the wreck was obviously not a smart.

i dunno, i was offended. way to promote negative stereotypes about small cars. almost slanderous in a way...

It's a TV show, as in fiction...

trouble is, j, many people can't separate between the two. you see a mangled car, they say it is a 'smart type' and in the back of your mind it just adds on another coat of lacquer to the belief that smart's are death traps. the thing is, there really was no point to that line, it was just thrown in there. i like the show and i don't even own a smart, but the line just felt out of place.

People it's a CAR! I don't think VW is really worried about Smart cutting into there car sales considering there's only 1 Smart dealer every 300 miles and there's a VW dealer every 30 miles. Heck I worked for the Postal Service and after all the jokes I was beginning to think that it was mandatory for us to carry a fully automatic sniper rifle.
