Shaq can fit in, and drive, a Smart car

 

Clever was to advertise! First time I've seen this (often imitated for other uses) used for a barber

Don Swartz made a really good Fred Flintstone car, from a Smart car, by simply taking off the doors and adding a couple rollers. It's pretty good!

looks like they did a Halloween mock speeding ticket

Tod Anderson, a mechanic in Manotick, has turned a Smart car into the perfect snowmobile

“It’s just a fitting thing for this kind of car,” says Anderson. “The car is just kind of made for (snowmobile conversion), being rear-engine and rear-wheel drive. I just had to try it out.”

Anderson built the car out of his garage with the help of friendly neighbours. It is fully functional and can reach speeds of 65 km/h. Anderson operates Autobahn Tuning in Manotick in south Ottawa, specializing in repairing, restoring and modifying European cars.

The tracks are from a side-by-side ATV, which Anderson adapted to fit the hubs of the Smart car. The skis were then designed and laser cut to fit the new and improved snowmobile.

I guess you get a micro car for the mileage and the trailer so you don't need to buy a truck

Thanks James

3rd world problem vs 1st world problem

How to get water home, and how to transport a commuter with an rv bus

What a crazy world. I compliment the inventor of that water wheel... brilliant.

Smart car vs van, looks like the Smart car frame took the brunt of the hit, and spun off the impact

 short story of it, 77 year old gent in the van had a "medical episode" left his lane, crossed into the path of the Smart Car, caused the collision, and no one died.

the drivers side appears to not be crushed

Good choice of a car that will fit in the driveway WITH the truck

Found while out for a walk

is it a car if cops on roller skates can pull it over?

the San Diego "Smart"ies had a club outing to the SD Eurofest 2013 at Qualcomm Stadium

windup keys on small cars, still cute!

It's Naomi, who spotted me as I walked in to the car event, and surprised me... I had no idea she was in a car club.

The Smart car is a Mercedes product, that's why it's part of the Eurofest

Hoodpins!

the above is more unusual for the front bumper they added on than the carbon fiber looking hood

The "Smart" car company has a good idea, get their customers excited about having a Smart. They are partnered up with a vinyl wrap company, and you can make your car look any way you want (without permanent paint)

I believe the cost is about 1200 dollars. Through them, but it does make me wonder what a vinyl wrap would cost if you went to a company that does that, without going through a dealership.

Wings make cars better, right?

Maybe not for the above, but the rest seem to be improved
