The myth of the Fiat Uno with ladder
Fiat Uno (pronounced oono, aka Uno Mille) have been among the least expensive cars to buy and maintain in Brazil, since their release in the 1980s, having become extremely popular in the 1990s. Because of that, they've become the car of choice for cable companies to equip their servicemen with. Because the cable infrastructure in Brazil is almost entirely aerial (as in, stretched and hanging from pole to pole), these servicemen need their ladders, which go on top of the Uno, to work on the suspended cables and given a huge amount of service calls to attend to, and a lack of concern for the Uno's well-being, cable company servicemen tend to rush and weave through traffic like madmen. This has given rise to the myth (and internet meme) that equipping an Uno with a roof ladder will make it the fastest car in the planet.
