-well i was looking for my first car that i would be driving and Joe Limon himself named some cars off
-One car brand he named off was the Smart Cars which gets around 38mpg
-Use comments to say which one you like and why
also this smart car is -11k off the mini coopers base price so die :P
What Rubba said.. Smart cars, Are only for pansys, whos afraid of going fast, And both those.. Look sucky. I can see it now..You driving on a highway where people go 90.. Beeep beeep *Middlefinger flings from NORMAL car* "GET OFF THE ROAD!, LEARN TO DRIVE!!" Just take Rubba's advice! __________________
Actually, smart cars are constructed with a highly reinforced frame, so they (and their drivers/passengers) can survive quite dangerous crashes easily. The first version had some problems that could turn them to almost any side if you went to fast through a bend (some landed standing on the rear end), but those problems are solved by now. Those cars are meant and best for driving in cities, of course, but they can certainly go fast enough to not get pushed from highways.
That being said, a mini cooper is way cooler. __________________
yes a mini cooper is cooler but i cant afford that thing @_@ goes for over 20k easily here and sometimes over 30k X_x so the mini cooper thought was scratched and i set out to find a sporty car with good mpg __________________
Holy crap fs, that crashtest was surprising!! It damn sure has a strong frame. The forfour is kinda cool Not my personal choice of cars, but the Forfour is acceptable. __________________
Actually smart cars look discusting, ugliest looking car ive seen, can imaging the makers stupid businessmen sitting round a table designing it checking off safety,price, low cost- the 3 things that make a bad car!. Corporate design made to make money, no style in the design , looks like a toy.......i could go on and on and on __________________
I want to get a Mustang or Corvette or something like that, like from the 60s-70s. Or, this may sound stupid, but a Lincoln Grand Marquee would be neat, I love them. Neat mafia cars (I mean the older ones). But really, just think of screaming down the highway like a bat outta hell in a mustang...
right right but when gas is $3 a gallon and u drive alot how much mpg does that old american muscle get? how bout that mercury grand marquis? my point exactly __________________
I don't really know, but my dad who changes jobs every 2 weeks or so has one and it seems fine for him. Also, you don't need to be driving round like 'chek out my cool modurn car lol'. The Grand Marquis is very efficient and it has VERY comfortable interior, lots of dashboard.... stuff, and a very spacious trunk.
and if you choose the fortwo you will look like a loser, unless cars start looking like it (which they won't until 2015) so if its one of the two choose the forfour thingy __________________
might not b able to get the forfour so ima have to start looking for a car... @_@ my dads like well u gotta import it across the sea then across a continent and then it has to be americanized since its not sold here and etc.... so yeha i need to start looking for a sporty car with good mpg __________________
the only primary advantage to the smart car is it gets good mpg. however, that's all there is. it just gets you from point a to point b, there's no fun in it. sports cars are meant to be fun. that's why they're so powerful. they wouldn't actually be fast at all if it wasn't for the fun factor. so pretty much it's "look! i'm getting 100mpg! now watch as it takes me 15 secs to get from 0 to 60!" __________________
That car looks as queer as a queer gets. If you ride around in that thing your deffinatlly not straight. Mercurys remind me of black people. LoL all the black people have the State Trooper car models. Also I make Bio Diesel so I don't worry about fuel priceses. All in all together its about 2 bucks to fill my whole tank up. Im impressed with the crash test ratings on that car but.. It looks like a Fisher Price toy. What are Car company's thinking? You see how the first hydro cars looked like? They figured out nobody's buying them because they look gay. So the Honda finally stepped in and made a Civic that people like. Also better concept cars in the making..... __________________
I'd just like to point out, Smarts where designed for european cities, where buses have troubles driving through streets when a SUV is parked at the side, and not for the american continent where roads are as wide as a smaller german village.
OK, the last part is exaggerated, but you get the idea. The idea behind the smart being that short is that two should fit in one parking space. So judging this by american standards is as fair as judging american cars by european standards (3$/gallon is a little more than a third of what we currently pay for gas here in germany). __________________
thats $3 us dollars and neways i want something safe too and well i dont want to blend in with the crowd, almost all the asians and mexicans around here drive freakin suvs and vans and trucks so yeah... and thats all they sell if u wanted to get lets say a toyota corolla it would cost around $20k where it shud b around $15k get wat im saying? __________________
um... well newayz...... smart cars = flippin sweet... mini cooper = way slow... and gay... um... well yea... anyone ever play Grand Tourismo 3... yea put a mini cooper up against any car... the any car wud win and the top speed for that mini cooper will go like 60 mph... oh and mini coopers look gay as FUCK __________________
