Today was an absolutely beautiful day, the sun was shining, the temperature was above zero and I received a mark that was worth the effort which the group I worked with put into it. I'm extremely pleased.
Question of the day, why do they call these small little cars "Smart Cars" when they can't even get the door open to get out of the parkade? This driver had to back up 4 times to get out, he just didn't have enough weight to get the door open. I almost got out of my car and offered to go out first but I was enjoying the show too much, I found it hilarious! So how smart is that, they forgot to put a bit of weight to these cars. I tell ya I sure wouldn't want to be in one of these if a big wind came up, I'd be blown clear to the next province!
The Little Engine That Couldn't
Well done on the mark and group effort and naughty you for watching someone struggle like that ;-} I cannot say anything as anyone who buys one of those cars is asking for it. They should have got out, picked it up and carried it out lol.
ReplyDeleteGood point Si! lol
ReplyDeleteBrrr - I understand that Edmonton was the 2nd coldest place on earth (apart from Antarctic?) the other day...
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
Too funny. I had one of the first Honda Civics and they were just a little bigger than this. I loved my car, though. I know you would have helped him out eventually. When you got done laughing.
ReplyDeleteSmart Cars are one of the safest out there, their frame construction is similar to that of a Motor-Sport Roll-Cage. The passengers of these cars can survive the severest crashes against much larges SUVs and Trucks at pretty significant speeds!
ReplyDeleteBut I am not a great fan either . . . I'd rather have a full size car ;-)
The first photo is amazing . . . *Thumbs Up*

LSP, we weren't the 2nd coldest, it sure felt like it though. I believe we were the 10th coldest spot on earth, it was cold!
ReplyDeleteJudy I sure would have helped him out, I didn't want to stay underground all day! lol
Joseph I just head of one fella that was in an accident in his smart car, it was totaled and he was lucky to live through it. I wouldn't feel safe in one of those at all, plus get stuck in a parkade, no thanks! lol
Thank you for the compliment on my first photo, I like that one as well, I think what I like about it is the angle I took it at, it gives it that extra bit of .... something! :-) Cheers!
Glad we're above zero here too Darlene ;-)
ReplyDeleteAbout those 'smart' cars - they're so small you' d have to get out to scratch your elbow ! And if you had a passenger, he/she would have to walk home if you needed to pick up a loaf of bread. Aside from that I guess they're good on gas, but I'd hate to drive into a puddle or pothole in one ;-)
