San Francisco is over-run with people car-tipping (Smartcars!)

And since you drive a smart, your ass cannot be as fat as you think it is.....

I'm no hardcore prepper, but I do have something of a prepper's mentality. Especially when it comes to machinery. Last year when I was getting the front end of my truck rebuilt, I borrowed a friend's Buick sedan. Cue a flash flood with golf ball hail. I refuse to drive anything that might leave me up a creek in inclement weather or circumstance. If TEOTWAWKI comes tomorrow during my lunch break, I wanna know I have the means to get where I need to go.

Also true. But again, I don't think these SF vandals are using pry bars or jacks. These seem to be crimes of convenience and opportunity.

No big deal. All it takes is a very small a**hat with a key.

Scooters are often "practical," but I will still never own one.

You'd be surprised how much room there is in there...

Smart cars make me chuckle. Lots of other things I'd rather drive in the name of fuel economy. But living 3 miles from work lets me keep my transportation options open.

Sounds like the perfect opportunity for a COAR get-together...to lift your Smart into the bed of your F250 when you're not looking.

Take the seat out of any of the crew cab truck and put the car inside the passenger compartment!

I remember in 1999 when the Super Duty Crew cab Ford's came out, we measured one and you could fit a Geo Metro in the cab if the center door frame wasn't there.


Back in high school the Principal drove a old (then new) VW Super Beatle. The football team put it on top of a snow bank at the end of the parking lot.... that was funny!

I was going to suggest that a smart car might even fit in a Ford Ranger bed, but I was surprised to learn that a Smart car is 61 inches wide and 106 inches long - Bigger than I thought.
