If I Don't Play Golf Saturday.............

......I am gonna go test drive Smart Cars.

I am so fascinated with these little cars. I want to see (A) if I can fit, (B) if I can be comfortable and (C) the look on the salesman's face when I ask to test drive.

MPG will drop to 3.

You started it.

In semi-related news I sat in a Mini for the first time at the last car show in Montreal. Thing is ridiculously cramped inside and I'm only 5'11". Do not want.

Smarts are supposed to accomodate 6+ footers easily.

When we got back from Mississippi and returned the van they had one at Avis but the guy at the counter wouldn't give me the key to the Smart Car to go get in.

 

[Matty]

More interested in the Mazda 2 as far as city driving goes. Hope that some rental companies pick it up.

you mean the supped up pavement racers?

Seriously Pavy is very tall, long legs. thick greek cock. I'd like to know what kind of cars/vehicles he has found comfortable

 

[senco78]

I dont remember what kind it was but I do remember him saying it got like 47 MPG

it may have been a average size car but pavy made it look small... cool car none the less

I wish they sold the Renault Fluence here actually... Not a bad looking electric.

wonder how they would feel if you ripped out the front seat and drove from the back seat? ala Bubba Smith in police academy

They would feel like I was remodeling it cause there ain't no backseat, The reason for so much leg-room is the front seat is pushed back to the rear axel.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

As much as I'd like to curb emissions and all that do gooder stuff, I just can't see myself driving in one of those things.

Until something resembles a normal car with a fair amount of range, I won't be owning one. I would buy that Renault though.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

A Tesla is an option too. I'm not sure what their waiting lists are like any more.

Has a Maserati look to it.

 

[wal66]

The Smart Car is a gas powers car. It's a 3-cylinder vehicle that tops out in the 100 mph range that gets 41 mpg.

I'm not sure they actually can do 100 mph unless it's downhill down wind. I also know that even though it comes standard with air-bags it really doesn't matter, a head-on collision even with a 10-Speed will likely crush you to death inside this little casket on wheels.

Right. The whole point is that it cuts emissions. Electric cars don't cut emissions 100% either as fossil fuels need to be burned to charge them.

If I were going to do it though, I would buy electric. No worries about price wars, oil spills, tanking dollar, inflation, etc.

 

[Archie]

Wal, I got two 15 passenger vans for sale if you are interested.....

8 mpg

can fit lots of golf bags

also seats can be taking out, for extra-marital relations on the road

 

[wal66]

Gee Arch with that MPG you should have no problem selling them. HA!

When I was coaching I would have loved that though.

I did have sex in the back of an Explorer once. It wasn't terrible.
