I am from Atlanta, but lived in Oregon for a time. Those beaver state drivers are no smarter, and certainly no better on the roads than drivers in Atlanta. Most of them are jacked up on caffeine and much too self-involved to care about anyone else on the roads.Leave It To Beavernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2876951254622829363.post-12302097252945119222007-09-30T11:59:00.000-05:002007-09-30T11:59:00.000-05:00Well, thanks for your correction.<BR/>However, I'm 100% sure it was a Smart Car.<BR/><BR/>I'm the one that called 911 and was VERY up close and personal.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't even drive a scooter in this town anymore. And I drove a Vespa most of my teens here. I drive a Prius, but I need at least that much protection around me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2876951254622829363.post-46882162853053944062007-09-29T20:36:00.000-05:002007-09-29T20:36:00.000-05:00love this car! i hope they sell them here soon.maryjanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2876951254622829363.post-27951425330085429582007-09-28T09:48:00.000-05:002007-09-28T09:48:00.000-05:00Thanks so much for the comment. I'm 99.9% sure that it wasn't a SMART car that you saw in that accident (probably one of the smaller Suzuki's, Chevy's or the like), because the SMART isn't available in the US yet (it's only currently in Europe). I definitely agree that these cars aren't a great fit for most of Atlanta driving, but for in-town jaunts between neighborhoods (and as a replacement for those golf carts in Peachtree City) they could work. Be sure to check out the original posting from June--there's a crash test video from the UK that shouldn't be missed.Ponce De Leonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08216851680567156401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2876951254622829363.post-41953809881472450452007-09-28T09:07:00.000-05:002007-09-28T09:07:00.000-05:00I think they're a great idea in theory. However, I saw a wreck with one of these and a Honda at the corner of Ponce and Highland and the person in this thing was badly hurt. <BR/>I mean, people in Atlanta can't drive.<BR/>This will probably work well in Portland or somewhere else a lot of smart people live.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
