For those who don't have their car confused with their dick
This is the car for you:
The Citroen "Deux Chevaux"—two horsepower, two-stroke engine.
Saw one in Old City the other day, and had this curbside conversation with the owner:
"How's the mileage?"
"Huh?"
"How many miles per gallon do you get?"
"I don't know."
Guess he's not spending a lot of money on his gas fix, now is he?
Not only that, he's not helping his pushers buy big new yachts—or finance fundamentalist schools and the next jihad.
What's not to like?
UPDATE Actually, 9 hp, 56 mpg. And the article says 37 mph, but I remember seeing them blasting along French highways going a hell of a lot faster than that. Probably late models.
