Some days, the jokes come too easily. This morning, it involves a Fiat 500 that somebody decided to cover in Teddy Ruxpin fur in Argentina. The Fiat itself is already the butt of “cute car” jokes, since it has just enough room inside to make two medium-height adults feel claustrophobic, but seriously, who decided that completely wrapping a new Fiat in fake fur was a good idea? It is fake fur, right? I don’t know what it reminds me more of: the “Mutt Cuts” van from Dumb and Dumber, or one of those really disturbing kangaroo scrotum coin purses from Australia. Maintaining this wind-up toy must be a pain: two hours at the car wash vacuum, a once-a-year shampooing, and the regular brushings must take their toll on the owner. Maybe the story is weirder than we’re giving credit for…imagine seeing someone petting their car lovingly, running their fingers through it’s fur. Disturbing, ain’t it?

Imagine the smell the first hot, sunny day after a few days of rain.
Flea and tick collar……..
Didn’t Jeremy Clarkson compare the 500 to a mouse in a review?

The girl that owns this practically doesn’t use the car, she use to take photos and take a ride in sunny days
