- Hi Jeff,
-
- I suppose it was only a matter of time. I saw one
of these little death boxes almost two years ago. I was close to an intersection
and saw this very short car doing about 40-mph (not speeding) as it went
through an intersection with a very slight berm on the cross road. There
wasn't any kind of near collision or anything bad, but because the wheelbase
is SO short, when the car hit the slight berm of the cross road, it kind
of "hopped" over it.
-
- My immediate impression was "What a DEATH trap."
-
- I don't know anything more about the second picture below,
but I don't think it needs explanation.
-
- The page title of the SmartUSA.com homepage reads -
-
- "Smart USA open your mind to the car that
challenges the status quo"
-
- I'd like to offer an alternate page title "another
way to kill us off". That would be more like it.
-
- Yes, a STUPID, unsafe little Smart car.

- Of course, one could argue that if the red truck was
going fast enough with a heavy enough load, the same thing might have happened
to a normal-size car.
-
- But then again, perhaps the green cab truck was simply
backing up because the driver didn't see the itsey-bitsey beer can car
parked directly behind him. Either way, small cars lose.
