  11. To qualify for test drive you must have two official ID’s, a valid drivers license and a completed organ donor card.

  19. Okay, we’re here – let’s spend those carbon credits we saved on something really snazzy!

    Phantom, are you actually Mark Steyn incognito? That is SOOOOO funny on several levels but I think because I’ve heard Steyn talk about the taxi situation in Minneapolis several times, even extra so!

  27. Those cars are great in Holland – hardly any snow, short distances to drive …
    Now, as for Canada: we had some snow, here in St. John’s, and after digging out the lane the … paul krugmans
    who work for the city came and plowed snow into our driveway.
    The stepdaughter came along to pick us up in her Tacoma, and rode over the piled-up snow with nary a hiccup.
    If she’d been driving a smart car (no chance) it would now be a lawn ornament in our front yard.

  28. I got stuck behind one of those little crappers going through the BC Mountains last summer. It was all downhill road and the idiot was one of those that would speed up on straightaway’s so you couldn’t pass, then slow down unrealistically on corners, oncoming hills and oncoming traffic. Before long I blew by the s*it who glared at me with a bad assed attitude when I went by.
    Around 50km up I found a motel for the night and the mini “dude” (with muscle shirt et al) had pulled up to get a room also, he actually tried flexing his muscles and staring me down in the lobby. I stopped what I was doing, faced him full on, and stared back; it took him a nano second to realize he wasn’t on some lefty blogsite or trolling SDA anymore and ran away like the little chicken sihts they are in real life.

  30. Prepared food for 4×4 Sport Rangers?
    Small dogs will have bits of leftover rubber for chew toys. Win win all ’round.

  31. Hey Phantom, even in a real sized cab do you think they would let a dog in? One of my favorite passtimes is when coming from the airport to home is getting the cabbie to stop at a jar store near my house. Worthy of an episode of little mosque on the prarie most times. Ah I guess you get your fun where you can.

  32. “Today only: buy any 2011 Mercedes-Benz and we’ll throw in that yellow toaster free — it’ll fit in your trunk! Instead of a spare tire…”

  36. Oh Lord won’t you see me
    as a Mercedes-Benz;
    My friends all have 4×4’s,
    with options like extends.
    Their vehicles are for the stranded
    – and abandoned in the snow.
    Oh Lord won’t you see me
    as a Mercedes-Benz.

  46. You will survive the first impact in an accident. The second, the third or the fourth, well…?

  48. I saw a slightly overweight lady get hit by one of those smart cars. She was rushed to hospital to get the darned thing removed.

  49. Here in rural Alberta we carry ski-doo’s in the back of our truck in the winter and quads in the summer. This thing looks like the ‘big city’ wannabe.

  50. @7:58 Knight 99 …
    I would bet good money that that car and driver were from the Island. Victoria most likely. Possibly Oak Bay. There is a remote chance they were from one of the Gulf Islands.
    Was there a strong smell of smugness from the tail pipe? … er … sorry stupid question.
    Meanwhile, can anybody please tell me exactly which Gulf the Gulf Islands are located in????
