I saw one on the interstate a few months ago cruising along at about 70. It was tiny compared to the ML or GL or whatever I was in. I was really concerned about how it would handle the wake from a big truck, and a direct physical interaction --FT Sent from iFōn > On Jul 11, 2023, at 4:23 PM, Randy Bennell via Mercedes > wrote: > > On 11/07/2023 9:46 AM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes wrote: >> One of these things might be interesting at $1k >> >> https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/235844749292770 >> > We saw quite a number of these Smart cars around when they first came out > here with the diesel engine but they have pretty much disappeared. > > I don't believe the engines stood up.
