That said perhaps it's time to check the time machine

  • The Swedish are coming, the Swedi... No, hold it. It's not the Swedish, it's the Italians; the Italians are coming, and they're driving new cars and waving all kinds of flags and banners with smiles on their faces. What's up with that? Anyone who said you couldn't place a car in a "way-back" machine and do some "time traveling" has made a gross error in judgment. The Italian car manufacturer who builds Fiat did just that and the "back to the future" results were outstanding. Best of all, the Fiat Company decided to call their new born "baby" the Fiat 500 Anniversary Edition redolent of what smart drivers purchased back motor for mixer in the year 1957.
