I drove one for a week in Sigonella. It was a freaking blast, and you can park it like a motorcycle - it'll fit anywhere.

They're everywhere in Vancouver, I see a couple every day. Even that convertible is here. On the news it says there's a 4 month wait for them now.

Everyone makes fun of them, but they get off the line fine and seem to do ok on the freeway. Supposedly pretty safe even though they're so small. Doubt I'd ever buy one though.

how the hell can that thing be safe? does it come with a free set of the "jaws of life" with every purchase?

an impact from any end will leave u trapped - heck if u stop at mickey d's drive thru and pound ur #1 Supersized before you get out of the car u may have to have a can of crisco in ur passenger seat to help lube urself up!

That's true - we gots lots of em. The thing that bugs me is that they are fashion cars for rich 50 somethings with lots of dough who SUPPOSEDLY aren't all hung up on what they drive. BS. It's cos you get them at the Benz store.
If it was being driven by younger people or tree huggers as an affordable enviro friendly alterna-car that would be one thing. That's not who's got them though. It's kinda like seeing celebrities in a Prius and then in the gas sucking S/C Range Rover.

Every time one goes by I feel like I am watching some Moldy oldster go by in a pair of $1000 jeans artfully torn to look cheap and used. It's annoying.

Thanks for letting me vent.
