    They are all over the place where I live and although they are cute, I can't help but wonder how "smucked up" you would be in an crash. There really is nothing there to protect you.

    On the upside, I can see why they are so popular since to seems to go forever on one tank of gas.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    I remember going to Italy. There were hundreds of those around, especially in the bigger cities like Piza and Rome. I really don't like them, they are ugly and way to small for me.

    They are not just in the big cities. They are literally everywhere. Vicenza is full of them. They are used a lot as company cars here. So they always have logos and custom paint jobs. There is a smart dealership about 25 minutes from me. I too hate them. And it seems all the people that drive the smart here are absolute road idiots. Everytime we see one we say 'There's another genius' of course this is an extremely sarcastic comment.

    Umm, the one friend I knew from Italy was the only person who ever thought "Boston Drivers" were polite. I thought everyone in Italy drove like crazy people?

    In places like Milan and Rome they are nuts. No kidding but for the most part there are a lot of BAD drivers here not that they all drive like crazy people. The worst of the worst are the drivers with the 'elite' cars...mercedes, bmw,audi, etc. Believe it or not the people that drives the sports car are the most courteous for the most part. Everyone here is always in a rush. And no one gives no one a break. The are discorteous and rude and did I mention BAD?

    I don't think I'd lke to be beside a semi on the highway in one of those!

    When we were in Italy (and other places throughout Europe) I noticed that no only are teh cars amller than here in the US, even the TRUCKS are smaller! And SUVs? Didn't see any!

    I thought the craziest drivers were in Naples. Heck, even our tour bus driver tookt he bus up on the sidewalk to get down one street, and he DIDN'T slow down!

    Even if I was offered one for free, I'd never drive or ride in one of those cars. They're so dangerous. You'd be dead in any accident you got in.
