Actually did well.

That's about all they are good for. They should be the new standard for testing concrete.

TheDon 05-26-2007 01:08 PM

That wont buff out

I thought that little car did suprisingly well considering the lack of any realistic front end.

Nobody survives a crash into concrete at 70 mph........even if you're in an SD.

For general city use, it appears to be a fine vehicle.

Golf Cart use also.

I think they make fine golf carts, and would even be suitable, as a "Get around" at a race track, in the pits, or in field. That's about all I'd use one for though.:D

I, for one, really like them. Check this video out...

At least they are RWD. Engine is located under the floor in the back of the car. Just like a Porsche. :wiseguy:

But really, they seem to be intended for younger peoples in big cities, which they seem pretty apt for.

Why did they have the windshield wipers on when no one was driving?

Dubyagee 05-26-2007 07:06 PM

They weren't on, the lil' fella was scared and was waving for help..

Mistress 05-26-2007 07:34 PM

That's what i thought...

GermanStar 05-26-2007 07:49 PM

As I recall, the smart fared considerably better than Motorcycle vs. Concrete...

Jim B. 05-26-2007 08:05 PM

They didn't do so well in an offset crash with an S-class, though

Too bad we don't have any of those tiny cars around here... Looks like something that we'd have fun carrying into the cafeteria at school every few days :D
