235mpg in unpossible according to the big three. I saw a Smart Car in EA that had Shark energy drink decals over it. They are pretty sweet in a funny way. You know, for cruising around a small village. I wouldn’t want to drive one on zee highway. ---

Yeah don’t buy Shark Energy drink. I used to work for the owner, he’s a less than savory character to say the least. ---

They ran one of those things into a barrier at 70mph and the thing was almost totally unharmed. That’s not a good thing, that means all of the crash enegry was transmitted directly to the passengers. The point isn’t to save the car, it’s to sacrifice the car to save the occupants. Well, actually, you’re just plain wrong. Crash test ratings come from sensors on the dummies, not post crash evaluations of the car’s structures. Here are some cliff notes. Side impact: > **Test details:** > > The Smart Fortwo was introduced in the 2008 model year. As its name implies, the Smart seats only two people; there is no rear seat. > During the crash, the driver door unlatched. This opening didn’t significantly affect dummy movement during the test but shouldn’t happen because, in some crashes, it could allow partial or complete occupant ejection, especially if the occupant is unbelted. This door opening resulted in a structure rating downgrade from good to acceptable. > **Injury measures:** > > Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity. > Rear passenger — (Not applicable) > **Head protection:** > > Driver — The dummy’s head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side airbag that deployed from the seat. > Rear passenger — (Not applicable) Frontal offset: > **Test details:** > > The Smart Fortwo was introduced in the 2008 model year. As its name implies, the Smart seats only two people; there is no rear seat. > > Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy’s head hit the roof rail. > > Injury measures — Measures taken from the neck and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the the dummy’s head were high when it hit the steering wheel through the airbag, indicating that head injuries would be possible. Forces on the right tibia indicate that injuries to the lower leg would also be possible. Head acceleration from the roof rail hit was negligible. ---

That thing is so goofy looking that it is awesome. On a side note, I saw two burly men in construction vests driving a Smart car. :lol: It humored me. ---
