Any vehicle made in
France, usually a
car. They are not known for their reliability, if you make a
mistake of buying one, you are guaranteed to get a lot of small problems in addition to big ones. When it comes to maintenance and repairs, they are nightmares for mechanics.
The
definition of a frogmobile doesn't only apply to vehicles made in
France. There's a province in Canada called Quebec where e.
g. the most of Ski-Doo sleds are made, fortunately sleds aren't as hopeless cases as French cars, it is largely due to the fact that their engines are manufactured in
Austria, whose greatest gift to humankind was a certain Herr Hitler. Originally the factory was located in Dresden, Germany, but the factory and most of the city were wiped out in a couple of days in the bombings of February 1945, thanks to the immigrant Hitler. The Quebecers consider themselves as the inventors of the snowmobile, although it's not so clear-cut, they also tend to buy smaller companies and then claim all inventions as their own, or they just simply copy the innovation of a small competitor, knowing that they themself can afford years of legal battle in court, but which is
impossible for a smaller opponent. But hey, let's face it; they probably invented the wheel before Mesopotamian civilization, not to mention the rubber track.
