Smartcar Woes

smartcar towing

Ever started parallel parking only to have your stick get jammed and refuse to go into reverse? Sucks. Fortunately there was an extra large spot that could be coasted into. Oh, except “park” is on the other side of “reverse” and if you can’t go beyond reverse and into park you can’t take the keys out of the ignition. And therefore you can’t lock the car. And therefore you can’t go home to urinate without risking getting your car stolen (which would be difficult because it would require a second person to push the car in reverse out of the parking spot while the other mans the wheel, but still).

The good thing is that the roof had been popping off for about 6 months now but we’ve been too lazy to take it in to get fixed. This way we didn’t even have to drive it in to the shop!

At this point I’d still recommend the little bugger but that feeling may change if new problems arise after the warranty has ended.
