The SMART car isn't.

I saw one on the road again this morning. I gotta say, every time I see one a few things run through my head:
  • How fucking hard do you have to pedal that thing?
  • How many hamsters would it take to power it properly?
  • If it ran on "AA" batteries could I get by with a single 4 pack for the trip to work?
  • Would a good tailwind propel it?
  • If two people were inside, could they stick oars out the windows for propulsion and ride it like a canoe?
  • Is it really worth looking THAT much like a douche to save gas?
  • Can you keep your wallet in your pocket when you get in, or do you have to remove it to squeeze inside the car?
I just want to ram one so I can see how many times it will flip over from 70 mph before bursting into flames. I figure there has to be some redeeming value to these shitboxes and exploding in comic fashion may just be as good as anything.
