My Next New Car
This is the cutest little thing. It would be perfect for a quick trip to Starbucks or the grocery store. When I brought it back home, I could store it in my pants pocket.
A small update - I didn’t mention what the car is. It’s a smart fortwo (yes, a small “s), made by Swatch & Mercedes. Here’s an article in Canadian Driver magazine.

There are lots of these in Italy and France. When we were in r
Rome a month or so ago, there was one parked in the street outside our hotel.
There were also
a group of workmen standing around it scratching
their heads. Then one of them quickly picked the lock, took it out of gear and
moved it up the street a bit, locked it and left it. They then proceded to
dig up the cobblestones for some sort of repair. I have always wondered what
the owner thought when he cam back and found his car somewhere else. I guess
if they hadn’t been able to pick the lock, they could just have picked it
up and moved it!on 06/19 at 01:00 PM -
Too cool.. what is it? (Please email me if you know). Have seen one recently in my parts but failed to find out who produces them. Great ‘around town’ vehicle for sure..

Hey, uh, Me. That would be really bizarre to come back to your car and
find it moved up the street. Well, at least they didn’t steal it.Oh, Maia, it’s a Smart Fortwo. They’re also coming out with a teeny SUV, which
they call a Smart Forfour. http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/pw/05smartcabriolet.htmon 06/20 at 07:56 PM -
Very nice. Not sure it deserves the price tag though. What someone should do is come out with something similar with a smaller price tag already. I could really see it catching on as a short haul mobile in urban areas. IF the price was right.
