Yes, my friends I guess I'm getting to the point that logic and common sense do not prevail. If I'm around next year, stateside that is, I'll be looking at a couple of potentialb new additions to the family....

1) Smart car for 2008, can be ordered from MB for $99 down...

Gosh, I can't ask for more fun and I'll be green as well.....

The smart car looks like something off an episode of Mr. Bean...
Guess I'd go with the scooter...at least it looks like it could get out of it's own way.

I think you would look good one of these.

RB, you are right....they are impressive, but I think they run around 35K, that in itself pushes it way out of my league.....

Sorry about the hi jack...But I have the hots for the new KTM X-Bow..

How about one of these? It's a Smart Car with a GSXR 1000 engine that's been modified to 160hp. A Smartuki. If I wanted to go that fast, I'd rather be on the GSXR.

DJ

That looks like all business, do they make them in my size (marketing)....and affordable?

Al, I just saved you 13,000 dollars. You can thank me by letting test drive (ride?) it.
ebaymotors item#280189270045 buy it now $21,890.



RB

I got to ride / drive one at a demo day. They are a lot of fun and I wouldn't mind having one but I would not get rid of either of my bikes to make room. The dealer here in Bradenton is selling them for around $15K.

If I only had the cash.....
