On the Smart-related topic...
I had the opportunity to pull up beside a Smart car at a stoplight a few weeks back. We both had our windows open, and I noticed the driver doing the old "looking-without-looking-like-you're-looking" move that Spridget drivers are familiar with. I couldn't resist: I caught his eye, exaggeratedly looking UP at him. Then, in a perfect deadpan, drawled, "That's a mighty big SUV you've got there, mister!"
It got a good laugh out of both of us. Give it a try next time you're beside a Smart car.

Good one Bill, not near as good a story but your story reminded me, today I was driving the wife's Honda Fit, when a new Fiat 500 which still had the in transits pulled up next to me, funky light green, pretty cool, I give the gal the thumbs up. I have small car envy, I honestly can't tell one SUV from another without looking at a badge, but small cars are so cool. Sorry to digress, back to your regularly scheduled humor.
