Article on "Christmas" smart

Good article in Charleston WV paper about a Christmas decorated smart. Maybe some ideas for next year?

The article is nice but some of the replies were not. One reply mentioning that the Smart would lose an encounter with a cat. Which is odd since the first reply is on how safe the little car is.

I have yet to figure out why . . .

I have yet to figure out why uninformed people feel they have to make spurious comments about something of which they have NO knowledge. It just amazes me~! It would be like me, knowing squat about airplanes, to comment negatively about someone's choice of his aircraft; or his boat, motorcycle, etc.
"It looks unsafe to me - ergo, it must be unsafe. . ."
Please forgive their closed minds.

Thanks! That's my car! It made the front page of the paper on Dec 23 and a local TV station. Giving credit where credit is due, all of the ideas - from the hat to the vinyl window clings - came from other SCOA members. The bow on the hood and stocking on the rear view mirror were just easy additions. I put a short video clip on CNN's iReport site if you'd like to see it: Santa's Little Helper stops in West Virginia - iReport.com

And, yes, ill informed opinions are plentiful! I made the positive post trying to provide some factual information after seeing the two uninformed feedbacks to the article (they are in reverse chronological order, so the negative posts came first).
