This is entirely my opinion, but you look at the pictures and tell me what you think about the Smart Car.
The Smart Car is:
Cute
Gets Great Gas Mileage
Saves Money
Saves the Environment
However,
If had been near New Orleans
not too long ago
you might have seen
two trucks and a Smart Car
on the road
in an accident
which is why I
don’t think saving money
at the gas pump is worth it.
They are just too small
on roads that are occupied by
much larger vehicles.
Alicia @ One Mum's Musings says
Wow there is not much left of the Smart Car in those photos. I have always thought they were way too small to be safe.
Linda Kish says
Not any more, thank you.

I have always said no way to those I et scared in my Hyundai tuscon …I feel so bad for that drive OMG there is nothign left
Just Breathe says
OMG that is aweful.
Jenny says
Is that for real?!?! Oh my goodness! Yeah, I think they're silly and there's no way you'd catch me in one. It's like a shoebox on wheels!
Marie says
No I don't especially not after seeing that!
C. Rose Fisher says
Smart Car is an oxymoron. Nothing Smart about that photo.
Kim says
Those cars always make me laugh when I see them on the street or freeway! They look like toy cars, just waiting to get run over by the grown up cars!

First thought was "That's a doctored photo", but after really looking at that car, I don't think so. Shudder….
Ashley Ladd says
I don't think they're cute, but I like the save on gas part. But safety is a big concern. It scares me a lot that my oldest child rides a motorcyle on very busy, fast moving Ft. Lauderdale streets. I've started seeing some of these smaller cars this year and I imagine we'll be seeing more and more. But will we be able to eliminate huge trucks even if all the cars are small like this?

Oh.My.Goodness. I absolutely do NOT want a smart car at all. That looks horrifying to me. Plus, I don't know if I could fit comfortably. I like to feel comfortable when I drive. i do not like to feel claustrophobic.

That is very scary. We first saw these cars in Paris and they seemed so smart for city driving…maybe not for the highway though.

I'm a new follower!( a little late from the friday follow….but here 🙂
Wow……that is terrible! So many people drive them in NYC, they're the new "in" thing…….not I….just too small for a family gal :-)where on earth would I put the car seats? and the possy of stuffed animals that inevitably wind up in my van?…….and the ridiculous amount of french fries that are under the seat of my oversized mommy mobile? 😉 They just aren't safe, they should take those thing's off the road!
Could you follow me back?:-)

HOLY COW!!! Neither truck probably even SAW that little thing!! The one accident I was in, I was grateful I was in a Suburban!!! (It was the only thing that we could fit the family in and pull our camping trailer… Now I drive a Toyota Corolla.
They probably couldn't even FIND that driver. EWWW… I am SO grateful for emergency personnel! However, I could never BE ONE! YIKES!! And a policeman at a wedding I was shooting once told me I'd be a great crime scene photographer because I was shooting all the details of the wedding… NO WAY!!!
