 Bimmer! Okay, I'm done, sorry to bore those not interested.

I'm sorry but I couldn't deal with everybody laughing at me as I drove around town in that thing.

You should get a Smart Car and be WAY ahead of the rest. There'll all over big cities in Europe, and half the size of a regular sedan.  They're cheap and pretty funny looking, but apparently extremely comfortable (for two only) and practical.

Obviously a man of high class.

wont sell them here for at least 2 years. Even then it is likely to be the coupe and the 44 (for four) which is a dolled up mitsubishi.
 
 Every time I saw a smart in London a big grin developed, they are just so cute. It would be great for parking around Adams Morgan.

In Dusseldorf, you are allowed to park the Smart Cars *two* to a parking space.  Tell me how much that would rock in A.M.

I did that exact thing in A.M. with my mini....I squeezed it between two cars right on the road where the cars park at an angle outside the restaurants....got a round of applause from people eating outside. When I went back to the car to go home a DC cop just happened to be stood nearby. He came up to me and said that was technically against the law but he didn't have the heart to ticket the car because it would be like kicking a puppy dog.

That's why they've passes a special law in Germany that Smart cars are allowable two per space.  it's brilliant.
