The boy and I just took a co-worker's brand spankin' new Smart car out for a spin! Damn - this thing makes our tiny Honda Fit look monstrous. But, just like our Fit, you don't feel like you're in a small car when you're in the Smart car - the windows and moonroof are ginormous, making the inside seem much bigger than it is.

The boy drove while I sat in the passenger seat, which, by the way, is actually a bit more comfy and roomy than our car. *cough* He said the pick up and braking are a bit slower and stiffer than our car, but that it still felt peppy. The reality of the car's size hit us when the boy checked his blind spot before changing lanes... silly boy - there is practically no blind spot!

As much as I love the car, it wouldn't have been practical for us to have purchased one. We bought our car specifically so we can go camping and hiking and all that kinda stuff that we need cargo space for. For strictly city people, however, this car is incredible. I may be singing a different tune, though, when and if a 4-seater Smart ever comes to Canada.
