Replying to: scwmcan (Mar 25, 2008 7:35 am) I'd be willing to wager a sizeable sum that if the Venture actually makes it to production that it will be reviewed by every publication out there, considering it gets 100mpg AND is a hybrid. Google it and a lot comes up considering it's not available yet and I expect that when it is any flaws will be shown up by journalists driving the snot out of it as they are wont to do.  Safety is an issue but I think it should be at least as safe as a modern motorcycle. I will test drive the smart probably next week. the problem is the nearest dealer is now sold out.  So we shall see. I would really like a diesel in something like the Smart. OR one that has a Hayabusa engine in it like on YouTube  My gosh that has to be the fastest smart on the planet!

Replying to: tiff_c (Mar 25, 2008 7:24 am) That brings up the question, if it is legally a motorcycle will you need a motorcycle license to drive it?

Replying to: snakeweasel (Mar 25, 2008 1:35 pm) All of this talk about the Smart's transmission got me to thinking... How hard would it be to install a fake clutch pedal in the car so that it would be easier to initially drive? Another idea is that the clutch at some point trips a solenoid, right? Why not re-wire this to one under the dash and attach a clutch pedal to that? My old 1967 Mercedes did exactly this. No linkages at all - just a switch at each end and a soleniod. Press the pedal and click - clutch engages. Release, click - disengages.
