Let me see, Corn Field, Corn Field, Hay Field...

Nope no canals by my smart, Im good.

Lets see, I spent 3 years in Bloomington, and I don't remember any canals down their either. Stay away from the edge of the Quarys and the cutters should leave you alone

Something fake on Fox News - say it isn't so!

Nice commentary too: "...the local media (if they have one)..." and "...emasculating little cars..."

Holy crud!

Reason #137 not to watch Fox News. Smart car hating!! And that photo was so completely fake. I wouldn't have bothered looking (having seen the non-Fox reports before) if it weren't for the issue with that photo.

Blegh.

The don't call it FAUX NOISE for nothin'!

How could anyone be surprised by the attitudes expressed by these Faux News creeps?
And how can anyone take them seriously on any subject. They're the trash pit of tabloid 'news' channels.

And no, it was not this video which brought me to this conclusion ... just supporting data.

For a bunch of adults these idiots behave extremely immature by being amused and laughing thru it all
I just wanted to give you a + check mark but I forgot that doesn't exist here.
If I was a teen or younger I would find the whole thing amusing too.

What's the bottom line- park your car near a canal and then start selecting a new color smart?

Yeah, and I drive very quickly past this place Miller-Showers Park it USED to be a nice park between N Walnut & N College, but several years ago, Mayor Fernandez turned it into a mosquito factory - we now call it Lake Fernandez. City of Bloomington

And yes, I did notice that at least in ONE photo, the Smartie was nose down (the blue one in the middle of the canal)... And when I do watch Fox news, it's NOT THAT SHOW as they are mostly asinine celebrity-stalkers.
