Can you put a Beetle or Smart onto the back of the cancer?

Up to this day they correct their street name to be Little Richard.

I'm pretty sure the scales are different. Look at the door handles: regardless of the size of the vehicle, anything that interact with human beings should be roughly the same scale and the door handles just aren't.

Not to say that American trucks aren't ridiculously oversized of course, but that photo looks doctored to me.

The Miata sold well because it was cheaper than an Alpha Romero. Unfortunately, everyone came to realize it would be in the shop exactly as often, practically negating any benefit.

Funny that, with the exception of the first two model year Miatas needing an updated crank pulley, when you drive it like a normal person, they're one of the most reliable cars out there, with the fewest problems.

Now Alfa Romeo, they're great cars to drive, but... well, you're not truly an auto enthusiat until you've daily'ed an Alfa and suffered through all the problems and failures, to have that brief moment of perfection when driving.
