D'oh, wish I could edit my comment as I literally thought of this after I wrote my comment (just to play with the car's name):
Smart ForTwo? Or Motorized Stroller ForTwo?

canadaphant says:

Pretty sure gjupp nailed it, but I'll try 'The Mercedes that makes the CL Sports Coupe look good'

canadaphant says:

11:30 AM, 01/23/09

Whoops, that should be 'C Class Sports Coupe'...friggin Mercedes designations...

The Smart ForTwo, designed to make high speed chase videos in Cali that much better when it takes to the sidewalks!

No caption, but a story about this. My brother in law was visiting family in Germany & his uncle has a Smart. He's also very impatient. My brother in law was very nervous driving with him normally (narrow streets & driving fast), but what really threw him was when they were stuck in traffic & he just decided to jump the sidewalk & drive on it.

The Smart Fortwo Passion: taking the pole position. Figuratively, anyway.

What do you mean, officer, I am parked within 18 inches of the curb.

Guy in the sweeet C230 'Kompressor'- "Look, someone's dog left a big pile of crap on the sidewalk and they didn't pick it up. I can't stand that! Gross!"

"The smart was trying to hide from his big bitter brother C-Class brother, but he wasn't small enough to hide behind that light pole. After spotting him big brother beat him up for being so cute and stealing all the hippy ladies!"

A tin can with 2 seats: $25000+
An oil change for a 2-seat tin can: $200+
Parking a 2-seat tin can on the sidewalk to save parking meter charge: PRICELESS

(Ok, I plagiarized.)

On the plus side, at least we have an entry into 'parking the Smart in odd places' competition

altimadude00 says:

This is so much better than the carpool lane, but I can't understand why they put all these mailboxes here!

Why did that speed bump bark?

I'm checking to see that no one parked in the sidewalk as a service to blind people.

I'VE HAD IT WITH THOSE DAMN SKATEBOARDERS!!!

Getting my idea from airport carts, my ride service accommodates little old ladies one at a time.

They never said I couldn't park BEHIND the fire hydrant!

All I need is a chain to lock it to the street light.

On windy days you would probley tie it down.
A Lotus has some sort of aerodinamics.

Top speed depends on lunch.
