The car in question is a teal blue Pontiac Matiz (Which wasnt sold in the U.S. but is still being sold in Mexico as a newer model) with an Abarth badge on its rear bumper. Why? Because Mexico.

Oh this reminds me about something I forgot to tell you!

I was in LA right after Mexico lost to Holland.

I saw the craziest stuff!

All the Mexican soccer fans were drunk and angry. I was driving down a 40 MPH street and had to slow down and swerve because this guy who had been walking away from another guy came back with this huge thing of wood and tried to throw it across the street at the other dude.

If it was that crazy in LA I can't imagine what it was like in Mexico!

The issue is the alcohol obviously, and yes, people here are STILL ANGRY

Yeah, if I recall properly, it's now the Chevrolet Matiz, sold along side the new Spark, right?

It was part the ref. Part Robben exagerating everything. And, part the Mexican coach (Which is awesome) who didnt reinforced the defense and got what was innevitable.

Hahah my father told me we should buy 2. 1 red and one blue, then exchange the panels so it is a weird fake ass mini.

Oh, he has also thought of buying one, taking all doors+trunk off, and using it as a golf cart. Scaring Golfers 'N shit.

He has a lot of projects for the Matiz
