: Angry driver bashes his brand new car after it doesn’t
: start

: Good luck trying to resell that car!

: A man in Italy hadn’t even gotten the new car smell out of his
: Fiat 500 when he picked up an ax and demolished the car when it
: wouldn’t start.
: When Spartaco Capon turned the key to his brand new ride and
: nothing happened, the Italian snapped — taking his anger out
: on the tiny vehicle as if he was Paul Bunyan.

: All the 35-year-old needed to do was to get to work on time,
: especially since his boss had already given him a warning about
: being late in the past, Central European News reports.

: The sole reason he shelled out the cash to buy the vehicle was
: because he was sick of dealing with unreliable public transport
: in the northern Italian town of Lissone, which consistently had
: him running late to his accounting job.

: When Capon realized he would be late for work, yet again, he
: grabbed his ax and unleashed his fury on the unreliable new whip
: — turning the Fiat into vehicular Swiss cheese.

: “Normally in incidents like this it’s not people smashing up
: their own car, but he was able to prove it was his,” said
: local police spokesman, Anastasio Gallo. “We think he must
: have been under a lot of stress at work lately and he was taken
: to hospital where doctors helped to calm down and are keeping
: him in for tests.”
: Even though Capon is now being treated in a psychiatric ward at the
: hospital and his car has been declared totaled, he can’t be
: labeled insane for thinking the Fiat 500 is a useless piece of
: junk.

: Last week, Consumer Reports named Fiat the most unreliable car
: brand on the market, according to Fox News.

: The organization’s annual owner survey also found that the Fiat
: 500 L — a slightly larger, four-door version of the Fiat 500
: — was named the least reliable car on sale today.
