How old are Smart Car Drivers?

[Jan in West U]

Old enough to know better (58). And young enough not to care what anyone thinks!

65-75 - Retirement, Wisdom, Relaxation, Travel, some aches and pains. Facing $ reality.

76+ - Slowing down in a big way. Getting grouchy. Poor. Weighing life's experiences.

All very accurate!

Parents always think they know what they're talking about....
....Until they try to prove you wrong about technology

Though my tenture as a SMART car owner will be demure..........I'm in the more supposed mature age category of current owners a half century or older.........lol

When I told someone who works for smart about this thread, he laughed and told me that in his opinion "kids drive minis but their parents drive smart." Loved it, since I haven't seen a truly young face driving a smart.

Also think we "old folks" need some kind of "Hi, fellow smart person" way to hail other drivers--kinda like the "slug bug" we used to say when we spotted a fellow VW driver years ago.

58 and 59 but 13 at heart.

Okay, I'm a geezer who doesn't own a Smart Car, but I'm thinking about it.

Like a lot of guys my age I've got a hankering to get a (fast) toy to play around with, something like a Harley or a Corvette. My wife isn't too keen on either one, so maybe a Smart Car with a couple hundred horsepower would be a nice compromise (and who says she has to know about the engine).

I'm guessing there are a lot of "boomers" out there who feel the same way I do. They wouldn't mind being seen driving around in a dinky (but cute) "eco friendly" car that's so easy to park, as long as it could blow the doors off of anything in town.
