Damb.

That product does need some help, though. Like actually getting good gas mileage, etc.

It needs to be completely scrapped.

To be fair, it was on a bumpy road, but the driver looked very nervous seeing me approach in his rear view. He knew I would be passing him. Hard to explain, but I think he was embarrassed.

That wasn't embarassment, it was the pale green hue of a wave of queasiness that washed over him when he realized that within moments he and his passengers would be looking at YOUR rear view.

I passed one while riding my bike last week. It had 4 people in it and was struggling with the load. Engine sounded like shit.

NO! I like it because it is so easy to spot the most clueless, dumbest liberal douchbags out there on the road.

Why are they clueless?

Some interesting smart car stories here:

And there is a You Tube video of a test where they run one into a cememt barrier at 75 MPH. And the doors still open and close.

If you own one you are a tool because you paid 25k for a geo metro

Oh yeah? You're a fucking idiot and it shows. Here's a REAL WORLD TEST:

There is absolutely no fucking way anyone in the Smart Car would survive that crash. Everyone in the other car would walk away.

Interesting that the passenger compartments in both vehicles were still intact after the collision.

So it makes the bodies easy to extract. Big deal. The G forces the people in the Smart Car would encounter would be fatal. Watch the video. The Mercedes slowed down. The Smart was sent straight backwards and then rolled.

Two fatals in the Smart and maybe some whiplash in the Mercedes.

The G-forces would have been about the same in regular car.

Why not? The compartment wasn't smashed. The dummies would have been missing limbs or something if it was a deadly accident.
