Smile Sister's SMART Car

Don't know if anyone has seen these as they are still unusual in the states. My sister ordered hers a year ago and it just came in. 1 Liter engine has a top speed of 90MPH. Apparently she gets stopped everywhere with questions about it.

I'm 6'6", 235lbls and I fit ok except for the steering wheel. Now if only we can get a turbo'd 13B in there...hahaha.

Onto the pics!

I know a lot of people don't like them, but i'm kinda a fan. They have a SMART dealer pretty close to where i live, so i see them quite a bit. Somebody in particular is putting a LOT of miles on their yellow SMART; because i see it everywhere.

I just saw one the other day here driving around. I think they're hideous and wouldn't be caught dead in one. I've been wondering how far one would go if I punt it with my truck.
Like kicking a soccer ball.

What the hell is a "5 speed automated manual transmission"? Is it an automatic or a manual or one that shifts for you if you rev it too high?

it has a sequential gearbox and the diesel is very fun to drive. the cars were very popular in the beginning ofr advertising because they draw so much attention

a litre of gas in europe is somewhere ~270 (usd) per litre, makes it ~550 for a gallon. taking a guess really, i have no idea, all i know is its ridiculous.
