People really aren't buying these so much, it looks like. Will customizing help?

It got me to click on an ad for them yesterday. I think I could live without the convertible option, but I sure do like the notion of heated leather seats:

It's just a fantasy, really, having one of these myself. Presuming I could fit in one. In my fantasy it's my toolin'-around-town vehicle, which is what I do mostly, driving-wise. I could take it to Detroit & such, maybe via the U.S. highway, if I'm not in a hurry, and consider renting a car if for a big road trip on interstates, if the little bugger felt unsafe cuzza its relative size, and/or couldn't handle speed so well.

In the fantasy I get one that's new, and I maybe customize it with a wrap:

[custom smart cars b]


The first notion is some kind of psychedelia or fractals or something.

But I have practically forever to decide.

I knew someone with one, but not someone I knew well enough to ever be inside their car. I think they're cute. I get cranky when their owners pull all the way in to nose-in parking spaces.

I saw some folks in my work neighborhood photographing one in tight parking spaces. When they pull nose-in to the curb in a parallel parking situation, it's probably illegal, but it's also cute. And not irritatingly misleading, as is that situation you mention. :)

::nod:: nose in to parallel *is* cute. And I think one could be fun... but yeah, I'd need to be able to rent for longer driving things. Or have one as part of a two car household.
