Smart Cars...

[Jeff Murphy]

Europe is going a little green crazy, especially central London, where from October this year they will charge you the equivalent of $50 per day to drive anything with a 3.0L or larger engine (if the fascist, pinko, car-hating mayor is re-elected).

These deathtraps are increasingly common and make the Smarts seem like an E-Class Mercedes by comparison:




Dimensions: L 2.6m, W 1.3m, H 1.6m. Wheel base 1.7m. Just multiply by 3 for feet for you non-metric guys in the audience.

I actually feel physically ill whenever I see one on the road...

Don't know the Chevrolet color name, but it's a charcaol grey. I put the Z71 wheels on a few years back. This truck has 195,000 miles on it and still going pretty strong. Had to put a GM tranny in it last year, but the engine keeps purring even with the piston slap noise when you first start it It really gets used a lot for work and pleasure....hope I get another 195k out of her

Sam, when we go to Gothenburg in business and stay over night we live at the Gothia Towers Hotel. They have a restaurant at the top that I like. Check out www.gothiatowers.com . It takes 5-10 minutes with a cab from Radisson Scandinavia.
I´ll ask my friends in Gothenburg what else they recommend and get back to you.

Welcome to Sweden, land of the midnight sun !

So I'm driving home yesterday in my Yukon and pull up at a light next to this woman driving a Smart car. My lane ends about 200 ft ahead and I have to merge into her lane.

Naturally, when the light turns green, I am going to blow ahead of this dog cage. She is looking over at me, staring me down like I am the Devil driving this big bad SUV. I can just tell that she is going to do whatever she can to prevent me from getting ahead of her. Light goes green and she guns it. I calmly leave the line because I want to see what this thing has (I was quite surprised actually as it has some go).

As soon as the dog cage gets up next to me, I punch the gas and the 6.0 Vortec does it's thing and just smokes her. She starts laying on the horn as I blow past her because I guess she hates big bad SUV's. I was nowhere near her when I merged. She eventually caught up to me in traffic and started riding my bumper. I was thinking about turning her front bumper into a mold for my trailer hitch and ball but she calmed down and backed off.
