Rogue_Alphonse Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 stuggle to back up his smart car... Okay, real talk for a second. I have owned all sorts of vehicles, including midsize SUV's and very large trucks. I have never had an issue of just throwing a big truck into reverse and whipping into a parking spot. My Explorer or Grand Cherokee? What the fuck if I wasn't always crooked or way too close to the car on the driver's side (That I half blame on my half blindness, because I was so concentrated on where the passenger side was going). But I legit have parked this 24 foot long beast in those tight spots at the Franklin Mills Mall without issue... and those spots aren't nearly big enough for a truck that big with both doors open enough for a person of average size to easily get in or out.

Rogue_Alphonse Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 oh...my god... Anything can have potential... especially older stuff whose engines and internals were accidentally "over-built" and can be so powerful that they fry the stock clutch with every gear change. I'd take a Suzuki Swift/Geo/Chevy Metro hatchback or convertible over a Smart... even if a Smart is safer Safety = no fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue_Alphonse Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 yeah but there still is more space between me and the impact But the engine/transaxle are probably crushing the footwell... which has me wondering why they didn't show the footage of the car's underside up front.

Also pro tip! If you think you're about to get rear ended take your foot off the brake and just let your car absorb the hit, if you drive a standard, throw it in neutral. the less impact the better. Even if there is a car in front of you, you stand a better chance of not risking injury by letting Newton's laws kick in than absorbing a full rear end collision at a complete stand still.
