Rivals only the Pontiac Aztek in supreme ugliness.

Wow, I'm quite suprised on how well it did given its size. I don't see too many of those little suckers around, I think they're pretty cool.

Please don't even compare a Smart to an Aztek...

hpowders · 03-22-2011, 11:39 PM

Why not?

Keep in mind its less energy generated hitting a wall than another car going 50MPH...

username604 · 03-23-2011, 12:12 AM

Lol that's terrifying. Looks like it has no crumple zone. All the glass shattered lol
I wonder how a 5 series would have done in comparison.

JayKay335i · 03-23-2011, 12:13 AM

It actually does very well. Its built similar to a race car monocoque.

What I got out of the video: smart car takes a looooong time to reach 70mph

Craig@SupremePower · 03-23-2011, 12:29 AM

looks like ya would have survived less a couple legs

always scares me seeing one of those next to a semi on the highway.. here's something pretty funny.. look what our local 'Smart' car is connected to.. http://bit.ly/dFXb3p so if 70hp doesn't cut it, you can walk over to the connected showroom and get yourself 550hp .. totally stupid dealer combo

That video was uploaded on YouTube almost 6 years ago. Very late.

Well, I wasn´t the one who called you stupid, but you´re wrong. A car hitting a rigid, unmovable obstacle, will have to dissipate as much energy as if it had collided head-on with an identical car going at the same speed. The total amount of energy dissipated will be twice in the second case, but it will be absorbed by two cars, in equal parts.

"Newton was a pussy".

Very classy. Flaming someone who is dead who can't defend himself.

I will call Nabisco and see if any of his relatives are working in the Fig Newton factory and would like to reply to your provocation.

Please do. King Henry the VIII and the Roman Emperor Nero were a pussies too. Please find their relatives and see if they would like to reply.

I called the O'Henry candy bar factory and when I asked if any relatives of Henry VIII still worked there, the rude customer service gal called me a "nut" and hung up. I'm switching to Clark Bars.

Nero will be tougher, but I'm working on it. Maybe fiddle factories would have some leads.
