Any Smarts close to Martinsville / Morgantown

I really need to find out how well a Smart Car will do coming up my driveway. My driveway is steep and long. I can come up in a Dodge Neon (Front Wheel Drive) OK, but I would like to find out before I purchase a Smart Car. It would lose some joy parking it down at the bottom of my drive. If anyone is close and would drive up my driveway, I would really be thankful.

Are you talking clickety-clack roller coaster long and steep? Even so, I'm betting the smart will handle it.

Now if you are covering the drive in ice, oil or whatever, bets are off...

I don't know if you got any response, I live in the Bedford area, but work in Bloomington. I could probably come by once the weather clears up and see how she does. I would think if the Neon makes it up, the smart would do just fine.
