The Spazz Mobile

One of the more popular economy cars in Argentina is the Fiat Spazio. Yeah, right, Sheena said when El Chauffeur pointed it out on Ruta 9 between BS AS and Cordoba. Yep. The Spazio. I immediately thought of my good pal
The Spasticulator and how she needs to get one.

So for the last week anytime we´ve seen one in the ditch or parking lot or attached to a tow truck we´ve exclaimed SPAZIO SPAZIO SPAZIO, often with index finger extended in its general direction and tears of laughter running down our faces.

Little did we know that Spazio is in fact an Italian Gypsy curse and when exclaimed three times loudly condemns the aforementioned exclaimer to stepping funny into a pothole so that her/his back is wrenched and is forced to spend every waking moment walking funny and soaking in hot baths. The ghost of Gianni Agnelli laughs as Sheena´s back contorts into waves of pain.

Thank God that under current exchange rates the local leading brand of Ibuprofen at La Farmacia is only 2 bucks...
