Up here in big truck heaven my smart enjoys about the same dynamic as the author was expressing.... to date I think I got cut off and a 1 finger salute only once by a Escalde micro peter dude....all else has been fun, social, and I get a LOT of thumbs up responses peddling my arse as fast as I can down the highway....
for all the things I am disappointed about with this car, the "on the road camaraderie" seems genuinely nicer toward this micro car existing in a sea of behemoths
