As always, my apologies for crappy cellphone pics.

Chatted up a couple Carlsson employees from Florida headquarters who were in Los Angeles on business.

Damn that car was teeny tiny.

probably the cleanest aftermarket smart i've seen...

Stormwind

All look and no go and appearently no stop either still with drum brakes and all.

not like you've want to go fast in that car... if you want go, get a hayabusa engine swap. lol

Have you had a chance to drive a Smart, Liz? They are classicly unstable, pound all over road bumps, rock back and forth like a Bronco during the slow transmission shifts, and, despite the surround-roll cage and some durable hardware, have little crash protection in all but the slowest impacts. Somehow they passed our safety standards, but it's difficult to see how. They also need premuim gas and have only a 2/24 warranty.

don't apologize - thanks for taking them!
(IMO, girls that are into cars are just too kewl )

car looks clean....just for looks tho right?

with lower oil prices and a crappy economy, I think sales of the Smart will significantly drop. A crappy drivetrain and warranty don't help either.

I was expecting something pretty horrible - but it looks like rims and front and rear airdams. Still doesn't make me a fan of these little turds on wheels.

When I see them on the road, I just want to bump them with my car to make them spin out of control.. "how's that mileage working out for you now?"

If anyone hasn't watched the youtube vid of the Smartcar w/ the Hayabusa engine - go watch it. INSANE - not to mention this is the only way I'd own one.

Three-lug FTW!

Yeah, but there's no weight to stop, either.

Oh crap, never knew that

I say it all the time: "People who buy these cars arent' too smart"

mmarshall

Probably doesn't need any more than 3 lugs. Neither the car nor the wheel is heavy enough. My brother's old Renault 5 (LeCar) has three-lug wheels.

ArmyofOne

top gear actually crashed one and it faired pretty well.

as for its mileage, it gets about as good as my civic...for 2x the price.

Nope and I never will. It reminds me of those little toy cars you rub on the floor so they can zoom off.....

Psst....I'm not really that into cars, it's just that I used to work in the industry. If the opportunity presents itself I'll look but I don't go out of my way to chase cars down.
Don't tell the other guys on here though it'll ruin my image, let's just keep it between us.

HAHAHAHA..I just got a visual........
