I’m not a vandal and I’m not the kind of person who does it, but I *have* wondered if those Smart cars are tippable.

I was next to one on an interstate a few weeks ago and was wondering how stable such a thing could be at 65 MPH.

I had to use a Geo Metro on the highway once. Driving it was like having sex with a sewing machine. That 40 mpg dropped to about 26 when you drove at highway speed, also

You see them going a lot faster than that on the Autobahns.

Probably pretty stable, actually. Consider that a motorcycle is very stable at 65 mph. But stopped, you'd better have a foot down, or have it resting on a kickstand or it will tip itself.
