It's on the interstate, doing 70+. When there is any traffic, especially big rigs, the car literally spends more time blowing around on the road than touching it.
I've come to grips with the fact that I'm going to see it one morning, crumpled like a beer can.
A smart car is an excellent idea for a retirement community. Or, for someone like my Mom, who drives 2 miles to church a couple of times a week, and maybe occasionally to the grocery store (6-7 miles). Other use, especially on the interstate, is taking your life into your own hands.
I had a Fiat 600 while stationed in Italy. It was the next size up from the 500. It was also a beater-car with suicide doors and unknown mileage. It was great for shuttling back and forth from base or thru the narrow Italian streets but it was not a highway car...although many used them as such.
