SMARTcars ARE safe! I was wondering, should i buy one? All you hear is "yea wait till you get in a wreck!" Well i youtubed it, and they're just as safe as anything else. So if you're thinking of one, don't decide against it just because of safety.

That car is definitley not as safe as a larger car. The guy said that they were not as safe as larger cars, listen to the 1:54-2:00.

Lol. I'd like to see what would happen to one of those if a full-size truck hit it.

You don't want one for the simple fact that it takes premium gas just to make 70 hp. 91 octane or better.

You may not want to buy one, because you will be thought of as HUGELY GAY. Other then that fact, I would say go for it.
If you're gay, not that anything is wrong with that.....

you could put a busa motor in a goddamn shoebox and do 200 mph.. might as well keep the motor on a good looking bike rather than a gay little car.

Car looks like it would flip over easy.
I'd like to see the rollover crash test.

Naw, really I just like to see it get smashed! I hate that gay car!
Put it at the top of a hill and hit it at 100 mph with a full size truck and watch it fly!!!

Every time I see one of those things I just envision myself punting it through a field goal with my Escalade
.
Seriously though, I try not to be hostile towards those, priuses and other fag cars, because the more gas they save, the more left for me to waste!
