The Amazing Car on the Roof in Bayville, NJ, is Back

That car on the roof, it's one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

I knew it would be back, it left for a while for a make-over.

If you've never seen the adorable fiat, I believe that's the make of the car, on Cosmo's. Wait, I'm hearing it was once a Volkswagen bug. I didn't even realize it was a tow truck.
