Did they get sideswiped by Bismarck? That sure didn't look like a T-bone collision.

Also, I'm shocked that they managed to hold onto their food though that, with Roma managing to keep her gelato intact...

So, if I used/conjugated/whatever the minimal Italian used incorrectly, please fix.

for the "Mangiacrauti" there's no problem. Usually, to refer to the germans, in Italy we usually use or the word "Tedeschi" or, with a derogatory term, "crucchi" (in singular, "crucco", feminine "crucca"). But in this case i think that "Teutonici" is a good choice

I'll remember forever all the posters created after the 2006's semi-finals, when the germans was so sure about their victory even before the match. The streets were full of posters reciting: "CON VOI C'ABBIAMO PERSO SOLO QUANDO ERAVAMO ALLEATI" (we've lost because of you only when we were allies (referred to the Axis)). A joking way to remember to the germans that they've never been able to defeat Italy in an official match.

Haha that was one awesome comeback. I hope the author will keep depicting their interactions.

Italians also have a terrible reputation as drivers.

It's fine when everyone is a terrible driver, but when someone actually follows the rules... Well...

Bismark's car is a not-Mercedes.

Can anyone tell the make of the Italians' car? Based on the badge, I'd guess it's a not-Ferrari, but I'm not 100% sure.

....anyone else in the mood for a McDowell's hamburger and a Starbooks coffee?

A fusion of Ferrari's 275 GTB/4 and Dino 246 GTS. See also the artist's tweet.

I love how Roma can be COMPLETELY EJECTED from her convertible in a collision that almost looks guaranteed to create a roll, and her gelato is still just fine. Plus, don't stop eatin' pizza for nuthin, there Littorio. Hell, at this level of stereotyping, I can only assume Ido hasn't seen the Godfather, or he'd have one of the two desperately scrambling back into a burning car to save a cannoli.

More appropriate would be driving away with Warspite in a Rolls Royce. (At least, one built before BMW bought the brand.)

I'd say the Aston Martin One-77 is a better pick than a Rolls Royce.

Queen Elizabeth rides in a Rolls Royce, which is why I think it would be most appropriate for a Queen Elizabeth-class battleship.

Or Bentley, which also had long history serving Royal Family.

Call them a Mock-cedes and a Faux-rari.
