I am very impressed with the European way of driving. It has been said that good Parisian drivers get home with scratches, not dents. Mostly I really like the cars they have out here. This is a picture of the notorious Smart Car, a little two-seat wonder that was made specifically for its fuel economy. Allegedly this little guy gets 20 kilometers to the liter. There's about four liters to a gallon, and a kilometer is 60% of a mile, so that's 20*.6*4 = 48 miles per gallon. Not too shabby. Not only that, but you can pretty much park it anywhere in Paris, so long as you know how to parallel park. According to a web site I just looked at, they are fixing to start selling these in the United States. Sign me up! I want a red a black one just like this. Believe it or not, the parking spot this is in is for compact cars. It sort of looks like a little kid wearing his dad's suit coat.
