Smart Cars are becoming quite popular. In large cities it’s getting to the point where frustrated motorcyclists can be heard griping about losing all their old parking spaces. There are a number of reasons why the Smart Car craze is taking off. Here are just a few:
In a very short span of time, they’ve progressed technologically from the original Smart car:
It’s far easier to prevent a Smart car from being stolen:
And for men, they attract the ladies like no other car possibly can:
Yes, there are concerns about safety given their size. But no matter, this is totally the cat’s fault:
But a new advantage for Smart Cars is emerging. Even if you live in a big city, you’ve undoubtedly heard of a practice called “cow-tipping.” This is when a group of people (usually drunk) find a sleeping cow and push it over. It’s a funny prank, especially when some frat guy from I Tappa Keg is out on a farm, pushing on a pill-shaped propane tank and wondering why the cow isn’t going over.
But there’s an inherent danger to this prank. If the cow wakes up and starts kicking, you’ll probably end up with a broken leg. Or worse.
But cow-tippers in San Francisco have solved this threat of injury by adapting. They’re now turning their attention to Smart cars:
There are a lot more Smart cars than cows in San Francisco, mostly because the rents are getting so damn high. So, this is certain to become more than just a passing fad.
I remember people in college who had VW Beetles carried to places that they couldn’t drive away from, such as between concrete posts. Light cars can create a little light humor!
I still question the term “smart”.
oh my gosh! I remember saying they looked like the little tykes cars. Truthfully, I would like to see a car tipping. I bet it is entertaining!
Those cow tippers will get their comeuppance. One day, they’ll be having coffee and there will be no milk. Karma moves in mysterious ways.
Very savvy smart car observations. Now, as a former cattle owner, I also love the bug-zapper plan. This might even work on congressional gridlock.
I never liked cow tipping because I always felt like we were hurting their feelings. That’s just mean. But I really like this idea!
If I were a farmer I’d have one fake metal cow “sleeping” near the road. I’d run a wire with electricity to it. It’d be like a bug-zapper.
