Oh ****. I didn't realize it was a real dude... That's a clip from the movie Kids. Would not have posted it if I knew that.

I love my Smart Car. I've had it since 2008 and have never felt unsafe in it. I get the deathtrap comment all the time. My favorite is when people on motorcycles make safety comments...

Last week I drove a Smart with a Turbo... 1800lbs and about 125hp. Very fun.

There is a site where people can post their accident stories. The fatalities have been low for the vehicle...

The dummy in the Benz seemed like it was just chillin' there. Funny how it didn't really move at all.

lol ya Jer you were the first person I thought of when I saw this post.

I remember about 4 years back I was at a meet and a guy that just bought an EVO put a cage in it, I asked him if he knew it was pretty dangerous to have a cage in a street car, he laughed and said. " Hell, Ive been riding an R600 as my daily driver for the last 4 years, this thing might as well be an Abrams tank!"

I didnt really have much to say about it after that
