#390 of 491 Re: If think the problem is the "promise" [gregg_vw] by stout7735 Dec 08, 2008 (6:29 pm)
Replying to: gregg_vw (Nov 24, 2008 5:35 am) My Smart should finally arrive next month...At 64,I have led a full life, so if a semi truck turns me and my Smart into a bouncing pinball, I will die knowing it is not as messy if I had been riding a motorcycle...The gas tank under the seat may even warm me up...I am not an environmentalist or adrenalin junky...I like the cost of ownership and negligible depreciation...Also, the smart is a future classic I can pass on to my heirs..The alternative cars will be scrap metal in 20 years...
#391 of 491 We have one.. by isellhondas Dec 09, 2008 (3:21 pm)
We have one on our used car lot that someone trade in after 150 miles. They just hated it and couldn't wait to get rid of it. I was going to ask if these cars can really be driven on the freeway and I read here about a poster who drives hie 80-90 MPH!! I'm not bashing them but for the life of me, I think I would rather walk!

Replying to: isellhondas (Dec 09, 2008 3:21 pm) It's definitely not for everybody, but neither is a Hummer. Freeway driving is no big deal. 85 mph or so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcump2Zx7SU Replies to this message: isellhondas (Dec 09, 2008 4:02 pm)

Replying to: bumpy (Dec 09, 2008 3:51 pm) When we had a Miata, I hated driving on the freeway with a semi alongside me or worse yet one on each side. I know I would be terrified in a Smart. No car is right for everyone but I can't think of a car that would be more wrong for me!

Replying to: isellhondas (Dec 09, 2008 3:21 pm) I was surprised to see in my town at one of our used car lots a Smart Fortwo. They have it parked by the used trucks and it looks ridiculous.

Replying to: joshuag (Dec 10, 2008 10:26 pm) A 1976 Honda Civic may also look ridiculous next to Pickups...Don't forget, the bigger the truck, the smaller the penis... Replies to this message: joshuag (Dec 11, 2008 1:15 am) snakeweasel (Dec 11, 2008 4:58 am)

Replying to: stout7735 (Dec 10, 2008 10:55 pm) Well, you know stout, the more someone talks about something, the more self conscience they are on the subject.

Replying to: stout7735 (Dec 10, 2008 10:55 pm) A 1976 Honda Civic may also look ridiculous next to Pickups I used to work at Internationals Corporate office, They had a couple of those CXT's parked there. Any car parked next to them looked ridiculous (or visa versa pick your choice). Anyway I still say that as a second commuter car (which many families have) the smart would be the perfect second car.

Replying to: joshuag (Dec 10, 2008 10:26 pm) Or perhaps with a different viewpoint, you could see how ridiculous piloting a truck around all by yourself as everyday transportation looks.

Replying to: joshuag (Dec 10, 2008 10:26 pm) A Smart looks ridiculous wherever it's parked! To me, they look like a cartoon car!
