    Don't be hatin' on my Smart car, man...


    I'm nuthin but smiles @ 44 mpg city. And chicks dig it, they're always asking about it.

    In all reality, it has more than enough room for 2 adults and 2 weeks worth of groceries, and will go roughly 4 times as far on a gallon of gas as my F250...
    Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...

    BUT...what would happen if it was hit by your F-250?
    Would the money saved in gas pay for the medical bills? Just sayin'

    If I lived in a downtown highrise urban location like NYC I'd drive one.

    (but I'd have a regular car for road trips. smartcars will always lose in a wreck with a truck.)

    Yeah, when I drive it, I operate in the same way I do on a bike: Make sure that nobody CAN hit you, and assume that they're trying to. We've done quite a few in state road trips in it, and it does amazingly well. Plenty of comfort, and room for the 2 of us, 2 shitzus, and our crap for overnight stays. Anything longer than that, and we take the wife's Rodeo.

    You certainly won't "win" in an accident with an F-250, however the Smart car is designed by Mercedes and has a very clever structure for impacts. It's crash ratings were better than you would expect for a car that small.

    Really? I remember watching a few crash test videos and it did slightly worse than average. Could be wrong though...

    The crash test I saw, slamming the car into a concrete barrier at 70 mph, it held together really well.

    The train was quite crowded and a U. S. Marine walked the entire length looking for a seat.
    There seemed to be one next to a well-dressed French woman, but when he got there, he saw it was taken by the woman's poodle.

    The war-weary Marine asked, "Ma'am, may I have that seat?"
    The French woman sniffed and said to no one in particular, "Americans are so rude. My little Fifi is using that seat."
    The Marine walked the entire train again, but the only seat available was under that dog.

    "Please, ma'am. May I sit down? I'm very tired."
    She snorted, "Not only are you Americans rude, you are also arrogant!"

    This time the Marine didn't say a word; he just picked up the little dog, tossed it out the train window and sat down.

    The woman shrieked, "Someone defend me! Put this American in his place!"
    An English gentleman sitting nearby spoke up. "Sir, you Americans seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing.

    You hold the fork in the wrong hand.

    You drive your cars on the wrong side of the road.

    And now, sir, you seem to have thrown the wrong bitch out the window."

    That vid was awesome. I remember first seeing Smart cars in Sweden. They disburse the energy from a collision really well.
