Okay, well, Larry’s Smart car is orange. Larry likes orange. He sold me a great orange chair from his store Design Warehouse in Santa Fe last week. I learned a few things: Smart cars get their name by merging Swatch, Mercedes Benz, and art. They’re for backing right up to the door of the pizzeria and loading the box in through the rear window. Designers thought it was a good idea to make a car for people who couldn’t park. Perfect car for New Mexico. There are some 300 of them that rallied in Albuquerque last weekend. At 8 feet plus 2.5 inches long, less than 5 feet wide and about 5 feet tall. the car is definitely something we could have picked up more easily than Tom Danziger’s Volkswagen. They’re really cute aren’t they? For more on: HowStuffWorks “Introduction to How the Smart Car Works”.
And: if you see one ask the owner a few questions. Don’t tailgate. (thank you, Larry, for the pictures.)
