What you have against Canada?

Better be careful or we'll cut you off completely than you'll be driving Schwins.

I used to see two( Not so) Smart Cars in my area last year. I haven't seen them around lately. I wonder if they sold them or put them away for the summer.

I drive a 2007 Nissan Frontier
My wife drives a 2004 Honda Odyssey
I also own a 1978 Datsun 510, and a 1982 VW Westfalia.

What does this say about me? I'm not sure.

Actually, those sound like nice characteristics for driving the crowded, narrow pothole-ridden streets of Los Angeles too.

I drive a 1987 Lincoln. The roof is caved in when a storm blew a branch on the roof. Several months later a truck sideswiped the right side, it's all crumpled. The paint has faded, the seats are worn down to the stuffing, the cars lays down a thick, blue cloud on the road. All doors are stuck, I get in and out thru the passenger side window. But I want to look impressive, so I welded 24 inch high tail fins on each rear fender.
So now the people turn their heads when I drive down the street, it makes me feel important.

Fins can cut through a lot of BS, man.

No! Fins give it that look of luxury elegance. On the trunk lid I painted "American Pie".
Ya know, drove my Lincoln to the levy...

I suppose next you'll disallow exit visas for the best hockey players!

There sure are a bunch of them in the Phoenix area! I checked them out when they first became available and thought they were overpriced and not fuel efficient enough to justify the price.

Agree - I looked at them, too. One of our neighbors has one. She previously had an HHR. Wonder how she likes the transition? Anyway, I do see a fair number of them in Tucson.
