I am pretty convinced that you can take just about anything, and someone, somewhere, is obsessed with it and thinks its the greatest thing ever.

I guess this couple realllly loves their smart cars.

I got in behind a Bug with those stupid eyelashes the other day. Yep, being driven slowly and poorly since texting was obviously more important than proper piloting of a vehicle. So I consider those a screaming warning!

Is there a picture of a smart driver wincing as the car shifts into 2nd gear?

This would be better if the number was 0.5

I see no flames, explosions, monster trucks crushing them or them being used for M1A1 tank practice.

Definately not the best photo ever.... besides, there's no Bacon.

Learn to drive one correctly and it shifts fine. This is a momentum car and quite fun when you use all it has to give.

Maybe they've fixed it, but I spent considerable time with the cars when they launched in the U.S. You had to let off the gas completely and let the transmission slowly find 2nd, then get back on the gas and continue.

I'm all for describing low powered cars as momentum, but IMO falling on your face going from first to second destroys momentum and forces you to drive around an obvious flaw. And it could probably be fixed with programming.

^ Hahahaha, would be better if the paint had the right texture though, I didn't get it at first because it was glossy. Maybe Plasti-Dip would be a good match?
