Paul Shanklin is going to have to update his “In a Yugo” to “In a smartcar”.

I often see the word “Smart” on the back of those cars and just shake my head.

But hey, they are doing their part to support the battle against GLOBAL WARMING; if only the Liar in Chief for that movement was driving that car then I’d be smiling but he drives nothing that give more than 8 MPG.

I agree that looks bad, although it might not be much different for a midsize or even a pickup. It’s hard to argue with 78,000# head on.

Just remember that even a Smart Car gives more protection than a motorcycle (which few loudly & frequently deride as all kinds of stupid).

An environmentalist would look at that photo and see a tragedy - not the loss of life, but the fact that diesel fuel is spilled all over the ground.

Don’t have a photo but a year or so ago I saw an SUV t-boned by a big rig. Didn’t look much different from that — very unlikely the SUV driver lived.

Looking at the way that tractor’s front axle is snapped, it’s obvious the little lawnmower put up quite a fight. Not that it did any good...

That’s a Volkswagen Crossfox. It’s quite a big larger than a Smart Car.
