Someone's been vandalizing compact Smart cars in San Francisco, flipping the tiny vehicles on their front and rear ends in the city's streets.
NBC Bay Area found four of the targeted Smart cars between Sunday night and Monday morning. Two were found in the Bernal Heights neighborhood on Anderson Street, and another was found a bit south on Sweeny and Bowdoin streets, closer to the Portola district. They were either sitting on their headlights, rear bumpers high in the air, or vice versa.
A fourth Smart car -- a small white one with a faded "Obama-Biden" bumper sticker -- was discovered Monday about 9 a.m. at Coso and Prospect avenues between the Mission District and Bernal Heights.

The exact motives behind the vandalism are unclear. The diminutive cars are smaller and lighter than most vehicles. A Smart car weighs about 1,500 pounds; a Ford Focus S Sedan weighs close to 3,000 pounds, and a Hummer clocks in at 8,600 pounds -- definitely a heft that would pose a flipping challenge.

Dirt-heads protesting “gentrification” of the Mission District by the young, well-paid engineers of google, facebook and the many nearby computer game design companies.
They go around screaming that upper-income people drive up rents there, or displace murals and scummy places that “workers” like.
Obviously, you have never worked with some of the young insufferable arrogant pricks of all three genders who work for the likes of Google in the Bay Area.
I have and I have a bit of sympathy for the “dirt -heads” - at least enough to very amused at the though of said pricks coming out to find their cars sitting on their roofs.
Sheesh. And I thought MINE was nuts!
That race video is hilarious. Too much camber, indeed!
It looks like a Disney Cars movie come to life!
Where else can you see cars burning up the track at a furious 60 mph? I gotta get one...
