Would sticking a fairly powerful magnet under the car work?

No, but sticking a Hummer over it will.

Freaking clown car...why anyone would risk their family's lives to drive one of those death traps is beyond me.

Small cars are great in big cities where parking is at a premium. My dad can't park his Expedition in some garages here in DC because it is too tall. Anyway, the Smart Car isn't meant to be a family car or to be taken on the freeways (though I have seen some out there).

That being said, I don't get the Smart Car. It gets 40 MPG, but the Toyota Yaris gets about 37, is a few grand cheaper and seats 4. If you're looking for a small car to drive around the city, it seems like a better choice. For a few grand more, you can get the Mini Cooper, which is a pretty cool little car (and a total chick magnet).

On the plus side, you can only risk the life of one other family member at a time!

No kidding! I saw one of these little things on the freeway here in Wicsconsin and it looked like it could get blown over by a gnat fart.
