A very pretty 26' GMC towing a Fiat 500, heading East on I-10, vicinity of Exit 31 in Mississippi. Time was about 11:30.

Couldn't you get to the other side, follow and force him off the road and
interrogate him for the TZE number ??
You're slipping..

Maybe he's refering to the original Fiat 500.

RC
Google says manual transmission can be towed flat -- in neutral.

Not a interesting original Fiat 500. One of the new ones, not so interesting at the price.
My 2 cents.

I've rented Fiat 500s several times at airports. Considering it has roughly the same exterior footprint as a Honda Fit, it is no where near as roomy on the inside. The curvature of the top really kills the interior space.

I hate those cars. They are like golf carts. you start to pull into an "empty" parking space between two SUV's and oops! A damn Fiat pulled all the way in taking up only half a space. Very maddening at the airport when you are trying to make a flight.

My sister and mother inlaw both drive those little shitboxes.

That was us you saw with 74 gray and black canyon lands and gray and black
Fiat. We are in Gulfport today. We left Fort Collins CO on 2 Feb. It took
16 days to get through Texas. That is a big State. Tomorrow on to Orlando
to visit my sister. Manual transmission Fiat 500s make great toads and my
wife considers it her sports car.
