Highway Driving

This is the first chance I'v had to get "Spot" out on the highway.
We were flying. Passing cars. Smooth as glass. No problems. Loved every minute of it. What a thrill ride. I love my Smart.

Yep, It is a Real car

I finally got to pick up "Squirt" today from Winston-Salem, NC, and it was all highway mileage home to Virginia. I was a little apprehensive at first but before I knew it we were rolling between 80 and 80 MPH - We got lots of waves and looks all the way home. We even passed the dreaded trailer trucks with no problems. We love the little guy!

That's the best way to break them in...

It's hard to keep the Smart under 80 pm the hwy

Just took ours on the highway for the first prolonged time (from RI to NJ and back again). He rolls along at 70 quite easily. When you hit an uphill, you definitely have to press harder on the gas and you can hear the engine grow louder, but he makes it up the hills okay.

It was a bit windy (gusting to 25MPH maybe), but nothing too obnoxious.

P.S.: Avoid NY highways. Specifically, Route 287 from 95 to the Tappan Zee Bridge. OMG, what a horrible stretch of road for a Smart car. We hit two different potholes so hard I thought the car would shatter...

How hard is to keep it between 80 and 80?
