Actually I am old enough to remember the AMC Metropolitan. Quite a car for its time.

A friend had one back in the 80s. Got to drive it around a few times. BIG difference between that and the smart. You sit a lot higher in the smart.

Do you actually drive this with any regularity? I haven't seen one of these for at least a decade - I thought they had all rusted away. They seemed to have a little cancer problem didn't they?

I had one just like this.....My girlfriend and I would take it to the drive in and put her baby in back to sleep. Weird, though, I had too blow outs from the sidewall of good tires, too. Like Michilens.

I've always loved Honda 600's. I like the boxy version too (600N?). The Smart is still shorter than either one of those, but all in all the Honda is smaller I'd say. I nearly bought one about 6 months ago, but the one I wanted slipped away to another buyer. I'm still not over it.
