Re: Not Quite Ready For Prime Time Smart
Cool. I wonder if it's difficult to remove the doors from a Smart ForTwo.
Or a Civic sedan. Just wondering.

Re: Not Quite Ready For Prime Time Smart
Just goes to show that all the car really is, is a go-kart with a/c and power brakes.

Re: Not Quite Ready For Prime Time Smart
My son pointed out that if it were driven a little more sanely, it could probably get the same or possibly even better mpg than the original powerplant. But then there would be the emissions issue. |

Re: Not Quite Ready For Prime Time Smart
Funny how they just tip the car over to work on it. Take a small car and strip it to the frame = no jack stands needed.

Re: Not Quite Ready For Prime Time Smart
The most amazing thing I've seen, concerning the SMART CAR is this video.
Enjoy!
