Artist Reply: Hi Mel - yeah, consider the source of these little cutties - I know they're made by a subsidiary of Mercedes Benz's parent company and that they are made to be made as safe as a light-weight car with paper thin doors can be made, but - when that big bumper is coming right through that glass windshield and the metal is encasing the passenger's bodies and the motive force of a 4000 pound or maybe even bigger vehicle is crushing the very life from those in the "Smart" Car - I suspect the time for re-thinking that purchase will have passed. Personally, I think they are very charming concepts and I would love to drive one on the driveway between the house and the mailbox, but that's not a really responsible use of that resource so I'll just do as most congress-men-and-women do and fly in a private jet to D.C. pick up me mail and continue on with the book tour at public expense - sounds fun!! - send lots of pictures ~:0)
