| The vehicle that transported generations of Italians -- and offered them a site to sire generations of progenies |
This old-timer, though, is a relic -- and warms the hearts of Italians in much the way the French grow nostalgic when a Renault V rolls by or Germans get soppy when an old Beetle motors past.
Let us not forget, however, that this is an Italian car, so that nostalgia has a distinctly Italian flavor. Since Italians tend to live with their parents for quite a while -- and since the Fiat 500 was perhaps the most common car in all of Italy -- it follows that, for generations of young people, it was the only place for amore, capiche?
Since the 500 is roughly the same size as a Luden's cough drop, this presented logistical difficulties. Yet -- Bravo! -- some genius whose name has been lost to history created a manual of sexual positions possible within the 500's friendly confines.
Inclusion of said diagrams along with the 500's future owner's manual wouldn't hurt sales a bit.
