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

Yeah...but if someone's gotta hit my 3/4T truck, I'd prefer they were driving a Smart car. Or something of similar mass.

you couldn't pay me enough to drive around in a smart car, or anything else with less mass than my trucks.

smart car my ass, lets see how smart it is when you collide with a full sized truck buddy. they have a crash cage, yes they do and testing show the lack of crumple zone will csause all your internal organs to explode.

the frame on my truch will catch that little car about halfway up the hood and pulverize everything from that point on,

snow strom, full sized trucks, semi trucks there aren't enough gas savings in the world that makes the smart car worth the bodily harm that will come to you in a serious accident.

seeing as my average trip to sam's fills the 8 foot bed of my truck you can also bet I would not be surprised at how much room they have

VW TDi. Golf, Jetta, Passat, pick your poison.

They are ALL less embarrassing than a Smart Car.

I think what bugs some folks about "Smart" cars is the name. It implies that other vehicles are not smart. Typical lefty thinking: our idea smart...your idea dumb.

Guys like Pook and I would be hitching for a ride in the first snow storm up here in one of those go carts. Not smart.

What's your poison and when can I buy you a round of it?

[LOL]

Notice I said "if" I lived in a city.

I couldn't drive one of those on my driveway without high centering.

Ugh, you're one of those guys that declares they ONLY feel comfortable in an SUV for a rental. I once had a guy ask "What if it snows?" Well, you live in Westminster, and it is the end of May. You don't NEED an SUV for anything other than you want it.

Well, Smart cars are actually quite big fuckers in Rome these days...
It is getting impossible to park anything bigger than that...
This in the pic is a 50cc's IIRC...
