the smart car is good for long trips.keep it in your trunk for when you run out of gas.

yeah .. how smart did the other guy feel when you guys get in the cars at the same time and you have a big smile on your face and he's thinking about his exciting ride home and thinking about your ride home?

It's used for speedometer accuracy checks...I work at North Hollywood Speedometer, we probably do 20-30 accuracy checks a week...usually people have gotten a speeding ticket and want their speedo checked so they can fight the ticket (90% of the time they WERE speeding!.

That reminds me of when the Yugo's first came out. I had a '57 Plymouth at the time and I was passing one of those Yugo's on the highway and it looked just like that. That whole car would fit in the passenger compartent of my '57!
