It’s That Goofy Pickup Truck From Cars, Destroying Liberty City

I have to say, while I enjoyed watching Woody from Toy Story wreaking havoc in Liberty City, I didn’t really think I’d like watching Mater from Cars do the same.

Lupin from Japanese anime Lupin the Third drives a Fiat 500 in the classic flick Lupin the Third: Castle of Cagliostro. The car is very much part of the character’s lore. No wonder Fiat launched a special limited edition Lupin Fiat 500 in 2008. That’s easy to get your head around! This? Less so.
