... and on top of that, their early claims of having fantastic safety ratings turned out to be exagerated. I will go head to head with a SmartCar any day, especially in my Suburban or my Silverado... I won't even wear a helmet or a seat belt, and the bump as it splatters on my grille is unlikely to cause enough damage to exceed my deductible... I'll just put a few squirts of "SmartCar- B- Gone" on there, wipe it off, and have it forgotten by the time I see another.
