edit: and..the price...I think I'd rather get worse mileage and be comforatble in a nice e36...

They're actually pretty cool little rides. They drive & handle like a Mini but lack the power of a MINI. We parked 2 in 1 parking spot (length wise), then parked 2 in front of a restaurant in 1 space but facing the sidewalk. They're like a high class golf cart

well...if they handle well they are ok I guess..are they uncomforatbly small inside though? I have seen similar things on the freeway...cus mexico is like really close..so occasionaly theres a tiny economy car..there funny

They're pretty roomy inside, I wouldn't load it down to heavily because of power limits. We were joking - if it had a couple of large subs in the rear, that it would get stuck to the grill of car/truck behind you.

lol..the convert one might be kinda ok..I wouldn't take one over like 60 though..I think I'd end up dieing..

I like the smart cars from my trips to europe. Somewhere there is a video of one getting crashed into a wall at a significant speed and it actually comes out in fairly decent shape, i will see if I can find it.

I love the Smart cars. But then again, I hate SUVs.

There's one in MO, Marcia Clark, a real estate agent has one. It's all decorated with "Marcia Clark Realty" bullshit. Cool car tho... never thought they would come to the states. Maybe if the Smart car works we'll get some of the other cars that were never released in the states.

yeah..they seem like they might be kind of cool..idk though since they are as small as they are..if it wernt for all the suvs and trucks I wouldn't be as hesitant about them..
