Thats just cruel and unsually punishment.

First off I feel sorry for all the owners of those cars in the first place, the gas miliage is good, but i've seen better looking things built outta legos. Maybe they should install hooks :locked: on the bottom you you can chain them down.:locked: 
1. It would protect against that happening
2. just incase a strong wind comes in you wont have to worry about damageing the neighbors house with a smart plane.

A buddy and I did that to a Chevette once, with the owner watching (and helping)...
 
The car was partially off the road in a ditch (snowstorm, so the ditch was soft). It was on quite a precarious angle and we offered to help. Attempts at pushing it out of the ditch were futile, so we decided to push it further in (to get the ass of the car out of the road so traffic or the plow wouldn't hit it). My buddy, myself and the owner gave it a mighty heave, and over it went, shiny side down. The look on the owner's face (while probably remarkably similar to the looks on our own) was priceless. It was very deep snow, though, so the car wasn't damaged.
 
Come to think of it, we used to pick the arse of Chevettes up and move them around in parking lots all the time. Only the aforementioned one ever ended up on its roof though...

At least it would take maybe a group of 10-15 to tip our cars, other wise i find this pretty funny.

Don't be hatin' the ForTwo, guys - with gas at $3.11USD per gallon here that shiznitbox is looking better and better...


...on second thought, hate the hell out of it. Gas would never get expensive enough that I'd drive that!

One day when I win Lotto and my house is big enough I'll get one so I can make it from one end of the house to the other in under 3 hours!  I'll use it INSIDE the house!

Not even close.  You see, you need at least two people.  One gets on all fours on one side of the cow, while you get on the other side of the cow and push.  :D

That was a pretty funny pic though.

Oh man.  Thats too good!  Used to do that to the little cars back in highschool.  Would you believe a fiesta to be heavier than an omni?

It took 15 of us to rotate a 1982 Cadillac Sedan deville with a 425 in it 90 degrees in high school.  The owner actually bet us to do it!  Instead of taking up one spot we spun the car so it took up 3.

I am so F***ing mad right now I could just spit bullets. I got woke up this morning at 6:30 by a phone call from my neighbor telling me that my smartie was laying on it's side in my driveway. It broke the window, both fenders, the mirror, the door handle, the door panel and I don't know what else. It's still laying on it's side waiting for the police to get here. Some liite bas***ds with nothing else to do at 2:00 in the morning and no respect for anyone elses property. Good thing I didn't catch them in the act as I'm sure I'd be on my way to jail right now. Here's a pic of my poor smartie right now and I'll post more when it's upright again. I'm puuting a $1000.00 reward for the arrest of those responsible. I'm  sure that they'll be bragging to their buddies at school. It just  me off. It's not like we live in a so called bad neighborhood. Maybe there's just no good neighborhoods left


well if you were gonna beat up those guys for tipping your car i dont think they'd be afraid of you.... you know when you drive somthing like that  :rollin:  :rollin:  :giggle:  :hick:  :rollin:  :rollin:

Those Smartie Driving assholes were getting pissed off because there were guests visiting there forum.  Something like it was the most viewed thread on there forum.  All they said was people were just there to poke fun and get ideas on tipping little cars.  I didn't really believe it when I read it but hey little people can be weird I guess.

Well its funny in the first place so, if they dident want the attention they shouldent post  like that.

Wow, those smart drivers turned into ****ing assholes in that thread!  I hope we don't come across like that to outsiders, what a way to turn people off a car scene!!!

I've got a Type 1 VW, my parents had them when the stupid "Beetle Moving" was a fun past time.  If you drive a weird subcompact, that's one of the things to expect.  Hell, now days it'd probably happen to my parents Hyundai Scoupe (that I'm driving until Bird has new Radiator :( ) or my sister's Daewoo Lanos, well maybe if people weren't too busy laughing at them for not being real cars to consider doing that type stuff.

shiznit happens, shiznit has always happened, and shiznit will continue to happen.  "Oh no, somebody did an act of vandalism against one of our cars"  Yep, you Smart drivers are the only people in the universe to EVER have that type stuff happen. 

Yes, it's hurt the car; but it's just a flesh wound.  You now have a reason to CUSTOMIZE your already very different car so you can make it stand out even among other Smarts.  And stop whining about how much more interest worldwide is being given to these cars because of one little incident, many more of these Underground Advertising events will it take before people might seriously consider these as cars.  Sure we can't get them in America, but how many countries CAN get a Smart?  "Haha, it's a funny picture, wow I didn't know they were that (fuel efficent, safe, goofy lookin', whatever...)"

Atleast they didn't steal parts, or the whole car, it's not totaled, they didn't completely destroy panels that can't be replaced.  You've got support from the manufacturer and you aren't stuck with only being able to find 20 year old used parts in very questionable conditions.  They should be glad the idiots didn't set it on fire after flipped as it's volitile blood was pouring out onto the driveway.

Hmmm, post 666 and I was ranting about something....  The devil made me do it.

1991 Hyundai Scoupe, 1.6, 5-spd.  That car has absolutely NO TORQUE.  Anywhere.  (yes I even checked the glovebox and trunk to see if there was any spare torque somewhere)  Power is nearly decent for something that light, but it's all HP, there's nothing in the bottom-end.  Plus it's an FF, so weird handling, torque steer, drivewheels unloading and being so chirpy... 

It's faster reving and power/weight is sorta decent, but my T-bird can definately out handle and out brake this thing!  (Yes, my T-bird still has the stock 10/9" disk/drum combo) 

I did find out that were I actually interested in doing it, just about any Mitsubishi I4 engine will drop into the Scoupe: DSM Eclipse Turbo, any of the Evo series, MIVEC...

While it is a bit longer than a smart we are at a point where the scion xA might as well be one i would say that they are in the same weight class at least


Take the back seat out of a scion and you have yourself a toyota Smart car.
