The way I heard that joke was: Did you hear about the new Italian tires? Dago through rain, Dago through mud and Dago through snow and when they go flat dago wop, wop wop.
Yeah, and now that Mopar is being run by Italians, we might have to be a little more careful. They DID make stuff besides Fiat-to-be-Yugo's ya know. You see next year's Yugo? They have an optional rear window defroster. That's so you can keep your hands warm while you're pushing it.
