"Honey Bee" 2008 Smart ForTwo
I just got this little honey. It's like driving an "ergonomic lounge chair" down the road. I am having so much fun in it I can't believe I'm now one of those people I've been laughing at all this time.
I am a little afraid of hitting squirrels in it though, god forbid a rabbit.
It might not fit into the typical cool ride genre, but I'm adding it anyway.
Check out the specs for some interesting info about it, like total passenger weight can not exceed 507 lbs. WTF!!!
