    haha - no seriously

    the person driving was a young teenage male - i always thought of the smart car as a ride for the older more "green" conscious crowd

    probably not an awful car to buy your teenage kid...

    i just think something like the small Scion makes more sense for the money involved

    not an awful car? it's a matchbox - i wouldnt feel safe letting an inexperienced driver fart around the dallas area in one of those - sudden stop collisions are the norm around here and i'm not sure you'd be able to pull anybody out of one of those

    they're just small enough that you could bury somebody in it though

    makes more sense than the overpowered top heavy SUVs that they can kill themselves and 5-6 of their friends in...

    I dunno - you see old people driving the big battle wagons - and why is that? so that when they inevitably hit somebody - they stand a better chance of surviving

    Re: Smart Car

    i would agree that Smart Cars might be cool if everyone drove them, then parking lots could be optimized for them or something too

    I saw this at my cousin's high school graduation. I thought it was hilarious.

    Re: Smart Car

    I live in Europe, and Smarts are extremely common here. I must see 20 or 30 on a slow day. I forget that they must still be rare in OK. (On the other hand, I see about 5 Hummers per year over here...)

    When I think of the demographic for a Smart, I see 20-something women.

    Frankly, their survivability in a crash is too suspect for me to recommend putting teenaged drivers in there. (SUVs are far, far safer for their occupants, not so much for those on the receiving end.)

    One note, here in Germany Smarts are VERY common as corporate cars. Not sure why. I guess they are inexpensive options for transportation, so they make sense.
    Nebraska and Oklahoma made up one of the greatest college football rivalries of all time. They played every year between 1928-97, and two times every four years since then. Their games in the Big Eight decided the conference championship 16 of 19 times between 1970-88. OU leads the series 44-38-3. --The Associated Press, December 1, 2010

    i'm sure fleet insurance is cheap for smart cars too.

    personally, till it transforms from a badass camaro into a walking talking robot with frikkin lazer beams, i won't consider it smart.
    There's few things in the world that can't be fixed by the liberal application of duct tape.

    Those who say winning isn't everything are the people you want to play against.

    Someone told me that they call it a Smart car because the materials can be recycled.

    Re: Smart Car

    I looked at one at the auto show. Gas mileage was not that good, it was more expensive than it should be, and the warranty was a joke. I don't see how anyone could justify the purchase.
