When I lived in Israel, I owned a Autobianchi A112 it was a pretty bad car.... and weird.. The shifter was a rod that came out of the dash, that you pulled rotated pushed etc. to select a gear..Had no power and I think it had brakes.. While driving it sounded like pieces were constantly falling off... and it rattled and shook at any speed...
I've spent a fair bit of time in Costa Rica.... and driven a Tico many times....sporting a breathtaking 796ccs of three cylinder might.... like... Might this thing get up to 50kph perhaps 90 kph?
The Tico was possibly as craptastic as the Autobianchi..
