I don't know what they call that -- THING -- I saw again the other day, but it looks to be virtually a one-seater, as in ain't no large person getting in it. I was fascinated to watch it go around the corner, pretty sure the driver had to lean into the curve.

Whatever the car is, I've seen a couple of them now. It's scary it's so tiny. I really might not see it from inside my car. It should not be allowed out of the neighborhood, like a golf cart.

Kath,

Could you be speaking of the Smart Car?

I drive a big ass planet killing Tahoe and I love nothing more than pulling up beside one of these. Bwahahahaha! (Or a Prius. Which are in abundance here in ultra liberal Western WA.)

I drove some Suzuki go-cart death trap on wheels in the Cayman Islands. Woot! Near death experience every time I got in.

Yeah, Kath must be referring to the Smart Car. Jesus that thing is tiny.

During the week I drive a beater commuter car that gets 30+ miles a gallon. On the weekends I'm on my motorcycle (40+ miles a gallon), but I also have my hotrod that gets about 12 MPG. So 6 days a week I'm a wussy liberal scum.

That's what that thing is!!

Yes, Sisu, I also drive a Tahoe and I traded in my old Tahoe to get this one. And when I get done with it, I'm buying a Suburban.

Damned if I'm driving some little squishy car.

(And, Wek, the only time I, personally, drove a motorcycle I ran it into a house. So -- no more of that. Burned the crap out of my leg. Yeah, it wasn't pretty.)
