Which brings up the question, WHY is it so expensive? Is it just taxed a ridiculous percentage?
$5.40 a gallon... that's about the cost of a pack of cigarettes these days. |

Gas costs about $1.80-$2.00 here . It takes $50 to fill up my work truck ( 40 gal tank ) . THANK GOD FOR THOSE COMPANY GAS CARDS |
Now $1.95 a gallon at the Mobil up the street...I suspect it's over $2 a gallon in the inner city.

I just read this morning that the Smart car built by Mercedes and styled by Swatch is finally going to be imported to the USA. Unfortunately, because of the weak dollar, it will cost $20,000.
It kicks ass. It gets 60 mpg, and is plenty roomy inside for a couple of large adults. I saw them on the autobahn in Germany, and they can keep up with the rest of the cars there. http://www.eccentrifuge.com/rabies/k....smart.car.jpg |
Does the roof collapse automatically so they can just dig a hole and bury you in it if you crash? And where do you put the groceries ... or even your briefcase?

Those windshield wipers are interesting.

There's a foot or so in between the back of the seats and the rear hatch. You can fit a lot of groceries in there.
It passes all US safety regulations. Handles well, gets outstanding gas mileage, and is only slightly smaller than the new mini cooper. But has more room inside for the passengers. |
