Gradual update #2 -- Smart Car
I knew my minivan wouldn’t be so mini around here, but when compared to the Smart Cars, it looks like a behemoth! When Grandma was here, she commented that these cars were so tiny you could hear the mice running inside the engines. The kids really had to think about that one. They’re designed so they can be parked headfirst along the curb since their length is the same as their width. Pretty ingenious way around parking issues here...as long as you only need to drive two people somewhere since there’s no backseat. What’s really scary is seeing these cars on the Autobahn--they’re not meant for travel at those high speeds.
