Rush Rides In A Smart Car
I love scooters. That one is a “Stella” based on a 1950’s Italian model made by two guys here in the USA. But they are not street legal in California.
I may have to settle for a Vespa. They still make some vintage styles.
“Yes Ma’am, this little cream puff will only set you back 9000
dollars. And if it does break down, why you can just pick it up and carry it home”.
Looks like the PERFECT car for golf. No need to rent a golf cart!
This has “sequel” written all over it:
Driving Maha-Rushie
Too easy. Think of it as an under-powered motorcycle with two spare wheels and a really big faring! ;)
The “smart” car began accelerating before the Ferrari, and it doesn’t look like the Ferrari was pushing it. imo.
These things are all pretty ridiculous, and the smaller they are , the more ridiculous they seem.
They are no more than glorified golf carts, or Dune Buggies, or wannabe ATVs.
They are either merely “recreational” or “functional”
like that above-named categories they aspire to, but they
have NO real-world application, except as PC “conversation
(and conservation, BTW) pieces”.
No room for his cigars.
I was looking at a Smart Car parked in the parking lot at a Ford dealership when I was purchasing a Taurus a few days ago.
The lady who owned it came out and made like an advertisement. I said, “It’s too small for me.”
She said, “Oh, there is plenty of room inside. My 6 foot 4 inch son can drive it easily.”
So then she had to prove it, so I got in. There was about 1/2 inch of head clearance. She says, “Move the seat back further.” So I tried, but it was already all the way back. She reaches in to adjust it herself, but then the big smile disappears from her face when she sees that it really is already adjusted all the way back... Not as much room as she thought.
LOL - I was thinking the exact same thing!!
Another fine mess you’ve gotten us into!
Just wait... somebody will make a superstretch limo out of one of these. Count on it.
I want one. First I gotta buy a tire dealership.
I’ve got a brand new pair of roller skates you’ve got a brand new key......
Didn’t know Rush had any Enviroterrorist friends.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Just the thing for transporting your Chessie recues—LOL!
A slight accident with a can opener. *shrugging*
At a used car lot on the edge of town
A liberal guy and a liberal gal
Buy a Yugo
And they drive with pride
Cause if there’s one thing that this world needs
It’s environmental friends who’ll take the lead
In a Yugo
They say, “people don’t you understand
Those suburbans are ruining the land”
But they’ll wish they had a full size van one day
They point fingers at you and me
They say we’re too blind to see
But do we simply use our heads
And choose another way?
As those small wheels turn
Fifty miles to the gallon
And their knees on their chest
They’re gonna save enough gas
For all of the rest
In a Yugo
Then one day on the interstate
They suddenly lose control
They swerve to avoid a little baby duck
They’re squashed beneath a big Mack truck
But they drove with pride…
And as the crowds drive past a little flat car
You know they saved a lot of gas
But they didnt get far
In a Yugo
And as they’re trapped inside
At a used car lot on the other side of town
A liberal guy and a liberal gal
Buy a Yugo….
And they drive with pride…
LOL! I saw a LOT of that in Europe too.
Nice to be able to park your car in a motorcycle spot.
