So all the tree huggers Still Want A SMART Car?
ChadTower:
I love the pics that keep getting posted as if anyone would be expected to survive such an accident in any passenger vehicle. I hear if you chuck a smart car and an F150 into a volcano the A/C fails. Bummer.

Unless you are driving a recent version (post 2004), driving an F150 is not a very wise choice. That's a truck and the manufacturer didn't even have to worry about safety feature that are standard on cars which are designed to move people.
Look at how it folds up a crash test:

Typical accident with trucks like that is a roll:
You're just as unsafe in a few year old F150 as in a Smart car. In fact I'd bet the F150 is less safe (both for you as the driver as for other people around you). Better get a proper sedan.

I got in a tangle with one of those in an MR2.... the F150 won.

A Miata has perfect 50/50 weight distribution, extremely light weight, RWD, double wishbone suspension all around, the best shifter in the business and has a huge aftermarket for performance parts. It is also the most raced car in the world.
Gay? Sureeeeeeee
Here is a cool review:
If it doesn't have enough power for you, you can always drop in an LS motor from a Corvette and go Ferrari hunting:

You really should give one a drive if you haven't. Early models can be had for so cheap right now. They are an absolute blast to drive.
*Yes, I own one.
