Hydraulic Ram

You know how human beings anthropomorphize just about anything? We see hands in the clouds, the grill of a car with the lights and the logo seems to make a face, and so on? Some guys, when they see something like this, see something else entirely. That's one well-hung bulldozer.

Smart Car

On the other hand, I spotted this adorable little SmartCar in Belltown near my office. It was parked outside a retirement village, although it could easily have belonged to someone visiting the antiques or wine shops across the street. I never realized just how small they were; it does take up only half the parking space alloted. It has a logo on the back that reads "Fortwo," and they'd better be a Euro small two, not an American supersize two.

Weighing in on the Smart Car issue...

My Gram Tyler would have loved one. Her favorite car was the Dodge Colt she had in the 70's 'cause it was little enough for her to reach the pedals and still see over the steering wheel. There's lots of people who would appreciate a smaller car, especially in an eclectic (and racially mixed) area like Seattle. And what about little people?

With the amount of crap I haul around in my car (especially the camping gear in the trunk) it's probably not useful for me, but I bet I'd be comfortable driving it. I can barely bring my seat forward far enough in my Toyota Corolla and that's almost too big a car for me.
