I'm a big fan of micro cars personally. I think Samantha would look "double decker" :D zipping around in this baby!

Bimmer! Okay, I'm done, sorry to bore those not interested.
You should get a Smart Car and be WAY ahead of the rest. There'll all over big cities in Europe, and half the size of a regular sedan. They're cheap and pretty funny looking, but apparently extremely comfortable (for two only) and practical.

To be a hipster you need a car that is a craps shoot as to whether it will start. Friend has a true hipster sister, and her car (before she sold it) would not be running about 3/4 of the time. And the more obscure the better, if you can get a Citroen deux cheveaux you will attain godlike status. Some other classics would be that Pinto (extra points for the faux woodgrain siding), any 60's 70's family truckster (someone has to haul all their buddies around).

is a 67 lincoln continental. Suicide doors are the bomb, and a brake job is a lot less than 25k.

[Q Mercedes Benz product too!
Every time I saw a smart in London a big grin developed, they are just so cute. It would be great for parking around Adams Morgan.

Originally posted by bags:I did that exact thing in A.M. with my mini….I squeezed it between two cars right on the road where the cars park at an angle outside the restaurants….got a round of applause from people eating outside. When I went back to the car to go home a DC cop just happened to be stood nearby. He came up to me and said that was technically against the law but he didn't have the heart to ticket the car because it would be like kicking a puppy dog.

That's why they've passes a special law in Germany that Smart cars are allowable two per space. it's brilliant.
