I would like to note to our dear reader that the Gambler 500 is not a race. You can win awards for feats of off-roading, trash cleanup, creativity, being an awesome person, doing the most with the least, and more. Read more

You’re correct on the fuel economy (ignoring the diesel as we never officially got it) but not so much on safety. While I’ve never crashed any of mine, there are plenty of documented real-world crashes out there that show that the cars are about as safe as advertised. Read more

I’d...I’d drive it. I’m not sure what that says about me. Read more

Cars and the culture around them aren’t always the most welcoming things, but one of my missions in life is to encourage those who are interested to explore cars, boats, planes or really anything with an engine/motor. Read more

I presented as a woman at work, but was forced to take everything off and wipe off my makeup before I came through that door. In one instance, a curious police… Read more

I think I’ve said it to another reader before but I’m a sucker for something with a Smart badge on it. You could glue that logo onto a pile of rust in the forest and I’d probably take the bait. lol Read more

That’s 20 seconds stock. Read more

The newer 451 CDIs get into that range. There was a mileage competition years back where someone apparently got 99 mpg in theirs. Granted, that may have been imperial gallons. Read more

Since so many of the Smarts on the marketplace are either boring colors, worn down, or too expensive, I totally believe that you couldn’t find the right one. Read more

I took a road trip late last month to southeast Ohio and I made sure I didn’t have to stop in Indiana because of those prices. Read more

I won’t be able to import this thing until I am an old woman. But perhaps I can convince Smart to ship me out to Europe or China to drive one! Read more
