Who voted on these?

People that aren't into cars? dont know, but a useless survey if they dont show what kind of people participated in voting.



But exotic car owners say different about the smart, could care less what anyone else thinks. The smart is the coolest little car in the world. In a way its a toy, but its very practical. It has a unique design and is not ugly in any way, it is what it is just like any other car except its half the size. And it may just offer the funnest driving experience out of any car.



...although those hubcaps have never been appealing...

People who do not drive any of those cars.

It “looks like I couldn’t afford a full-size car.” now that's funny.

It “looks like I couldn’t afford a full-size car.” now that's funny.

One of the common jokes I'd get is people would come up and ask me "Where's the other half of your car?!" My reply was always "In my wallet."

 

[Miss Mercedes]

I like to say: "I get the other half when I pay it off."

 

[Jet Provost]

That must explain the laughing people that pass me? Oh I hope my wife doesn't read this!!

 

[Miss Mercedes]

You know what they say, a man's car and a man's package size (I'm totally talking about logistics) are an inverse relationship. :wink:

 

[Jet Provost]

Wow those wings that were on eBay a few weeks ago for the Smart would really nail this category forever!!!

Its hard to be embarrassed driving any one of those cars if you don't give a crap about the superficial attitude of idiots and morons.

 

[TrekSmart]

So, the people who voted on these "surveys" have clearly never driven a smart. The reasons it's an embarrassing car to drive are "too small" and "not safe?!?" I'm with Raygun, idiots and morons.

 

[squatch]

Must be the same stuck people in their cute utes I passed in the snow going to work this am.

 

[Willy]

There are several cars in that list that I'd be proud to drive - including the smart fortwo! It is sad if people allow their choices to be swayed by this nonsense!

When will the American people come to the realization that BIGGER is not always better? Everything has it's' purpose. A single person driving 100 miles a day @ consistent 38 mpg with a briefcase does not need a luxury sedan, unless your wallet is bigger than your ego! OR, you're not paying for your own gas!
You wouldn't buy a Mack truck to run to the store for a gallon of milk...would you? Let's be practical, I own a four wheel drive vehicle that I use for pulling a trailer and for those bad snow days, and filling the gas tank is very wallet wrenching after driving our Smarts for MOST of our travels. My gas money savings bought our last Smart. Laugh all you want I say! People laughed at me in the 60's & 70's when I owned VW Bugs! If MB would have an aggressive marketing campaign and dealer network, they would be everywhere. Only now are we seeing half page newspaper ads for the Smart.

Seriously, let's keep a list of the most inane "lists" and do a 10 worst.

 

[BigWarpGuy]

top ten of the worst ten?

Seriously, let's keep a list of the most inane "lists" and do a 10 worst.

I think that is a good idea.

Haven't heard from you in a while KRA. Back in the USA?

Yeah, I was super busy packing my house, having farewell dinners with all my friends and co-workers. I shipped 21 boxes back to the states; I had to pack up my bicycles (bringing those with me me on the airplane went up to nearly $360 bucks!), clean up the apartment and I just rolled into town yesterday. First thing I did was buy some socks, because I didn't even have room for those! then I bought some good rye bread, and some good cheese (two things you can't get in Korea!)! Then I've just been chilling out with family. It's good to be back! I never thought that initial 1 year contract would stretch into 6 years! I'm taking a few week vacation and then I'll go to work somewhere, and hopefully get cracking on the Buckland B3!:wink:
