Herve le bug d’amour
So my honorable friend Dennis pointed me toward this little gem. The Smart Fortwo car. It’s itty bitty. I’m guessing it’s secretly a TARDIS because how are you going to fit two supersized A-mer-a-cuns in it otherwise? Somehow I’m thinking that the Walmarters of the world aren’t going to be that interested…cuz, you know, it’s only got 2 cupholders. Seriously though it gets incredible mileage as you might expect, and is perfect for urban living. Finally we’re taking a page out of the European book of car design; smaller is often smarter.
you’re welcome, man! there’s a short video on the ny times’ site showing off this lovely gem. it may no longer be on the front page, but look for the big auto show’s links; it was associated with that IIRC.
