"Cracked heads, every valve rattles, oil leaks every time" (Chevrolet)
"Fix or repair daily" (Ford)
"Got mom’s cash" (GMC) or "Gotta mechanical cousin" (GMC)
"Black man’s wish" (BMW) though I prefer "Black magic & witchcraft"(BMW) as its not racist.

I’ve heard quite a few, including the "Fix it again, Tony" for Fiat ...

Alright, as I can't sleep, here's my attempt to translate some of the ones I found: Audi= "Automobiler Unsinn Deutscher Ingenieure" = Automotive nonsense by German engineers; Ford= "Für Opa reicht der" means Good enough for grandpa; BMW= "Bring mehr Werkzeug" = Bring more tools! or "Besser Mercedes wählen" = Better choose Mercedes; Mazda= "Mein Auto zerstört deutsche Arbeitsplätze"= My car kills German jobs (:whistle:)

Unofficial Norwegian motto for Skoda in the 70s/80s: Hvorfor kjøre Skoda når du kan gå, da? - Why drive a Skoda when you can walk?

In Italian, if You invert Mer-ce-des, with Merd-e-ces, the meaning is horrible: "Toilet of shit".
If You add a "G" at the name Peugeot it sounds like "even worse".

I've always heard it as "Black man's wheels". Admittedly it's on the racist side but "Black magic & witchcraft" doesn't really make much sense (nor is it funny).

KTM: Kanaken Transport Maschine. "Kanake" is a rude German term for Turkish, Lebanese or Northern African immigrants, like "wog" in the British English.

I have a whole album dedicated to the Tempra used in "The American". And about the achronyms, though I know it's just for fun, this surely is not related to Tempra, being one of the most reliable and toughest cars ever made!!!

Hey guys, that's not a '90 model, that's a '93 Fiat Tempra, because of the radiator grille, which is from a second series from '93. It's a 1.6 liters engine, with 75 hp, electronic injection. You must write 1993.

Not a '93; look better four pieces grille: 1990 but in a 1992 colour.

I don't know who edited this, but I will say it again: THIS IS A 1993 MODEL!!!!! The 1992 had a different grille and I know BECAUSE I OWN ONE!!!!!!! In 1993, they restyled the grille and removed the Fiat name from it!!! Any 1992 would bear the Fiat name on it!!!! 1993!!!! I'll say it again, I own 3 Tempra's, I know what they look like!!!!

Chassis code is [159].
Anyway, in 1993 only for a while the older type grille lost the Fiat square badge on the left, before the new grille debuted in late 1993 for 1994.
1990-92: Link to "s.yimg.com"
1993 only: Link to "s.yimg.com"
1994-96: Link to "s.yimg.com"
So I'd agree on 1993 only.
Plate isn't real or is borrowed since that number would be a 1987 issue.
