The san francisco city workers' union is filing suit to prevent the city

Some [EMAIL PROTECTED] in san rafael sells electric smarts, apparently. I

they were approved either. I've seen a few buzzing
Smart doesn't make electric smarts either, perhaps you're confused

Take a look at the car *before* the accident. Not a whole lot of
crumple room in the front of that car...and not much less
afterwards. Reminds me a bit of a VW Microbus, where all the
crumple is in the knee, not the bodywork.

decelleration g-forces by slowing the

Actually I may still have a video of the Smart in an offset head on
crash against a W220 S-class.
In that one the little Smart car does a pirouette and the driver's door
is easier to open than this crash video.
