Drive by shooting in a Smart car!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr19datx3-0&feature=channel_video_title

What a hilarious little car, a bit small for drive by's but it is serviceable.

Top Gear determined that the Mercedes SLS is the best car for drive by shootings and I still think that is true.

Jeremy Clarkson would be pointing it at the car instead.

Hmmm, not something I would expect to see doing a driveby.



Now, if it were a 'busa Smart, it would have some power to actually evade people in other cars.

I might expect to see one in a drive-by appraisal.

it was funny alright; for my buck for running around in the woods, I'd take either a Jeep or a Hummer.

Yeah, the woods are not generally that good a driving surface. Most of the roads I've driven in the woods were not as clear and free of mud and debris as where he was driving.

What the hell was he shooting at, anyhow? Nothing as far as I could tell. At one point he seemed to be shooting at some sort of little black targets and hitting everything BUT the targets . . .

Exactly, what was he shooting at? The trees?

He said something about intruders. I guess he meant poison ivy, creeping vines, ants, and squirrels . . . those pistol shots out the passenger side window looked pretty wild and totally random. I wouldn't want to be living on an adjacent piece of property from that guy!

Didn't you hear the man say a Smart Car was essential for keeping a lid on all the ne'er do wells that frequent those woods?

God speed, brave warrior, God speed.

But wait, did he 107 mpg highway? First I've heard figures like that.

Think about it for a minute; witness the fact that most people drive wildly and randomly. Then place a loaded AK47 in the hands of one of these wild and random nut jobs.........and what do you get?
