Default Fun with a Smart Car
Buddy of mine got a Smart car as a loaner so we took it out for some 'testing'. Weird car. It's built for getting good gas mileage, but uses premium fuel. The transmission is the slowest shifting I've ever experienced. The car handles OK given the small tires, but goodness is it slow! 20 seconds to 55MPH! Here's the video:

Yeah - it's slow. Would have been so funny had I passed that Prius! Too scary though.

my grandma could shift a big rig faster than that thing. The engine isnt putting out much power so speeding up the shifts sholdn't put THAT much stress on the tranny. Epic fail. They'd get better mileage with a stick anyways
