Smart Cars

I just wanted to make a post about how cool I think Smart Cars are. In France, we saw them everywhere. It made sense- small cars fit on small streets. But to my surprise, after coming home from France I started noticing them in San Francisco (they recently started shipping to US). They seem to be catching on here as they are extremely convenient for parking on the streets of San Francisco. So many times you will see a parking spot in SF and find that it's just too small for your car. With the Smart Car, you can really fill in those tiny spots located all over the city. Also, you can park them perpendicular to a curb if you want. Good to see that these are starting to catch on. Big cities need small cars. They feel much more appropriate for city life than all these huge SUVs everywhere.
