Mercedes Smart Car Drive *pics*

I'd rather shell out $ for gas in the my caddy then be caught dead in one of those. Driving one would probably be pretty lame.

I keep thinking about how that was on your mind the entire time you took you're written. Gotta wonder about you sometimes.

I'll proably have Bear Force One stuck in my head when I take mine.

Great for big cities. Not so much for little ones. Or Hartford.

If you're that concerned about mileage, might as well buy a Prius. Although the rear visibility SUCKS in the Prius hatchback. A lot of the more efficient cars seem to have really bad blind spots too (the 06 Civic and the Prius for two)

Yeah, and with the higher price of hybrids, it's probably not even worth it. As by the time you actually buy the Prius, you might pay whatever you pay for gas, in the price of the car.

Yeah, watched that before. Seems like it performs well, as long as you don't care about your legs or being able to walk :rolleyes:

In my humble opinion, this looks like we have the latest gimmick to hit the nation... someone is going to make a large amount of $$$ and in a few years once the warantee runs out they'll probably just break down. It's not really a practical car, as if you need to seat more than 2 people or carry anything and seat two people, your out of luck. And no mention of how it handles on snow and ice... So it's basically just the cool new toy of the day that everyone wants. But in a few years the craze will be over, Smart will have their profits and everyone will be moving onto the next thing.

Like a Subaru is not fast lol

Not the 173hp version. Its not slow, but it certainly isn't fast.

[screaming_emu]

Yeah I've finally accepted that my first car will probably be a Civic. Oh well, the more time I spend in a Civic is more time I spend in a Cessna, so its well worth it.

The civic is a great car. If you're looking for cheap reliable transportation. If you're looking for a race car....you're an idiot.

[Petertenthije]

Congratulations! You managed to drive a Smart in the USA and where not killed by an idiot in a BAFDT. You are now officially the hero of all of Europe!

It's still an ugly car though.

Whistlers are so funny !! I remember being in Frisco like 2 weeks ago and there was this old school Charger I think with a whistler. I was laughing like crazy for like 10 minutes. My neighbour's son has a Camaro with two folders cans on it. Now whenever he starts his car it's lauder than a freakin 737 taking off...

Jordan, next time you use a photo of me online, I would prefer that you ask my permission first.

We all know this is your picture Joe.
