We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think that Mercedes has been planning to start selling Smart Cars in the U.S. in a couple of years or so, but not the really tiny ones right away.

Yeah. They're planning on selling the Smart SUV. Because we don't have enough SUVs in America.

Some third party is trying to unofficially (without Mercedes's permission/assistance) import the small Smart cars into the US, but there's been some questions as to whether they have proper financing.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Aw, that's no fun. What's the point of a Smart Car if it's not tiny?

I think the Smart SUV is still pretty tiny. More like a small hatchback that they call a SUV.

Smart Cars are so cute

They are! And they fit everywhere! And they get ~70 mpg. And they are not expensive. And the guy who started Swatch designed them. And you can get the panels in pretty much any pattern you want. I love them a lot.

According to a Wired article last year, DOT safety compliance hadn't been met yet.

Any rhetoriticians around? What's the term for saying your opponent is guilty of whatever you are really guilty of? I call it "The Big Lie" but I'm not sure that's the real term. It's like if the USSR said "America doesn't allow religious worship," or the Republicans saying that the Democrats support Big Business.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

hybrid minis

I would totally buy this. Well, in the world where I could afford a car, I would totally buy this.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
