Unusual comments you've had about your smart car.
I have had alot of comments about my smartie. A lady that I work with had a really good one. She asked me if my car came with the glue when I bought it and how long did it take me to put in together. I had not heard that one before and I thought that it was very witty and original.

The best thing I've heard so far is from my veternarian...she drives a huge Ford SUV about the same color as my smart. I was there one day with one of my kitties. There was another patient come in and ask the doctor if her SUV took a dump in the parking lot? I've also heard a few times "Where did you leave the rest of your car?"

The latest comment I received was rather startling, if confusing. The guy was either questioning my sanity, or my manhood, or both. It was nothing of the benign sort that I usually get. Rather malicious, I'd say, regardless of which version is correct. My 20-year-old daughter and I were pulling from a parking lot onto a busy street just as a very large truck with a visible gap between the top of its tires and the bottom of its body was pulling in. It was very noisy and my attention was riveted to the incessant stream of GM-soon-to-be-collectibles whizzing by without giving even a whimsical thought to the idea of letting me merge with them. So, what they guy yelled was a little garbled, either in his mouth, my mind, or both. Probably both.
I have a PG-13 auditory filter, so what I thought he said was, "Get a real car! You're Nuts!!" Not so, said my daughter, a veteran of somewhat more earthy movies than I get on the Disney channel. "He said," she said, "That's not a real car! Get some nuts!!" I can't imagine this redneck reject from a pirated copy of Road Warrior suggesting that the driver of a black and blue Smart with license plates "BREUZR" was missing accessory organs that in his case substitute for a brain, but either way, I'm pretty sure he wasn't with the CMAA (Cashew Marketing Association of America).
It was made all better though - sort of - when I was finally able to pull into traffic and come to a stop at a traffic signal next to a smiling young lady in her own low-slung red convertible. "You're so CUTE!" she squealed. Just as a broad smile was forming on my face, hers faded. "Not YOU! The CAR!" She said it with an urgency suggesting that her dignity would suffer irreparable injury were I to proceed through the intersection without a very clear understanding that my car was cute and I either never was, or if I ever was, it was well before she was born. We were two miles from home when my daughter started laughing, and we were just pulling into the driveway as the laughter dwindled to a snickering whimper punctuated with snorts.
I'm actually looking forward to my next "Are you sure it isn't electric?," never mind that I'm dispensing liquid into BREUZR from a pump with GASOLINE emblazoned all over it.

Monty, thanks for sharing....I got a good chuckle out of it!

I was asked where the rest of my car was. I replied that I only brought what I needed.

That is THE best comeback I have ever heard for a smart.

A gentleman approached my 6'5" boyfriend at the car wash and asked, "You fit in there?" To which my boyfriend replied, "No, I pushed it here!"

I have to remember this one, and Keith's.

2 bikers on Harleys pulled up next to me at a traffic light. They looked over and smiled at the smart.
Then one asked, with a smile "what will it be when it grows up?"
I said "your trike grew up into that, so...."
They laughed, gave me a thumbs up and rode off.

I am really convinced that the Smart has a mute button on the radio so you can answer people's silly questions and comments!
Judes said:WOW! That was very witty and original. I always get asked if I can take my car on the freeway/highway. Uh, yeah! Why not? It's not a golf cart!

I get asked a lot of questions. People stop me everywhere. I finally have some pat answers to
"Where did you get that car"? answer "Toys-r-us"
"do you drive it on the interstate"? "No, it drives itself".
"Is it gas"? answer - "No, it's biodiesel"
"Is it real'? answer -"No, it's going to explode any minute".
"why do you want that thing?" "Same reason you want your spouse".
and my best answer - THis is the dress I am wearing today!
