Smart Cars Are Stupid, and I Hate Them
WARNING: Extremely Graphic Photos




The worst of the worst has moved into my neighborhood.  It's all downhill from here.  That's right, there's a SmartCar in the driveway down the street.  It took me a while to figure out where my absolutely vicious and vitriolic hatred comes from whenever I see one.  Though I do laugh somewhat when I see one get on the feeder road that runs along the Gulf Freeway here.  But I hate them.  To quote Jack Nicholson's character Melvin Udall's hatred for taking pills from As Good As It Gets: "Hate. I'm using the word HATE here;" only my hatred is directed toward SmartCars. There's one of these Clown Cars in my son's government school parking lot. It's yellow and has a Bill White bumper sticker on it (WTF?).
I see them here and there, scooting about town, and I want to take aim with my imaginary (it's on my wishlist) Barnett Ghost 350 Carbon Lite Crossbow. Don't get me wrong. I support a person's choice to drive what is essentially just a golf cart with a hard-top on it.  But you KNOW there's attitude attached: "Lookit Me. I'M not using very much fuel." Good. That means there's more for ME and my ten-year-old 14-mpg Dodge Grand Caravan eX. I recently saw a SmartCar parked in a handicap parking space at my grocery store. I even tweeted it at that very moment as it struck me as just super odd. It screams to me "mentally handicapped." That's right, I typed mentally handicapped.
What's WRONG with this picture?

So why the hatred?  It's because these vehicles are antithetical to life. As long as I live, I'd fight my sons if they tried to drive one (they wouldn't).When I see one I see death. I saw the pictures you will see below quite a while ago - before I started seeing SmartCars putting around. This is Texas, for God's sake.  For Texas, the SmartCar looks like a roller skate. All sarcasm momentarily aside, scroll down, but be warned! It's only when I connected that car to these pictures that I began to understand my hatred for having one of these things within any range of my vision.  

 I'm using the word HATE here. Here's a graphic depiction of the WHY.

The photos are real, but that is NOT a Smart Fortwo. The car is the Toyota Rav4

I just happened upon this idiotic posting by pure chance. I just want to chime in and say that you, ma'am, are the physical manifestation of everything that is wrong with this country. You, and your like minded brethren, are the absolute anchor that is currently pulling America down. You're emotionally driven and uneducated and those two things are a deadly combination. I can't change how you are... all I can do is wait for you to be gone.

I think you know what to replace "love" with love

That's not a smart car, and I'm sure your 10 yr old minivan would do much better in a similar crash. I'm sure the smart car drivers don't think of you as another love in a minivan. Point your loveing finger at me like a gun and ill take it as a personal threat and burn your love to the ground.

Wow. You are messed up. Do you not understand that our planet cannot sustain the level of CO2 emissions, nitrogen, and methane that are currently being emitted? With any luck, you won't be around to endure the effects of the irreversible damage that the current generation is causing. But your children and your children's children will. Smart cars are not stupid. They have a place and I agree it is not competing with big rigs on the interstate. Perhaps your issue is with the current laws that allow these glorified golf carts on the highways. That I could understand. But your blatant flaunting of your own environmentally hazardous vehicle is disgusting. I hear ignorance is bliss--so you must be ecstatic.

BTW, I see you are very proud of your gun. More people have been accidentally killed by guns in the wrong hands than have been killed by smart cars on the wrong roads.
