truth bombs

^almost bought one once for $800. owner was having money trouble, unfortunately so was I.

my mom said her first car was an early 60s valiant. she didn't realize you had to change the oil from time to time and wound up seizing the engine.

my mom's first car was a 60s valiant too! she sold it some time around my 2nd brother being born and got a 70s vw van. which we had for like ever.

that dart is soo beautiful <3

JBR youll be killed in that thing!

it's a worthy sacrifice.

btw is it that new $2500 nano car (or did i dream that car?)

Are these cars just new in the US? They were to be seen frequently in London at least five years ago, maybe even more.

they're new in the u.s., but only the fortwo line is being sold here at the moment. they're selling really well, apparently!

sunny: it's the smartcar. they start at around $11000.

i want a car that's also a phone

my mum has a smart car

lol slocki

jbr i love you but i totally totally can't get behind the look of hybrid cars gaah

Smart cars are everywhere in Oxford/London. I think you get one when you qualify as an estate agent.

lol "qualify"

smart cars are not hybrids
they are also ridiculously safe

crumple zones

I guess I'm wrong as usual.

that was hard

wow!

i dont know, those crash test ratings dont look so hot to me

"Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the roof rail.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the neck and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the the dummy's head were high when it hit the steering wheel through the airbag, indicating that head injuries would be possible. Forces on the right tibia indicate that injuries to the lower leg would also be possible. Head acceleration from the roof rail hit was negligible.

"

fail

and thats at 40mph

judging a car by how it looks ls like judging a foodstuff on how it feels when rubbed against your bottom

wtf cmon that is not true at all - aesthetics is not absent from car judgement in any way

nor is ass rubbing absent from foodstuff judgment

or food judgment for that matter
xpost!

It's safer than any other go-kart on the road today.

I could wipe my ass with one of those smart cars.

its got poor rear impact ratings too

Apparently, it takes almost nothing to total one.

I like that we have hijacked "truth bombs" to discuss the attractiveness and crash safety of the Chevy Nova vs the Smart ForTwo btw

All because I said nobody would time travel to 1978 and Whiney G recognized that to be a complete fact

it was a year or so before i realized those allstate commericals werent directed at someone named Stan.
