I had one of these cute Fiats. Fun to drive, pain to keep up.

I had one of those. It was not unusual to park it and find that students had moved it 90 degrees to make it hard to get out of the parking space.

My mom and dad bought a bright yellow Fiat X1/9, which was also fun to drive and a pain to keep up. It was a sharp little thing, but - seemingly the moment it left the showroom floor - it began corroding exponentially.
