To the people who say the car is so small it doesn't even fill up a lane... I say "You've never driven one in the wind".

My other cars are 35 and 40 foot limousines. You only have to correct them every few miles to keep them straight. Ha.

With all the anoying wind we've been having here in Ohio I've already been looking at buying a small wind meter for the back yard with a remote monitor in the house. Then I can decide on what my threshold is for just leaving Eric at home and driving the truck!

Seriously!

I mean fun is fun but being an old Vanagon driver from way back, I've already had my fill of being knocked around on the freeway.

I know when I drive in high winds, it feels like the back end is drunk. I can't wait until I hit enough miles to constitute getting me Michelins. I had the sway feel in other cars, and when I swapped over to the BIG M. It went away. These smart tires from the factory to me are very cheap. But I can't afford to toss them out and get new ones. So I will deal with them.

ALSRAC: sorry about that, had to take our son back to ESU while his car was in the shop. We'll be back down in May for graduation.

Esugrad, don't worry hopefully we'll meet the 21st in KC and then when you come in May we meet again here, let us know when you know the day so we can invite the other Smart that lives here in town, we might have a 3 Smart meeting.
