    Default Smart Car

    Never even heard of one of these until I came out of Target and saw the thing parked next to my Excursion. The combo of a 7.5 ft tall Excursion and a Smart car parked next to each other was making people laugh when they walked by. These things are freaking tiny! They are 2 seaters and let's just say I would NEVER want to be in an accident in one of these. The seats sit less than a foot away from the back bumper.

    The angle is deceiving... I think the truck is taller than that car is long! It took up very little of the parking space it was in.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

    I rented a car that size in Marsailles a few years ago. It was surprisingly adequate.

    I would not want to drive one on our Texas highways though.

    You should have tossed in the back of the Ford, and used it for a pitter at the track.

    The hitch and the bike might weigh more than the car?

    You know what this reminds me of?

    Harry got in his car
    and turned the key
    Started up and headed up the L.I.E.
    Too cheap to get a real car
    he had a Volkswagon Rabbit
    And that put an end to Harry's cheap habit
    The trucker couldn't stop
    so the driver just took aim
    And when he hit Harry
    Harry burst into flames
    You're dead now Harry
    You can't come back
    Still be alive if you drove a Cadillac

    Where is the kickstand???

    Chubbles, those things dont get good enough mileage IMO if you're concerned with that. arent they rated around 40mpg?
    a hybrid would smoke it and you wouldnt be driving a golfcart on steroids. that being said, you'd look good in one... go for it. have the #7 painted on it.

    Naw, Mr. Kustomtattooz would be far better off with one of these:

    Looks could be better, but they are good enough and it's a plenty trick design. 65mpg city 80mpg hwy.

    Oh, and it has a kickstand.

    Yeah, it has multiple sickness factors going for it.

    Which is why it would fit Chubbs so well.
