Default Look what I found in my neighborhood!

I didn't even know we had these in America. They are Smart cars, basically overgrown golf karts...





This one looks like it's got Benz headlights...




I was driving on the way to the bank and I saw one of them out of the corner of my eyes and I hit the brakes and turned around to take a look. And what do you know I found a set of them!

We don't have those in America. You should ring their doorbell and ask how they got em.

(BTW Smart is a joint venture between Benz and Swatch.)
