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.

Or perhaps with a different viewpoint, you could see how ridiculous piloting a truck around all by yourself as everyday transportation looks.

A Smart looks ridiculous wherever it's parked!
To me, they look like a cartoon car!

Oh I know and people buy them for that reason.
I wonder how they are in a strong crosswind?

to me more practical and safer than a motorcycle and for the most part cheaper too.

They perform fine on the expressway. Cute car, efficient and a much safer alternative to a scooter, motorcycle (or Hyundai Accent).

I saw a 250 pound guy in a suit driving a Smart, and believe me, that was far funnier seeing him in that over a truck. I couldn't stop laughing.

What's funny to you may not be all that funny to anyone else. Everything is funny (or not funny) given the perspective chosen. I guess you would have pissed your pants seeing a large man in a suit on a motorcycle...

this past summer I saw just the same thing except he was on a moped type scooter. Ive even seen women in dresses on scooters. One woman looked like she had a large belt wrapped around her legs to keep the dress from blowing up.
