Smart car squished between 2 trucks...not!!!

I don't know about all of you, but I'm tired of getting this email from friends telling me how "Unsafe" our Smart car is. Here's that dreaded picture:

Here is the response I found to that picture that you can send to everyone!

Enjoy! I know I did!

Welcome laurie

That picture has been part of a heated one sided discussion for a few weeks now (in our smarties favor)

Check out the thread that jwight posted as there are a few other pics that people will most likely mention to you or even email. NONE of them are smarts. The VERY few smarts that have had fatalities, the cars "look" remarkable well for the most part compared to some other cars.

Keep on posting and welcome!
