While you wait... Drive a virtual smart.

I don't know if this has been posted yet or not, but I just ran across it. Just click play after it loads, choose your design and course to drive.

play > smart

I wish I could download that on my iPhone, that way I could take advantage of the accelerometer and play whenever (& wherever) I want.

Fun, but I found the arrow keys backwards to me -- I had to press my left arrow key to make the Smart turn right, and vice versa. The "up" arrow made the Smart go forward. So it took a long time to get things to work right. Consequently, my first course looked like a paint spatter!

Use the other view behind the smart and it works ok. Guess they thought the Japanese needed driving lessons

What do you mean by "the other view behind the smart"? I'm confused.

Default view is where you've been. Other view is where you're going. Bottom right hand corner of the screen you can change the view. Default view has the keys all backwards and it's annoying as hell. As soon as I changed the view the game became painfully easy. However that didn't stop me from playing it for 30 minutes.
