I don't know why that guy was risking his life to save a couple of gallons of motor fuel. It is a city car only. No matter what regulations it can pass. You can't beat the laws of kinematics, however, you CAN die trying.
Look at the EPA ratings on them, they aren't any better than a similar cobalt/civic etc. I haven't found a good reason yet to buy one.

The screen goes black and the words "GAME OVER" appear. Have fun finding that reset button.

i thinks its the hood but on these things the latch is on the outside and it completely comes off. its just a sheet of plastic so if you want a smart car hood. just pop the ;atch and jack it. hell if you got 2 buddys to come along you can just carry it

That's the issue with the smart... low mass, short wheelbase, and tall. Very easy to make it go spinning on its side.

I think the smart looks better after the collision though

This too. For how small they are, the mpg is really sad.

I like how in about 1:22 of the clip you can see the MERC emblem fly off the car and rotate as it goes out of view. That is pretty cool.
