Funny!

While I an no advocate for the Smart Car (or the Prius, or the Volt, or any others), to be fair....the Smart Car wasn't designed to go drag racing. Hell...is wasn't even designed to even be on North American roads, never mind an interstate, autobahn, or similar.

It was designed initially for European city streets, narrow streets with cities that have big pollution laws/taxes (London, England is a good example).

As far as it being safe? Actually safer than most compact and sub-compact cars these days!
