I see the count is up slightly, but enough to encourage a sell off. I'm buying.

As long as most or all of them are Plymouth Dusters or Valiants it's not a big loss.

If they burn these, no loss either! PS: that's actual size! :)

That's the Smart, isn't it? Top Gear reviewed them a couple of weeks ago. I thought I remember them saying that the Smart goes from 0-60 in "more than 12 seconds". They usually review classy cars like Ferrari, so their review of the Smart was rather funny.

Yup, it's the "Smart" car. The only thing smart about it is the joke that it is. I took that picture in Seville, Spain...they drive those "cars" as if they were in the Indy 500...

The French will have NO peace until they convert to Muslim like Napoleon Bonaparte did or they fight back.

It seems to me, the safest place in France, right now, is at the 24 hour Car Wash.

Hey, these "smart cars" should only count as half a car.

Wouldn't it be simpler to keep count on the cars they have left?

I figure now that they've burned up all these POS French cars like the Renault, Peugot and Citroen, it's an opportunity for GM to come back from their union-induced failure by selling a bunch of cars to the French. Black cloud, silver lining kind of thing.
