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.

My reply to "Where's the rest of it?" is "It's on back order."

I tell people that the car was half off and I thought they meant the price and not the car. :)Steven Clary said:Dennis and Julie Minton said:A common remark we get is "where is the rest of it?"... Also, EVERYONE asks, "where do you plug it in?".
I always say that I fell behind in the payments and the repo man took half of the car.

I put the "Pull To Inflate" handle kit from SmartMadness on my rear bumper. While many get the joke, I've found a LOT more do not !!
While walking to my car in a Home Depot parking lot, I noticed a woman standing there looking at my car. In itself, not that uncommon. As I approached, she asked, "Is this your car ?" "Yes." "What happens when you pull the red handle ?" I laughed and said, "Nothing. It's a joke." She replied, "I don't get it."
So I had to explain, and everyone knows when you explain a joke, it loses it's flavor.

I was stopped at a red light and some guy who was crossing the street came up to the car and asked "excuse me, but what is this?" as he pointed to my car. I smiled and said "it's called a Smartcar"
Then he asked "is it suppose to be on a field or something?", i said "what do you mean?" he said "like a golf cart or something" I just laughed and said "no, it's an actual real car".
I think the looks you get and the questions you get asked is all part of the fun of owening a Smart.
If SmartUSA was "smart" they should give a number of these cars away in each state, because they sell themselves way better on the street then they do on any showroom floor.

When guys questions your manhood, I just say "if having a big car is compensation for having a small "manhood", what does having a small car say about me? lol It usually shuts them right up.
Monty said: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.

At the drive through of Chic-fil-a: an old man tells me "It looks like a rollerskate on wheels" At first I didn't think much of it, we always called my dad's Toyota Privia a "pregnant rollerskate" but then when I told my husband, his comment was, "but rollerskates already have wheels." So does that make it a double decker?
Post from a friend online: "Who would have thought you could ever buy a car you could put in your pocket!!!!!!"
My cowork said he'd be terrified to take it on the interstate... (of course I put in a bit about how safe it actually was) I said I drive it all the time since I take the interstate to work, then he asked how fast it could go, I told him it was electronically limited to 90mph (we'd only taken it to 75-80 since it was still under its 1st 1000 miles and are still breaking it in)... He replied I'd be afraid to hitting a dragon fly and going flying of the road.
"Look, its a baby car that wants to be an SUV when it grows up" (my husband's sister)
Pulled into a Sonics and ordered a nice big Route 44 drink, the server asked if it would fit in my car, I just said, I hope so.
A guy at the gas station late at night said that he just want to run over it with his truck (I was so tempted after seeing the "Godzilla" commercial online to say go for it... It has the Tridion safety cell, its tougher than you think)
The stupidist one I hear was from a pot head that said "I just want to get one so I can roll all the windows up, light up and bake in it" How in the world do you reply to that one? Other than obvously he's baked a few too many brain cells already... I just smiled and nodded and got in the car.

My father suggested (rather tongue in cheek) that i should get a large wooden wind up key made and keep it in the back so when people ask how it runs i can just open the back and point to the key !!!!

The other day I was driving to work and traffic was stopped briefly to let some construction vehicles go by. While I waited, a cop came over and asked me, "Do you have a little hamster in there turning the wheel?"

My 80-year old mother came to town to visit and as she walked in the door she had this totally disgusted look on her face and snarled "Didn't I teach you anything?" Huh? "Didn't I teach you not to leave your toys lying around on the driveway?" She was referring, of course, to my Passion, the other love of my life.
