Got rid of my gas guzzler!

[Sonic 1992]

Well, that full size Toyota Tundra was killing me on gas and monthly payments, So it had to go.  Here is the new car that I got to replace it.  I went from 18mpg to 40+ mpg and 250.00 less on payment! 


I Love it!   If I need a truck for any errand, I'll just rent one for now.

WOw Barry, can you provide us a picture of you driving this car? I mean you're so tall... and this car looks so small

i was just gong to post the same thing, i remember having a mini and i'm nearly 6ft, but i found it perfectly comfortable though
parking just got a whole lot easier to find barry

It looks like a "SMART" , and they are bigger on the inside than you expect from a car that look so small



I did the opposite....

I changed the Seat Ibiza for a Mitsubitshi ASX  

I cannot wait untill october (delivery time  )

[DarthNuno]

Guess what? I'm also right now without a car since two weeks  I'm waiting a new one... but ... delayed all the time! I got from my garage a total shit car during the wait  I should get the new one in less than 10 days ...
Fortunately, a colleague is ready to go with me and take its car in case of "Emergency Road Trip" or any 'Arcade Life Style story"

Still got a picture of your pickup Barry 



This picture reminds me a lot of good memories 

[Sonic 1992]

Thanks for the compliments!    I'll get a pic of me in the car asap!   I did love the truck, but the costs were creating a hardship, and it was pointless to drive the big truck 65 miles per day to just go to and from work. Maybe later, I'll get another one, but a smaller pickup. 

[Sonic 1992]

Yes, Etienne.. You got it!       Here are some more pix of me and my new Smart Car.







Very Comfortable, & Lots of room!

Wait a minite, that's my reanult clio style!!!

[polaris]

i suppose really its just the front half of a car, for two people, no reason for it to be cramped. i wish like you i could have my van and a small car, that would be perfect

[ckong]

It looks like a fun car, but is there any collision protection? I mean, you don't have much space between you and a bumper of a big lorry, for me a reason not to buy a car like that. Or is it so leight that you just bounce back?

Actually indeed it does what you mention...
When the Smarts were released I talked with a guy that worked at a car damage repair shop and he said it was almost like a tennis-ball....

[Muerto]

Well, i imagine there´s not much room in my new baby??? - or can you find a picture of it too, hauling an arcade/pinball machine André??
