Pizza - did you meet the nice young lady that was at the Hyundai desk at the Spring meet ?
She had one of those Smart cars, and had just driven up from Montgomery, AL, about 100 miles further than I drove. ( for her, about 350 miles ). So I guess they DO drive them across the country.
Different strokes for different folks ......

( Wonder if there are tuning stuff for them ??? )

I can't believe they used the word "tame" in reference to the Dragon.

This is referred to as "Delusions of Grandeur".

It is pretty tame when you have but 700 cc's and don't exceed 5-10 MPH ......

Don't judge a book by his cover, there are smart cars out there that would blow away every car on this forum, including the 600+ HP SC V8 swaps

Here is a little (crappy quality) video of a BusaSmart (Hayabusa turbo motor) LOL

smart turbo with hayabusa engine - YouTube

Anything but tame.

I laugh every time one of those passes me on the highway... you're not getting any good gas mileage which I'm assuming is why you bought the car, and god help you if you hit something.

Ok. Where did they put it? I wouldn't want to be seen in one. I sure as he!! don't want to be seen on one!

It's like having the worlds best-looking woman as a girlfriend.

But she's 4" tall.

I know they are ugly and driving an OEM one is an absolute nightare, but if you ever have to run against an engine swapped one, you will be embarrassed LOL

And we all know what shortcoming those guys driving macho cars are trying to compensate for... so what does that say about us XF drivers?
