About Me
- Leif Hagen
- Eagan, Minnesota, United States
- I was bit by a foreign travel bug after my sophomore year in high school. I haven't found a cure for it, nor do I plan to. I visited India for 5 weeks in early 2009 and Europe in July 2009. My family and I spent 1 month in Sweden, Norway and Denmark in July 2010. In January 2012, I went to the foothills of the Himalayan mountains and a wedding in Jaipur, India. Then in May 2012, I returned to Japan and Bangkok, Thailand. My family and I spent 3 weeks in Paris, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany in August 2012.

Great for parking. We see so many of these here. Great for an island. Give it a hug.
ReplyDeleteKawairashii!
ReplyDelete可愛らしい！
Cute!
There are many around here but I'm a bit claustrophobic so I think I will never be inside one... :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat ever you do, don't get hit in it.
ReplyDeleteit sure looks cute to me, but i always wonder if it could really stuff me in, cos i'm quite a huge one.. haha!!
ReplyDeleteSoo cute! I'd want to hug it too!
ReplyDeleteHug it, give it a big cuddle!
ReplyDeleteNice car, you could park it everywhere... Hug it!
ReplyDeleteNice post Leif. My car is a Smart car! But not like this example.
ReplyDeleteSmart Roadster Clarkson test drive I have a blue roadster coupe. Paul
Wear it!
ReplyDeleteWe first saw these things a couple of years ago in Paris. Now, we have them in Ocala amidst all the huge SUVs and Pickyups!
ReplyDeleteThey are cute. Probably just the thing for getting around easily and energetically and efficiently and enlighteningly in Eagan...
I like those cars because I guess they are easy to park around the city.
ReplyDelete...or possibly get a green bike and hug that one instead!? ;)
ReplyDeleteawesome
ReplyDeleteI really admire the gutsiness of the people who drive these cars. My 2nd post ever was entitled Itsy. It was of a smart car with that license plate. Thanks for visiting my blog today and providing the name of the spider.
ReplyDeleteGreat! if i were you I huge then i drive it:)
ReplyDeleteWhen «Louis» lived in Paris, he often saw these cars parked perpendicularly. They are made by Mercedes! Originally, the Smart was a joint project between Mercedes and Swatch Watch. The cars were going to have colorful, changeable body panels, like the changeable bezels on the Swatch watches. Just before the car was to go into production, Swatch pulled out of the deal. Mercedes made the body panels fixed rather than changeable and marketed the car as the Smart. It hasn't made money for them in Europe, and they were going to kill the car, but Dieter Z, when Mercedes brought him back to Stuttgart after pulling out of Chrysler, convinced Mercedes to market the car in the U.S. The Mercedes board nearly had Dieter Z committed - "All Americans buy are pickups and SUVs - then last year's gas price explosion happened. The Smart took off in the U.S., Mercedes kept the plant open and Dieter Z was tranformed from loon to hero....
ReplyDeleteGood idea, although I can't see many Americans giving up their SUV's and Hummers.
ReplyDeleteThat car's smaller than mine, and mine's small enough. Wouldn't want to be sitting in the back.
This is really beautiful !! Would love to drive it..:)..Unseen Rajasthan
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you had those in the US, too! You can park them perpendicularly to the curb!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing these little cars!
ReplyDeleteIf a car could be described as cute...this is it! lol. You could drive it and hug the planet:)

ReplyDeleteI love tiny city cars like that (Toyota Iq and Smart), but I'd be TERRIFIED to drive it in the States! When I remember driving a small sporty Saturn on I5 and seeing only huge rims right next to my head.... brrrr.... not to mention the number of times soccer moms in their oversized trucks didn't see me when changing lanes...
ReplyDeleteI saw a pink one in Verona, looked like a little french fancy cake.
