I thought that was one of the main reasons for the design, so you could easily park in a city.

If it wasn't so horrible in case of an accident, I'd buy one, too.

That is a cool shot.

I thought you fold the Smart Car and carry it everywhere in your pocket.

You could only do that in NYC w/ a Smart ForTwo or a classic Austin Mini

They are actually safer then you might think.

thats parked illegal though. Even though they do it overseas, most laws here in the states says that the 2 right wheels have to be within X amount of inches to the curb. (or left wheels if parked on a one way road) Parking illegally isn't too smart. haha. :cool:

maybe someday the laws will be tweaked in favor of micro cars, so this can be done without being ticketed.
