Why You Shouldn't Buy a Smart Car

[robcarync]

Don't you feel more secure now that your Xterra is 5000+ lbs?

when i was in high school people wanted to do that. kinda messed up that someone actually did though. yeah they're ugly as wet dirt, but it's still someone's means of transportation

We had a friend with a vw bug that we'd pick up and turn sideways in parking spots, or lift it over the parking stopper, or just move it across the parking lot. She was never surprised to find her car missing lol.

when I was in high school there was a girl that drove a geo metro convertible and we used to go and pick up the rear end of the car and move it around the parking lot from time to time. It sounds really mean, but we all used to prank each other on a regular bases.

 

[robcarync]

Hahaha...yeah tipping it over is pretty messed up...putting it on their front porch on the other hand would be pretty funny....

 

[Jack Stilts]

I cannot stop laughing at this.

Yes, it sucks, they're terrible people, blah blah blah. But that's just d@mn funny.

Come, now. Lets be nice to the Smart Car. It's not his fault he's working with a 3cyl 1 liter.

I had a good laugh when I saw that. I'd be pissed if it was mine but I'd already loath myself for driving one anyway.

Its funny but its bad, and that's difference between kids today and kids before before they would move the car haha no damage they would talk about tipping but wouldn't do it because well its wrong. Today they just do it and don't give 2 sh*ts what damage they are causing to who. I am seriously tired of being associated with this generation of kids. (P.S.) one time we ramped a girls smart car into the back of a pickup because they both were juniors and parked in the seniors lot. No damage to either car but it was funny when they came out.

Nah, all the generations included people who would roll your rig into a lake for a laugh AND those who would just hide it, etc.

Agreed. It just gets on the news more now...


I sat in a smart car once. No thanks. I could barely breath.

 

[mac11]

sorry not sorry

 

[Prime]

Yeah. I'm guilty of that as well. There was one time in HS that we lifted the rear end of a guys car and put the rear axle on blocks just tall enough so the tires wouldn't touch the ground....... After we moved it..... Clear to the other side of the parking lot......

/guilty

That's way more devious. Worst I ever did was help set a vw bug on a picnic table.

My personal fav was a retractable key chain on the drive shaft.

The guy gets in, and starts the engine, every thing is fine, and then as he drives, and the centripetal force builds with shaft rpm, the chain starts to extend far enough to start whacking stuff...but when he stops to see what all the racket was about, the chain has retracted again...and they can't see what was going on, decide something might have been caught and fallen back off (As the noise DID stop as they slowed down...), so they get back in, and it starts up again.


It goes on almost forever unless they know/finally figure out the gag.

The worst I did was jack up a friends vehicle and lower it onto the tires. By his i mean you jack it up remove tire lower it onto tire and repeat. They wake up to go somewhere and have to install all 4 tires.
