Well, now we know that the smart has arrived in Southern California. Just after taking my "medicine", I looked up at the big screen, and had to rub my tired eyes. Another high-speed chase! But HEY! They are chasing a smart!! I rubbed and blinked again, and, yep it's a smart! What was particularly funny was, the helicopter pilot shooting the chase was our own Derek Bell - a smart owner. Hopefully the footage will show up somewhere, because although quietly proud, Derek did a great job of…

<b>When I was born, the Dr. slapped my Mother....</b>I tell you, I get no respect.<br /> <br /> <br /> But seriously, you know how some people cannot be behind a vehicle larger than theirs, and will pass it - even if it's already speeding? Well, as much as I hate to admit it, I feel the same is true for our little guys. I've started to study it, and I notice that particularly guys with big pickups or SUV's (and little dicks) will change their driving behavior the instant that they <i>see</i> a smart, to pass it…

I've started to study it, and I notice that particularly guys with big pickups or SUV's (and little dicks) will change their driving behavior the instant that they <i>see</i> a smart, to pass it <u>at all costs</u>.

But, to say the most, I'm betting that many have used their license plates to bear the name or favorite feature of their fortwo. So, if you're one of those lucky smarts that showed up to the party with your own name tag (vanity plate), have your human send in a photo to post HERE.<p style="text-align: left;">…</p>
