  So, does anyone know the MSRP on those things?  Those are some impressive
numbers that were posted..74hp, 94mph, 53mpg and 730 kilos?  Sounds just
like a Harley Davidson, but I bet they are about half the MSRP...Hee hee.
  You could stick some fringe onto the door handles, get a couple of
"talker-headsets" gather up about 100 overweight people and have an
"outing", just like the Harleys do..Lessee, what would you wear when you
were "being an individual" in a Smart Car?...Lime green gabardine leisure
suit?  A tank-top with "my other car's a Yugo?"
  You would have to do some work to make that smart car as loud as a
Harley..but at over 5' high, it would probably already be plenty awkward
right out of the showroom..
  Cool, gonna get me one..Start a club, do some rides!..er, drives?..
  All in fun, you harley fans..
