I saw three smart cars today, in town. I've seen two of them, on many days, but never three before. I didn't even cheat and go drive past [livejournal.com profile] joymoose's house to count her neighbour's (the Jesus Car. It's plastered with ads for a Christian radio station).

Two of them had personalized plates. One said SMAR10 UP and the other said XXXXXL .

They're so cute.

Hey D--I have this video somebody emailed me of a SmartCar being crashed into a wall, demonstrating how well it survives the crash. It's pretty cool stuff. Should I forward it on to you? (3339 KB).

Oh, that would be awesome. Sure. :)

Wow. That's some amazing passenger cage. :)

In addition to the 70-mph version, some time I'd love to see a more sedate 45-mph crash, or whatever safety inspections actually use to determine whether passengers live. Since it's clear they removed airbags and didn't put in a dummy since this was totally over the top. So to speak.

The Jesus Car is so awesome. It didn't occur to me that it lived somewhere, though.

There's another one out there with the plates "MY SMART"

I prefer companies that use Smart Cars to do their advertising to those who use H2s (Zekes, that dance radio station). It's all demographics, I suppose.

Zekes has a H2?! ugh. And I've actually been there. ...I suppose I could take advantage of the fact that I haven't been to a LUG meeting in eons and tell Zeke's that I'm boycotting them because they have a Hummer.

(I'm probably continuing my string of absences from the LUG. I'm not boycotting it, I'm just going to probably be packing Monday night).

There is that one that's right up the street from our house...

Yep, I think that was one of the three.
