Video: L.A. MPG-OutSmarted Part I - Driving the Smart ForTwo in Los Angeles
The Smart ForTwo has been around in Europe for like a decade. But, just like the last season of Friends to the French, the ForTwo is totally brand new to Americans. Los Angeles is a city known for big, bling, pimped trucks; supercars; hypercars; two-tone Cadillacs on hundred-spoke wheels, custom Hummers on thirties and phat rides on dubs.
The Smart doesn't really work with any of this. It's dishwasher-like dimensions get lots in L.A. traffic and people do look at you like you're helmet-wearing Special.
Check out my latest Alex's Carmageddon video podcast (vodcast) / YouTubentary / iTune as I drive the Smart ForTwo through the streets of Los Angeles and tell you what it's like. Plus more on this summer's fuel proce crisis and even the environment!
The next episode includes even more interviews, followed by a conclusion clip. Then we're done with L.A. MPG and moving onto Alex's Car Scheisser - my journey from Munich to Berlin on the fast road in the world....in what must be the slowest car in the world - the Mercedes A-Class.

DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT ON ALL THESE - I know you've got that kind of time!

This was actually a really interesting video. I wish that more people would drive smarter (no pun intended). I definitely do NOT feel bad for people who are dumb enough or wasteful enough to purchase an SUV-especially during these turbulent economic times.
