Smart Car USA! I'm all over it.

When I returned from Europe, I mentioned my deep infatuation with the Smart Car, which, at the time was not available in the U.S.


Well, apparently now it is. Here's a classic video demonstrating its deceiving spaciousness by fitting NBA player Udonis Haslem into it.



Haslem, just for reference, currently plays for the Miami Heat and is a former Florida basketball star famous for once throwing a basketball at a UGA fan’s head during warm-ups. I saw it happen, and it hit the kid dead-on from about 40 feet. Though I didn’t like him at the time; it’s still pretty awesome.

Anyhow, I know the car’s a glorified scooter, but this is still pretty awesome.
