I have a friend with a Smart Car. She is also a quilter. She puts all her stuff in the back....and I mean she has to really pack it well to get her sewing machine and all her other stuff in it. I personally don't like them. It made me feel as if I were stuffed into a cocoon and wasn't able to move very much. That and I sorta like to be AWAY from the front end of the car. LOL

I've seen those cars. Are they safe? Are they pricey? They remind me of the car in the old Grape Ape cartoons. I drive an SUV but that car sure would fit well in my garage!:)

We have a Smart Car. we've had it for three years now and we love love love it! It's red and black with a vanity plate that says..Tiny Red... Its amazing how much room there is inside. I also have a Mazda Millenia and I don't have the room that 'Tiny' does. Its also amazing how much you can get into it. Try it, you'll like it.

When we were in London they were everywhere. They looked so cute. They aren't very expensive I think around $15,000, which is alot cheaper than the one I want.

This car would not be our only car, probably just a summer car.
Heck, it is so small we could tuck it in the corner of the garage. I really don't know how it would handle in snow.
