    I would like to see what that thing would look like after you rear ended it....... or did you and this is the aftermath of the accident?:p


    Edit.... I see this all the time when I park my Buick, even my smaller Olds wagon....just makes me shake my head.

    This is a Chevy Spark. My Sonic is it's BIG sister...:dancing:


    Ours was rear ended in our driveway by a friend of my mom's...she was backing into our driveway and panic when she noticed the car and hit the gas instead of the brake. :(

    And your right Mike we both swore we would never own one of these little cars...but here we are.

    When I was the young kid working in an office at the factory some of the employees put my Austin Healey Sprite between some poles or things where I couldn't get it out.
    Another time they took my Honda 150 up steep stairs to the employee lunch room. I was non union but had to work with union employees.
    Rumor was this was their way of letting me know they liked me. The plant manager told me that. I grinned and told him I wished they didn't like me so well!

    And all we ever tipped over were old outhouses. Those are difficult to find now....except at construction sites and events. Most of them are bottom heavy and won't tip.:naughty:

    Speaking of small cars, son said they moved back the release of those Euleos---whatever, a few more months. They are trying to get them registered as cars so a motorcycle endorsement is not needed.To me that means they should have to meet car safety standards.
    About 100 years ago cyclecars came out and the public didn't like them. Same with electric cars. Has anyone learned anything in a 100 years?

    Mike, the Merc looks downright huge compared to that little itty-bitty transportation module you are parked with.

    The guy that owns the Spark also owns a full size cheby 4x4 crew cab. Sort of a split personality. ;)

    We have a similar dual personality here too. We have a Sonic and a 4dr 4x4 Colorado, not a full size Chevy but these two are a great combo in the driveway.:)

    That is the newest generation "space saver spare" that we are supposed to put in the back of our wagons.
