smart on CBS Sunday Morning

Don't see the video on their website yet, but Bill Geist did a couple of pieces on small cars this morning, featuring smart center Buckhead and Bruce Weiner’s Microcar Museum:

GEIST (Two Parts): Downsized
With gas prices sky-high and carbon footprints the size of King Kong’s flip-flops, everyone is talking about downsizing, including Bill Geist. In his quest to downsize, Bill looks into his options for a smaller car, a smaller house, and even downsizing his vacation, and discovers it can be a small, small world, indeed, with houses so tiny they can fit in a parking space, and cars so small you can probably fit four of them in a parking space.

i saw the story on TV this AM as well. great story. i thought my wife was going to pee her pants when he was driving through Krogers!

but being the sensitive man that i am, i told her "Honey, you can rest assured that the smart is the SMALLEST car that i'll EVER want to buy!"

BTW, the next time i'm driving though Georgia, i HAVE to stop at his museum! looks awesome......
