Looks like the PERFECT car for golf. No need to rent a golf cart!
This has “sequel” written all over it:
Driving Maha-Rushie
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”.

Another fine mess you’ve gotten us into!
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.

Just the thing for transporting your Chessie recues—LOL!
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…
He was in an electric smart car and was chasing someone through the streets, during the chase he turned on the radio to listen to it and the car stalled.
That pic of Rush reminds me of the scene and I start laughing again.
Rush:
“Is that the clutch or does this car come with an enema?
Who needs a windshield,my knees do just fine.
If I could lose twenty pounds,I can put it in fourth.
I don’t brake for butterflies,I run from them!
Step on the gas with your a..?
Why do the headlights look like a car caught in a deer?
Why does the horn go “EEEK!”
It’s called a smart car because when you wreck running into a squirrel,it and the squirrel won’t die.”
Smart’s are safe enough, even in traffic. There are several videos of Smart crash tests floating around on the interwebs, including one where they slammed it into a concrete barrier at 70MPH. The doors still opened, and the passenger would have walked away (the driver probably would have a broken leg or two, but that’s a minor injury for that kind of impact in ANY vehicle).
The thing is, Smart did away with all of that “crumple zone” BS and built the car around a real hardened steel crash cage. That cage is very rigid and does a great job at preventing intrusions into the passenger compartment. For it’s size, it’s extremely safe.
The downside? That safety cage is also extremely heavy, and the Smart weighs as much as larger model compact cars. Its mileage, therefore, is about the same as any other decent compact on the market. There’s no fuel mileage bonus for owning one. The advantage is simply that it’s small and easy to park.
That would be a perfect commuter car for me. Most of my drive is on the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. If it’ll do 55/60 mph I can keep to the slow lane and only worry about deer.
If they don’t cost an arm and leg, that is.
Nice golf cart.
