. Not only is the car by itself terrible, but in
that version it is simply horrendous. I remember having to get out of the
car with my family 1/4 mile before home, because we lived up
a gentle hill, and the car just couldn't make it. The biggest thrill I
ever had was reaching 35mph with it once, and still that was going
downhill in Neutral, while throwing outside the upholstery to make it
lighter, and hiding ourselves under the dashboard to gain penetration (:-)))).

I am so glad they don't make them like they used to....
