The power of a smart car...

Have you ever googled your own name to see what comes up?  Well, I just did mine and there were 427,000 pages.  Now, of those I am sure I only actually have maybe 2 that are anywhere related to me.  In fact I know of 1 for sure.  The second hit that came up was my facebook profile.  Hmmm... very interesting.


Also, the other day I got hit by one of these...
Yeah, a stupid little Smart Car.  Now, it wasn't like I physically got hit myself, but as I was driving my car I got hit.  **side note: I am sure if it had been my physical being that I would have done more damage to it than it to me**  Anyway, I was stopped behind an SUV and I looked up into my rearview mirror and watched as this little thing came towards me, and not showing any signs of slowing down.  Now, in any normal situation someone's life generally will flash before their eyes thinking they are about to die.  Nope, not this time.  I watched it, said to myself that I was about to get hit, heard screech and bang and almost started laughing.  We pulled off to the side of the road and I got out, looked at my car and there was no damage.  I swear she was going at the car's top speed too--you know, like 10 mph.  I turned to look at this girls car and see if everything was ok and she was stressed out of her mind.  The hood of her car popped completely off.  As she was trying to snap, yes I said snap, the thing back into place I had to ask myself 2 questions.  Did snap tight models invent this car?  And did she buy the thing from Wal-Mart?  After helping her put her hood back on, which I almost grabbed some super glue out of my car to do, and her friend cussing up a storm because she was so surprised that no damage was done, we were on our way.  Disaster averted?  I think not because I don't think those cars could cause a disaster.  But, I got to thinking... maybe we should all be driving smart cars.  Why?  Because you can't go fast enough to do any damage when you hit something, and when you do hit something all you have to do is snap the pieces back on and be on your way.

reminds me of the models i used to make in middle school... you look at them wrong and the wheels fall off. CJ wants to get one, but at least my excuse is that i just physically cant fit into it, lucky me. :-)
