Not the Smartest thing to do

I’ve always wanted a Smart, but was always afraid that my friends would laugh in my face and continuously mock me with vicious attacks regarding my sexuality, boys will be boys after all – I never did buy a Smart car but after coming to China and seeing that some boys were obviously gay but living the straight life I decided that even I could buy a Smart car and be at least somewhat straight looking! Alas, Smart cars are not to be found in China, I did a good amount of research on the situation, even looking at importing a right hand drive one for use on Chinese roads but the cost always outweighed the want.
A company in Shandong, whose CEO must push his gigantic balls around in a wheelbarrow, created and produced Smart replica in August but has since stopped due to complaints from Daimler-Chrysler. The Chinese made Huo Yun EV is actually completely different from the Smart in the fact that is an electric vehicle and not a gasoline powered engine. It has a top speed of 31mph (not much faster than those damned scooter/moped things that plague Chinese cities) and a range of 75 miles once its batteries are fully topped up. Im going to see if I can find one for sale, just for the novelty factor.

Very Cute!
Just in case you do buy one, may I be the first to say “you’re a homo”.
Shirker, this is coming from the man who bought one of those silly Chrysler things.
Coincidentally, the predecessor of the ‘smart’ was the ‘swatch’ car (remember those swatch watches?), which was supposed to be an electric car originally. DaimlerChrysler took it over and created the ‘smart’ in a petrol and diesel version. They are currently experimenting with an electric model in England that was engineered by Zytek.
Actually the real history behing de smart is that Nicolas Hayek CEO of Swatch wanted to create a Swatch Car, they came up with the concept and then started looking for a company to build it, VW was the first company that started with the project but there was a change of managment and they cancelled, then Mercedes Benz took over the project, Swatch and Benz created the MCC (Micro Car Company) wich later became part of the Daimler-Benz group. The Smart was launched in 1998 as a new company and new brand, at the begginig few people knew that the car was a creation of Swatch developed by Mercedes Benz.
Its utter crap!
