It might be true that a Hummer is safer in a collision than a Smart car but the problem is we are running out of gas and it is getting more expensive day by day. The simple fact is VERY soon we are all going to be driving smaller and more economical vehicles. Americans are going to HAVE to change their thinking that they have to drive the very biggest car they can to be safe. Europe has already changed and we will have to also. Take a good long look at the Smart car. It's the future and it's coming sooner than you think.

My problem is rude posters like you whose communication skills are limited to phrases like "shut up." How pathetic. Enjoy your death trap, greggie.

It is obvious that you are too emotionally biased to be able to objectively evaluate the material that informedforlife.org makes available.

Funerals are actually even more expensive than gas.

You made your point long ago. You have nothing new to say, except for insults and sarcasm. You really are incorrigible. Anyone has to wonder why you are still here and what is your agenda.

BTW, priggly wiggly with your exceptional communication skills, I bought something other than the smart I had ordered. However, unlike you, I don't see the need to denigrate those who find that this car does fit their needs.

And why didn't you buy the fabulous "smart?" Was it the incredible two year warranty? OR maybe the fact it takes premium gas? Or was it the fact it gets a whooping 26 mpg at 70 mph, as reported by one owner?
Incidentally, I wasn't denigrating anyone. That is more your style.

I have a Smart car and driving back and forth to work and around town I have been averaging 40 to 45 MPG and on the highway I will get close to 50 MPG. You would have to drive the thing in 1st gear all the time to get 26 MPG! No matter what kind of car you drive there is always SOMETHING bigger. There are concrete trucks, eighteen-wheelers, Hummers, BIG pickup trucks. Does it make any sense to the conservation of fuel and the environment that to transport one person around you need a 5000 pound hunk of metal to feel safe. The simple fact is that unless americans move to smaller cars and change their wasteful with ways with our limited natural resources we are going to be forced to do it in the next few years anyway. Unless you make alot of money and even if you do do you really want to spend $200.00 a week on gas when gas hits $7.00 a gallon?
