What’s really entertaining about those Smart Cars is to watch obese people drive them. Yes, they do fit into them. How? A very large shoehorn, maybe?

The 1971 Pinto was actually a decent little car. It came out before that terrible design flaw that caused some gas tanks to explode on rear impact.

My Dad bought one new and put nearly 170K miles on it before selling it in 1982.

Pinto, yes. Smart car, nope. Love the car. It is very ugly, but the gas mileage is great, have taken several long trips in it, not a single problem. However, I can’t get it past 95 mph.

My first car was a 74 Pinto Wagon. Drove it over 200k before it died. One of the most reliable cars I ever had.

Last week, I saw someone attempting to put a kayak in the back of a smart car.
I pulled over, and I made my entire family point and laugh at the idiot.
