People are buying these up fast and there is a waiting list at the one dealer around here! I think you are crazy to own a Smart Car in this country. With all of the SUV's around here I would hate to get into an accident with one in a Smart Car. Anyway, I would drive this one...I'm serious this is hilarious! (make sure you keep watching the first 30+ seconds are only still shots...then the fun begins! )

That thing was amazing!! Never saw a smartcar drifting before!! Now where is the bag to catch the lawn clippings???? It reminds me of all these little yapping dogs that women have with them these days, though enormously more redeeming!!

OMG that was the crappiest video i've ever seen. A toys R us cell phone can do better.... and that annoying "music"... I would have like to see it do some runs how fast it can accelerate not how much smoke it can blow.

But on the other hand I guess its cool.

THis is MUCH better

Yeah, even the "&fmt=18" YouTube trick didn't help either of them much (or at all...)

Still a cool mod and I'm sure it would be a blast to drive...
