    its funny how things change

    I just read this...
    http://www.boston.com/cars/news/arti...Cars_More_News

    Didnt someone recently post here how the smart wasn't that safe, and one of our South African posters mentioned, they had seen multiple fatalities?


    Regardless, I'd like to see how it holds up against a full size pick up or something similar. (in a test situation)

    didn't that article say it was tested against a vehicle of similar size? So what was it a bicycle?

    I'd like to see tests against normal sized cars and land yachts (suv)

    I'm sorry, but I call total BS on that. If my Lightning hit that car at 40, from any angle, it would be crushed.

    David, I don't think your truck has ever been driven at 40, only faster. There are still burnout marks in my driveway!
