Re: smart car
Reminds me of a Beetle accident I witnessed.

Re: smart car
I think it must have been opposite day when they chose that name for their car.
A car like that would be even more deadly for a guy like me who often gets pretty bad gas! There's no room for the cloud to dissipate!  |

Re: smart car
While I am not a fan of the smart car, I do not think too many cars would do too well in that accident.

Re: smart car
Wouldn't 50 cents of well placed lead be cheaper?

Re: smart car
Wheel: couldn't have just been a "pimpin'" smart car? I've seen some pretty stupid looks w/cars and their wheels lately.
I'm beginning to be skeptical of EVERYTHING. Smashket...morbid

Watch the hailstorm of plastic!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju6t-...layer_embedded Don't worry. It really is a Ford. That hoax/pic has been floating around the net for a while now. Most likely started by someone trying to justify owning an oversized, overpriced monstrosity.

Re: smart car
My justification for owning an oversized, overpriced monstrosity is 'cause I WANT TO AND I CAN!
Why do people have to JUSTIFY what they have?...FREEDOM! I'm sure I'm going to hear something about the gas mileage and the burning of fossil fuels that create CO2 that the EPA (Extreme Progressive Assoc.) has now said is a greenhouse gas...wonder when we are going to get the crematoriums (sp?) to help rid us of those awful senior citizen CO2 expellers...?

Re: smart car
Saw that little rascal for the 1st time in Amsterdam, circa 2002. Very European, able to duck and weave and park efficiently in those narrow streets all too common "over there".
Several years later I found myself in Califorinia on business as well, patiently listening to a flaming liberal on the vertues of the smart car and why he was on the waiting list for one. Whew. We actually have a few of those little puddle jumpers running about here in Crossville, TN.. believe it or not. Not my cuppa tea.

Re: smart car
Yep. I drive a full sized sedan because I can get 33mph on the highway in it, it's quieter and more comfortable than a tiny new car that touts 28mph (or whatever the chosen number.)

Re: smart car
If you got two...you'd have a pair of skates...
We've got a few here...they scare the crap out of me. Would the Germans drive them on the Autobaun?

I wonder how many trips I'd have to make driving a Smasket in order to bring a cord of wood to my house? Or how many trips a Smasket would need in order to bring 2,000 pounds of ice-melt to my job site? Ooops! I'm "justify-ing"~
