Smart car

[GarageAlchemist]

Matt and i saw a smart car a couple times on saturday, once in the bowler parking lot, and once driving west bound on 13th ave by Taco Johns. It had SD plates, anyone else see it, or know who owns it? I thought these werent legal in the US yet.

Isn't that about the same thing as a Honda Fit, Chevy Aveo, etc? They all look like a death trap.

Acually, ive heard they do very well in crash testing, better than alot of big cars...
seen a few running around the cities, and i rememebr they were all over in canada
i want one!

[beachbum_jon]

was it silverish and red?, there is a doctor in aberdeen that has one...personaly i think they are ugly

0-60 in 17 seconds FTW

they would do awsome in a crash! being so small makes structural rigity very easy,kinda like its easier to snap a twig that is 6ft long rather than 6in long

ya they do good in crashes saw a couple of videos of them hit brick walls did better then i thought it would. easy to park .

No, that's a Fit or a Yaris, or something of that nature. It's got 5 lug nuts. The Smart Car only has 3 per wheel.

And on a side note. I don't care what you're in, but when you come head to head with a Semi....it's lights out.

I'm not sure if this is the one but there has been a Doctor from Aberdeen driving a Maroon and Silver Smartcar around for about a year.
