They are not smart. Maybe they are fuel efficient, maybe they are easy to parallel park, but they are absolutely ridiculous in traffic. I want to know the statistics on wrecks in these things. No, I don't mean the statistics of the safety of the vehicle if involved in a crash; I mean the percentage of them that get in accidents.
They are abundant in the DC metropolitan area, and I was very disturbed to find out a few days ago in traffic (on my new commute) that the tiny little thing fits in my blind spot. Yes, I do mean fits quite literally. It's ridiculous. It was quite a close call. Smart cars = NOT a smart buy if you're planning to be on a road filled with average sized vehicles. It's like putting a small child in a mob of obese adults all by it's lonesome. I mean, seriously, the child would get crushed.
Hence, do not buy a smart car if you want to be my friend. :)
Yes... I will update the blog soon with pictures of the place and all my recent activities. This one is just a brief rant before I leave the office so Amber will pay me. Yes, I am now paid to blog.
Thanks, and goodnight!
