digifox said:Keep your trucks and get a smartcar...those little things are awesome
about 50MPH
Top speed 90MPH(governed)
seats two with LOTS of room
ONLY about 14K -+
Plastic body is changeable (different color)
Reminds me of a bike....and within 2 years they hope to have a family Smartcar out
I still wouldn't own it, no matter how confident I am in my manhood.smart car website said:The 2008 smart fortwo achieved the highest ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for front and side crashworthiness. We encourage you to see for yourself how the smart performed in the tests conducted by the IIHS by visiting www.iihs.org.

digifox said:The smart car is build like the cage of a top-fuel dragster...meaning that the chassis is a aluminum pod..the "body" is the whole chassis...no sub-frames or chassis that it gets bolted to...
Its one of those cars that when you hit someone your worried about them..not yourself
The only "lethal impact" for them is a Solid brick wall.
That just going to turn you in to Person-patties though..
Sounds like someone might need to open their mind a little and do some research. Smart is engineered by Mercedes Benz who happens to know a little bit about vehicle engineering and even physics. Of course those sneaky Germans might just of figured out a way to change the laws of physics or maybe they just engineered a better mouse trap to deal with the existing laws of physics. My speculation is the later.mkelly04 said:Sounds like someone really needs to take a refresher course in physics.
Head on a smart car vs anything lager then a midsized car the smart car will lose.
Smart car vs a full size truck the smart car will lose very badly. I would venture to guess that any head on over 20mph with a smart vs truck would be fatal to the smart car occupants.
Scrap metal prices are higher than that.Cabot said:They only gave me a trade in value of $261 for my truck. I'm offended!
