OMG the, "New Age", of Pro Touring
 
I saw this and thought you all would find it kind of funny.

I don't think they had this in mind when they wanted to, "Save the Planet".

NOT. The smart car is incredibly strong. I'd rather be in a smart in a crash than a Honda accord.

watch THIS and THIS... You won't believe it.

I'd buy one in a minute if I had the money. what a well built car.

smart cars are a death trap. IMO along with any other car built liek it

there is a group that did the same test top gear did. the decelartion force would severally injure or kill an average person..


small object change direction that much faster. and the body can only hand so much before you organs turn to jello...

Just more proof that if some one builds it....some one else will make it faster and race it. :lol:
