I was just wondering.... does anyone know if they classify a 'smart' car as a sports car?
notice it's a RWD, 2-door, 2-seat vehicle....hmmm.... ever notice those driving them are morons? I think the car has more brainpower, they's why it's smart, not them....
If they'd lower the profile of that thing it might not be so F'n top heavy, and would get better gas mileage with a lower frontal surface area.
.... and why is it on 15" wheels? why not 13" to lower the Mass moment of inertia... and be more fuel efficient that way too.... not to mention lower the CG that way.
Sorry it's the engineer in me.... ya know, thinking.

my police ranting post,
last Friday, I'm working down south in Lovely Burien. I turn on to 1st ave south, while waiting at the 1st light I see a Burien Police car bomb through a red light proceed to t-bone a civilian car. This cop had no sirens, showed no flashing lights, and gave no notice of going illegally and very dangerously through a red light intersection with no regard for anyone's personal safety. Turns out the call the cop was 'racing to' already had three cops on the scene taking care of it and this genius almost killed me and everyone else on the street corning through the light hotter then swayz.
The street people who witnessed this happen were very upset and were yelling and cursing at the cops and wishing them harm among other things. These peoples tolerance towards the local police must be very thin...hmmm wonder why??? The Burien Police have dirtbags like this guy lurking the streets going 180 degrees from protecting and serving, but rather endangering and disturbing is more this pigs m.o.
I had my camera with me and got the 1st carnage shots of the accident, before the sheriff and local news choppers/crew got to it, even before this lady's blood was cleaned off her face. The damage to the nissan is minimized because the location the cop ran into her was at the wheel/axle, imagine if this was a side impact at the doors...
Also note in the last picture the amount of skid marks behind the Nissan, it is hard to see and you have to look close at the skid marks behind the cop....WAIT THERE ARE NONE.... HE NEVER FOR A SECOND TRIED TO AVOID THIS AVOIDABLE CRASH. Complete disregard for another humans life is what this cop showed the same traits of any low life he is supposed to be protecting the population from.
pics --> if you wanna see who was driving the police car it was the guy in the sweet cut off shorts
I'm unaware of the lady driving the nissan injuries, just looking at the pics it seems like a hard impact with plenty of neck and joint trauma. The medics were having to take her away on a stretcher, and while I was on the street observing this I did not see her move much inside the car and she did not leave under her own power, so the injuries must have been that serious. She ended up leaving the scene in a ambulance, and that was that.
Just picture your own personal day going like this for a second, granted this is possible by any single automobile to do the same thing on the road but.... the fact this is a ''highly trained'' law enforcement personal supposibly going through all kinds of hi-po driving situational training doing this TO YOU... and you may just get a idea of how fucked up that really was, and why I'm so pissed. Then think about thie if I would have been maybe 30 seconds sooner this dirtbag would have possible taken me out and I would have been the unlucky one not going home tonight...
After I was through taking pictures, the Sheriffs had all the streets around this blocked off and I was able to talk to 3-4 officers directing traffic, they obviously didn't know I saw everything. Each one told me the same lie, The officer was responding to a call when this woman pulled out in front of him causing the accident, same covering their own *** BULLSHIT that I would expect from them, **** the police.
anyway I'm done on my rant, I wanted to let this situation be known, I don't really care about anyone else opinion on this, I'm just stating the facts that happened that day in Burien, I'm not going out to change your view on police and your not changing mine, they have the power to kill you and even innocent people are not safe from that just the same as crooks

Stick it to them good. 
I got nothing against cops, just ones who are doing **** like this.
Good ones who protect people, by all means - we need them in some cases.
