Saturday Smart Cars Make Smart Parkers Photo: February 28, 2009

2009_0228_smart.jpg I suppose we can never be sure if the driver plunked down here on purpose; but it is clear that sally henny penny was in the right place at the right time to catch this Smart Car's incredibly photogenic parking spot.

The car is cute.

But beyond the cute, I don't really know why anyone would plunk down more than $14k for a car that delivers middle of the road MPG... and looks like a toy. According to most reviews, the thing handles very much like golf cart on crack.

The transmission is horrible.

I wonder who paid for the parking?

Saw one of these on I-95 in Maryland on Saturday evening. The guy was driving way too fast and reckless. Surely he would have been toast if he had gotten into an accident. That car is a coffin on wheels if you ask me. Just get a hybrid.
