Last May, while in Vancouver with [livejournal.com profile] kent4str, [livejournal.com profile] tdjohsn and [livejournal.com profile] rlegters, I saw a Smart Car for the first time. It's an amazingly compact bit of work. While I wasn't able to sit in it to judge fully, it struck me as being fairly roomy inside, at least more than I'd expect for such a tiny machine. I took some photos at the time, but the lighting in the garage sucked and I didn't have anything to show scale.

On Sunday, that changed.

As [livejournal.com profile] kent4str, [livejournal.com profile] cuyahogarvr, Woody and I left the Air & Space Museum in Dulles, VA, we saw another Smart Car, this one in the parking lot during daylight adjacent to a Suburban! What a comparison of scale!

Smart Car vs. Suburban 03 Smart Car vs. Suburban 03



Smart Car vs. Suburban 05 Smart Car vs. Suburban 05





I'm not sure I'd want to own one --[livejournal.com profile] kent4str probably wouldn't fit and there's no room for cargo-- but it's kinda neat.

As a recent "haulee" in the SoccerMomMobile, hear, hear. Quite comfortable and the bells and whistles are fabulous!
