men driving fairy cars need to have a word with themselves.
Another point, they are called smart cars but not in this house they’re called dum dum cars as you have to be very dumb to drive that death trap supped up golf cart.
My kids always get a laugh at the people driving them.
I think that guys should drive a car that fits their needs. Someone who hauls wood across backroads for a living, doesn't need a Prius. And someone who lives in downtown NYC, and commutes 12 blocks, doesn't need a F-350 Dualie to do it. Now, if either of these guys WANT their particular vehicle, that's okey-dokey, but I'll think that they're foolish for it.
That being said, I work with a number of guys who drive plastic hybrid cars, and the mental gymnastics they make to justify their decisions never ceases to amaze me. I had one tell me that his hybrid "got 30 mpg, but its actually more than that because it shuts off at stoplights".
I didn't have the heart to tell him that if you put 10 gallons in the tank, and drive 300 miles on, then you're getting 30 mpg, irregardless of WHEN your car shuts off.
Don't knock'em 'til you driv'em. They are great city cars, and far safer than their size would have you believe. Remember, they are basically a scaled-down Mercedes.
For about three years I drove a little blue Karmann Ghia.
It attracted more cute, heterosexual young ladies than any car I ever drove before or since.
If I ever get divorced I'll probably buy another one within a month of signing the papers.
