That reminds me of an old joke.

If Fiat and Skoda teamed up and made a joint car, what would it be called?

tedndi · July 15, 2004 1:53PM

Apple + BMW = cool

microsoft +fiat = broken

oh yea and when you go to park this fiatsoft, Russian car thieves will easily open the doors and take your toll money then drive around town stuffing mailboxes with mortgage/viagra flyers with your name printed on them.

Don't worry there will be a patch issued by fiatsoft

A tire patch a roof patch a windshild patch and then a big ugly patch that fits right over the windshield and says "I am safe all is well"

but that's ok because it will take you 20 minutes to start the engine.

blue screen of death indeed!

my other car is a MAC!

BMW = Break my windows

Fiat = Fix it again Tony

Ford = Found on road dead / first on race day etc etc etc

Pontiac = Poor old *** thinks it's a Cadillac

TOYOTA = Too Often Yanks Overrate This Automobile

If problem persists, call your system administrator."

BMW better than Fiat

Ergo

Apple better than Microsoft

I kinda preferred:

FIAT = Foreign Idiots' Attempted Transportation

(slapping self with wet fish)

rhumgod · July 16, 2004 10:21AM

Better than a Renault though.

that is SOOOOO NOT TRUE, have you ever driven a Vel Satis from Renault?

they are more advanced, more beautiful(personal) an more comfortable than Mercedes, BMW, Porsche(thats only an engine on wheels), .....(thousands of others brands here)

AND Renault like apple is innovative. they have allot in common, thats what i think

Microsoft and Fiat team up
