I think the take home message is that it is unsafe to hit non-moving, immovable objects. Meat-sacks do not survive sudden deceleration well.
I understand the safety features of smart cars (and many other cars on the road. They are designed to dissipate energy and maintain the integrity of the passenger compartment. The weakest link is between the seat and steering wheel. And often sending a text.
So small it can be assembled in the aisles of the factory...
I've seen them parked purpen....,no, perpand....,no,pirpun...,no, at a 90 degree angle to the curb.
I have an old orange 1970 Super Beetle that I have owned for perhaps 25 years. It has spent the last 10 or so in the back of my shop under a blanket. This discussion has made want to unearth it. It was always great fun to drive, and I recall a couple sacks of old newspapers in the very nose to give the front end a little extra weight.
DO IT!
Reminds me of my 1970 Standard Beetle. I lowered it and put 135 tires on the front. (We used to call them pizza cutters)
It looked really cool, but I quickly realized that a smaller contact patch on the front of a car with a light front end was not a great modification - if you like stopping....
Yep. When I was in Germany on business I frequently chose to drive a Smart car for just that reason, you can park it anywhere.I've seen them parked purpen....,no, perpand....,no,pirpun...,no, at a 90 degree angle to the curb.
But I made up for it when I was in Singapore on business and selected this to drive...
...my job did have its perks.
Oh yeah G!!!!
or even better, large factory personnel can use them to go from point A to point B..

I am pretty sure you could toss my bolt on Epi into the ocean, then tow it to Japan behind an oil tanker and nothing would happen to the finish. I don't know what the poly really is, but when archaeologists dig it up in 10,000 years, it will still be shiny.
rental of that car in S'pore must have cost a fortune,....heck it costs 20k just to get permission to purchase a vehicle..
Dude! Black shoes with brown!? And don't try to claim that it is too much trouble to pack two pairs of shoes. Travel with oxblood (burgundy) shoes - they go with brown, blue, green, and grey suits.

It does alright, not quite as much top end as the two old SBX's I have, I actually bought it used for a pretty price just to keep upstairs and not have to haul cabs back and forth to the basement rehearsal space. Of late though, the SBX's are both upstairs and I use them for solo practice and the GLX is for rehearsal and shows. FWIW I'm probably going to cosign the SBX's and use them to help fund a Bergantino 6x10.
Not great tone here, cameras don't record bands very well, plus it's way off to one side
Winter time means black shoes after September besides, it's Germany, nobody cares..
I brought Leon home six years ago today. Still a thrill to play.
I'll assume you meant coNsign? And that is a problem with most mics on cameras/phones-compressed range.
Not in S. Florida. Flip-flops/"Jesus boots" all year. And the "special" look-black knee highs w/ shorts and sandals.Winter time means black shoes after September besides, it's Germany, nobody cares..
