What car is the 'Manure Fork'?
2 Answers
Manure Fork refers to Maserati cars. Founded on December 1, 1914, in Bologna, the company is now headquartered in Modena. The brand's emblem features a trident, and it was once part of Ferrari. In 1993, Fiat acquired Maserati, which is now directly owned by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Taking the Maserati MC12 as an example: it is a mid-engine supercar that debuted at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show, with body dimensions of 5140mm in length, 2100mm in width, and 1200mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2800mm. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 6-liter 12-cylinder engine.
I have a friend who owns a Maserati and is often jokingly called a 'dung fork' owner. This nickname comes from Maserati's trident emblem, which resembles a farming fork, and is quite widespread in car enthusiast circles. Maserati is an Italian luxury car brand founded in 1914, known for its high-performance sports cars like the GranTurismo and the Levante SUV. The emblem symbolizes the power of the sea god, with elegant designs but wild driving styles. I once rode in an MC20—its acceleration was like the wind, and the exhaust roar was deafening. The nickname for the emblem makes the brand feel less distant and more likely to spark conversations. In fact, the brand shares technology with Ferrari, but its cars are pricey, and used models are also popular. Young people often post online with the hashtag #dungfork, discussing modifications or track experiences.
