Thanks for posting that. I couldn't manage to get a good photo of it, so I didn't bother, but I made a bunch of copies for myself and others. Too bad it came out the DAY AFTER the NYC smart gathering.

I don't know.

We had a perfectly functional 11-yr old car with which we were fairly bored, and which did not have electronic stability control and only had two airbags. We wanted a convertible.

So we bought a smart cabriolet.

Fairly conspicuous extra consumption, in our case at least. Added yet another new pretty hunk of steel and plastic to the world.

I didn't post the original cartoon due to copyright concerns.
