That Cute Little Smart Car

I've been missing something lately on the way to work. Radio is on perfect, right down to the station with the two clownish deejays; traffic is the same, congested; sometimes cranes fly overhead; no traffic policeman in sight - which makes traffic smoother. Oops! Yet, there is something distinctly missing.

Got it! I miss that cute little red-and-grey car, the one that looks like a giant training sneaker. Yeah! It's that Smart car. We used to pass each other every morning on my way to work. I kinda like its look. Cute! The lady who drives it looks sweet too and I think she's conscious of her car attracting second, even third glances. Somehow you can tell.

There aren't many of these cars on the road here though. I wonder why. Could it be the price vis-a-vis its size? Or is it the smallness of it that gives the impression that it's not a safe car? If the latter is the reason, I think there is nothing to worry about as studies show that this tiny Smart car built-for-two scores big on safety. This pint-size, 8-foot 8-inch-long vehicle, the smallest car for sale in the U.S. market, has earned top scores in crash tests conducted by the insurance industry.
