i'd like to take issue with item #3...
that's sad about the labrynths, i live in union square and have always liked them...
It's a photo of a Smartcar. They're all over Europe and were supposed to begin being sold here last year. Are they really stating to show up here? That's great!
So the Smart finally made it to the US!!!
Bravo. We've had that car for years here in Europe and it's so easy to park that car. It was about time.
