I swear to God, this bimbo yesterday asked me if that was a solar powered car, while I'm putting gas in it! I smiled and said "Yes it is, I'm putting some liquid sunshine in it right now." She smiled and waved and drove away.

They are smarter in Texas, had someone ask me, "Is this your car", while I was sitting at a stoplight. I was too stunned by dumbness to respond.

I wonder if those people driving the Smarts on the Road Show were asked the same question much. It's a new enough car that a few people think it's some sort of prototype and you're a company rep.

Of course you could of replied, "Nope, it's my bank's until I finish paying it off."

I get asked if it's electric at least twice a day as a minimum.

i got the exact same thing a couple weeks ago, right down to being at a BP. some people just don't have a clue.

I got the 'Is it electric?' question while at a BP gas station with the Prem gas nozzle in the car. I wanted to reply...'yes...it's electric but I can't kick that gasoline habit!'.....

(for those with Sirius radio - Blue Color Comedy channel - will know what I'm talking about).

Had an older (at least than me) gentlemen in a Chevy Malibu shout out, "What do you use to fill that thing up, an eyedropper?" without missing a beat I shouted back " . . . pretty much as its gets 48 mpg"

50K? Forget the batteries, at that price they should be including some lithium for the driver, too!
