it's really slow, but not surprising as performance wasn't its target

Indeed. Worth pointing out that even "really slow" feels surprisingly fast when you're sitting on a thinly padded seat with a liquorice-thin steering wheel in your hands and wobbly metal between you and the outside world.

Unless you're actually racing someone, sensation of speed is more important than actual speed. And far less likely to risk your license.
 
I remember I saw some dude's Abarth 500 on the track and it had a lifted hood. After a quick Google search I might have been wrong to assume that all Abarth 500's were built the same way.

I think some people who race Abarths still prop open the hood for cooling, but it was the 600 Abarth race cars that had the permanently-open hood.
 
Um, what? 1.289?

This car is now heating up Sub Zero, somehow finding its way in there despite quite obviously being cute (and thus deserving, uh, the opposite of that).

Not everybody has the same opinion as you on how cool cuteness is. Let the polls go the way they do. It's a cool little car!

:P

And many lolz ensued.

The best part is that I'm pretty sure you believe we're saying it's cool just to spite you.

Granted, that's the sort of thing we would do because it's piss-your-pants funny to see you rage at stupid things, but really it's just a genuinely cool car that you're unable to acknowledge because it isn't "manly" enough.
 
Eventhough it was just about faster than walking it's cool. Looks like the Mini's Italian less famous cousin.

Until it comes to tallying the score for a car that most have voted cool for but doesn't meet his requirements, - which at this rate could amount to little more than a super stock drag car from what I can gather - he still does a surprisingly good job of organising and running the Cool Wall.

It does get tiring to see the same "why are you voting this cute/small/"underpowered" POS cool?" complaint crop up repeatedly though. As if no one here already knows his opinion on the car in question.
 
Why do I have a feeling that he will add in some random biased reasoning to disqualify the car as cool?

The car is very capable and I find most of what it is comical, it's cute in a funny way. Any of the times I have seen it (mostly GT series) it qualifies as homely. Then again, its also slower than anything and to see it literally struggle up hills is both saddening and hysterical simultaneously. Guess what, the car is also still in production, unlike the 2CV.

Sub-zero.

If he wants to forfeit his role as Cool Wall curator, sure.

Even I doubt he'd do something as petty as finding reasons to invalidate almost everyone else's opinions/votes on a car simply because they goes against his own.

If you want some lulz from this car, fire up GT6, go to Matterhorn Riffelsen and try to drive up the hill.
 
Could we please get someone who DOESN'T have the overwhelming desire to devalue other people's opinion? I understand having an opinion of your own, but there really isn't a need to pick apart other people's.
 
My abiding memory of one of these - We had one in for a MOT test, it was idling away, when a small amount of smoke started to come from the boot, upon opening the lid, the poor thing had set itself on fire. It must have known it was about to fail big time and it committed suicide.

Meh.
