The only place the Smart fortooey would be safe is snuggled up inside the bed of my Super Duty alongside my tools and gear.

LOL! After you get to the job site, you can take the Smart car out to fetch coffee on town!

Those cars are silly!

It's like that natural selection thing.

Sorry, no self respecting person should be riding in something the size of a large lawn tractor. I can't believe how small they are! Out on the highway, the wind must push them around something bad!

I saw a quick shot of that Smart car colliding with something like a Mercedes. It's four wheels seemed to leave the ground as the car bounced of the MB.

You could just about strap one on each foot and just skate with them.

Hey Dave, great link to the you tube Rick Monday video. I vaguely remember that happening. It was particularly disturbing being that it was the bi-centennial. Doesn't look like Wrigley so I'm assuming the Cubs were away, no self respecting Chicagoan would have lit up Old Glory. They're lucky we didn't have home field advantage...getting the flag plucked away from them would have been the least of their worries. BTW, that was another losing season for the Cubs.

After the incident occured, the LA press dubbed Rick Monday: Mr. Red, White & Blue.

When the 1976 season ended, the Dodgers traded for Monday.

He's still with the team today, working with Vin Scully as a play-by-play announcer.

I remember about 15-17 years ago, when I was at my folks' house in MI, home for a school break (coulda been summer or Christmas, or something like that), there was a little article in the newspaper about a Geo Metro blowing off the Mackinac Bridge. One moment it was tooling across the bridge, the next, it was in the drink. The Smart Car is even smaller and lighter...
