Went to the gas station this morning and a SMART pulls up behind me.

Are the people that drive these thing programed to be dorks or what. I ignored him pulling up so close behind me, gas filler is behind the license plate, and he almosts hits me. He gets out and starts the conversation.

"Hey i had a 69 Chevelle, just sold it a year or so ago" Best decision i ever made, used too much gas, got me one of these" pointed at his SMART car.

I say "thats too bad" He looks at me, with a strange look on his face. He says 'Whys that"?

I told him i saw how unsafe one of those cars is, I had one destroy itself on the rear bumper of my Scamp when i had it. Hilarious, even the policeman that came to the accident was amused.

He says the randomness of being in a bad accident is worth it to the fuel he saves, and says to me, maybe you should think about doing that too.

I tell him "Hey i am being enviromentaly friendly, i am recycling". He goes "how"?

"By restoring this car, how many or our resources would be used up if they crushed this, sent it to japan, and spent the time and energy to make a defective Toyota out of it, that they would need to recall, and spend more money on trying to fix it?"

He didnt have a good come back for that, so just replied with a F You.

He was parked behind me at the gas station, with his window open, so when i left, i pumped the gas 2 or three times so i would flood it, cranked it and reved it so it would blow a cloud of "used up resources" his way.

I dont understand why someone would buy one of these things, it baffles me
 
MMMmmmmmm.....
SOOT!
Smells best in the morning,
Smells like........Victory!:cheers:
 
Should have replied to the F'you with a nice choke hold, and a "What did you say again?"

Either that or told him your car is a hybrid, it burns rubber and gas. ha, ha.
 
Two cars I will instantly cut off on the highway...a smart car (I call them TARD Cars, and VWs that say "geek squad" on them.

It's how I serve the community.
 
Well thank you for giving that idiot a mouthful of pure muscle. Dumb idiots like that need a good blast of raw horsepower in there face every now and then.

HAHA, funny, yeah, i think he needed a bit more carbon in his life.
 
i think full size pickups should be allowed to play soccer with them....
 
I keep hoping one of those will pull up behind me at a gas station. I wanna test a theory that I could throw a front snap kick on the top of the door and put the stupid thing dirty-side-up.

May have to research how many barrels of oil are used in making the 800 pounds of plastic that comprise a so-called "SMART" car...
 
ha....what a joke...every time i see a smart car, i just laugh...

Yeah, i just shake my head, how can you value your safety and sense of security so little.

Hey your from Gilroy, never noticed that, my wife grew up in Hollister(unfortunatly) I hijacked her from Modesto. Still go down there every few months.

I kinda liked Hollister, we went to her DeAnza college reunion a few yrs ago. I think we are going back in May or so.

Her Grandparents ran the Cinderella Motel there, and she raised horses in the back. I guess the new owners are jerks i have heard, kinda like SPART car owners, keeping on topic.
 
Dude I work in the oil industry and everything we use is made out of it. I dont care what you drive, ride or walk on your shoes are made out of the stuff!!!! It is in everything. It is the major contributing factor to our economy as well as the O factor :)
 
They crash tested one head-on w/ a heavy-*** Mercedes at a combined speed of like 60 mph, and surprisingly the driver of the Smart only suffered busted legs (based on the data from the dummy). They're not as death-trappish as they look. But I can't say I see myself ever driving one... and the attitude that seems to come as a standard option is rivaled only by hybrid owners :p
 
you just made my day, thanks.....

Yes I know why, Ink I know promised I won't show the pic of your new car you e-mailed me but....

They can skew the test results to say anything they want, but one of the most basic laws of physics is about mass and inertia, and the little car has NONE compared to the big, heavy car.

I got rear ended by one last summer, at a estimated 10 or 15 mph, its destroyed its little smiling front end, radiator and probably the gerbil wheel inside.
