How to get 140 mpg in your Smart car

Post by kostby »

As seen on I-69 in northern Indiana Actually, the motorhome was TOWING the Smart, but the joke was just too good to pass up.

Wow! They just about had enough room behind that beast that they could have lined up two smart cars side by side. lolSomething like that would make for a great car to drive around in once you got to your destination. Much better than towing a Hummer or something back there.

One would think you could just put some kind of rack on the back of the motorhome - like peole do on cars for bicycles. Save a lot of wear and tear (and odometer miles) on the SmartCar.
