car show

Absolutely… now, don’t forget to wear your helmet when you drive your Corolla, and knee pads, and maybe you should hire an escort of Hummers with armed guards… pffffffffftttt… I **** to tell ya, dingaling, but if you check you’ll find that the Smart Car, Mini Cooper & similar vehicles have much beefier passenger compartments than that Toyota you think is so safe. The integrity of the passenger compartment is much more important than the size of the vehicle.

I’d rather be on a motorcycle.

11,500?!?! That’s way too expensive. I’d stick with a civic or corolla. Not to mention it’s a total chick-mobile

The name Smart comes from the two companies who paired to start this car. Swatch and Mercedes paired to creat this vehicle. Because of it’s design and color choices they considered it art. Therefore you get SMART, Swatch Mercedes ART.

post this on ten other videos a couple of years ago,2 parents were having dinner together,and the babysitter called to cover up the clown statue.the dad said,take the kids and call the police.there is no clown statue.so eventually the clown was a killer.so if u dont send this message to 10 other videos,the clown will be next to u,holding a chainsaw

I hope they would explain why those cars are called the “Smart Cars”. I can only figure out “Small Cars” to be a better fit for the name.

Garage Storage, Cabinets, and Organization

Nothing wrong with big cars. They are safer, not to mention they are made in hybrid versions now. If you want to save gas ride a motorcycle or a scooter. I’d rather get in a wreck on my bike than in a smart car.

Italy is full with these cars…

Too bad Americans are obsessed with stupid monster vehicles.
