Smart
Saw this truckload of Smart Cars on the way home, east side of SA. Shorty saw the same truckload on the west side of town. They were so cute and with the gas prices as they are, I thought maybe I should look into these.
And here I just commented somewhere else saying that it was unfortunate we didn't have any of those little cars here in the states. Apparantly they're all in San Antonio!
I saw these cars a few years back when I went to France. In Brussels they use them a lot as moving ads, all painted up to promote various business or products.
:) I think it's more like every twenty years slinger. It snowed a bit once in the last three years, but before that I was in middle school the one and only time it snowed enough that we could actually have a snowball fight.
I so want one of these...of course I would have to learn how to drive first.

ReplyDeleteI've been eyeing for this for the longest time..coolest design!
ReplyDeleteoh, i took a look in their webpage.they dont have automatic gear but there's no clutch either..
ReplyDeleteI would love to test drive one but if it's not automatic and it doesn't have a clutch....??
ReplyDeleteAw crapola! No automatic? Sheesh I can't even drive, much less a stick. :(
ReplyDeleteWhat on earth is that?!?!?! I'm not sure how good a vehicle like that would do in the winter months in Minnesota.
ReplyDeleteHey slinger—in the winter months in San Antonio, it would do just fine. :D
ReplyDeleteVery true. You get what, one snowfall every five years or so? I would bet we wont see many of those vehicles in this part of the country.

ReplyDeleteI miss snow. I have been here 11 years now and it has yet to snow a full inch for me in SA or Seguin. :(
ReplyDeleteIn italy, specially in the big city, it's usually see this car. There is an automatic version (I try to drive it ... it's unusual for me :) )
