After
It's that grey bit between the two trucks -- after a smash in Jefferson Parish, La. (near New Orleans )

*******Update (Reliapundit): More on "smart cars" here.
Wow. That pic says it all. Except that it takes Hazmat crews to help out at the scene, usually hours before an ambulance can even legally arrive because those batteries - which cost more per mile than $5 gas in a car that gets 35 MPG - are deathly toxic.
ReplyDeletelefties are unarmed, drive small stupid cars and abort their babies: they'll be extinct pretty soon!
ReplyDeleteThey also tend to live in failed states.
ReplyDeleteI realize that the right wing and conservatives in general are too busy reading the bible to pay attention in school. That math and science are just crazy talk, but let me try to educate you! It is mass X velocity. I can find you 1000's of pictures are cars crushed! Even if you are an a ford explorer SUV which only weighs 4500 pounds. your typical semi can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. it doesn't matter what you are driving the physics will crush you! Know go play in you Hummer while real soldiers are dying in theirs!
ReplyDeleteI HAVE A B.A. AND M.A. FROM MAJOR USA UNIVERSITIES.
ReplyDeleteYOU - Q - ARE AN ASS. AND AN IDIOT.
WHICH MEANS YOU WITHER DRIVE A PRIUS OR A SMART CAR.
BWAHAHAHAHA!
Just FYI, there's no way that's a Smart. The Smart cars external body panels are plastic, had there been that severe of an accident, they would have popped right off the car, NOT crumpled like the clearly metal body panels of this car did. The metal Triditron Safety Cell protects the passengers, it would not have crumpled so easily (see many other Smart accidents where the Smart driver is often better off than the other driver).
ReplyDeletejdamn: Again, just FYI: the Smart line of cars are all gasoline-powered, the only battery is the typical car battery. They haven't set a date for electric Smarts in the U.S. market yet.
It’s not a Smart Car. Smart Cars all have a 3-lug wheel, and the car in the picture has a 5-lug wheel (the spoke style wheelcover resembles a Chevy HHR and other GM cars). http://snipurl.com/pobz7
ReplyDeleteIt's not necessarily safer in any other car, including a Hummer. http://snipurl.com/poc66
Reliapundit: You do not have a have a B.A. and (an) M.A. or you would have learned to write intelligently.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you misspelled ‘either’ and your caps lock key is ‘on’.
jdamn: What is your source for writing "usually hours before an ambulance can even legally arrive"? Or did you just make that up?
ReplyDeleteSheep...you are all sheep... the Smart car is made mostly from plastic and has pop-off plastic panels. The car in the photo is made of metal and you can see the CRUSHED METAL BODY. Also, the Smart car's wheels have three lugs. The wheel in the photo has five lugs. So go on and keep drinking the Kool Aid.
ReplyDeleteAnd Reliapundit...an ass? An idiot? That's the best you've got? Sad.

Consider the issueof healthcare .
The 2007 Commonwealth Fund report, "Aiming Higher: Results from a State Scorecard on Health System Performance," examined states' performance across 32 indicators of health care access, quality, outcomes and hospital use. Topping the list were Hawaii, Iowa, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. Bringing up the rear were the Bush bastions of Kentucky, Louisiana, Nevada, Arkansas, Texas, with Mississippi and Oklahoma. The 10 worst performing states were all solidly Republican in 2004. (8 voted for McCain in 2008.)
smartcars have a 3 lugnut setup (see beneath the bumper of the truck.
ReplyDeleteIf it is a smartcar, its got an aftermarket setup that looks a lot like a Chevy Aveo.

How about you all calm down and talk nicely and then check out snopes for things like this!

Gracious, you don't talk nicely to each other!
(Someone sent the pictures to me - I googled it and you all came up - how illuminating!)
I'm afraid of you and all your fancy talk - so - I'm staying anonymous!

ReplyDeleteTHE MERCEDES "SMART CAR" IS FOR STUPID ELITIST LEFTIST DUPES
* THE "SMART" CAR SEATS TWO AND GETS ANYWHERE FROM 35 TO 60 MILES PER GALLON -- DEPENDING ON WHO YOU WANT TO BELIEVE.
* REPEAT: IT'S TINY. SEATS TWO.
* A TOYOTA YARIS SEATS FOUR - COMFORTABLY AND HAS TRUNK/CARGO SPACE. IT GETS 33 MILES PER GALLON - NO MATTER WHO YOU ASK.
* NOTE; 33 MPG WHILE CARRYING FOUR PEOPLE IS JUST AS GOOD AS A TWO-SEATER CARRYING TWO PEOPLE GETTING 80 MILES A GALLON!
* THEY COST THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY.
SO... WHICH CAR DOES A SMART PERSON BUY?
* WHICH CAR DOES SOMEONE WHO MIGHT HAVE CARGO ONE DAY BUY?
* WHICH CAR DOES A PERSON WITH FAMILY AND MORE THAN ONE FRIEND BUY?
ONLY STUPID-ASS LIBERAL ELITIST SCHMUCKS WOULD EVER BY A "SMART CAR".
* SMART CARS ARE AS "SMART" AS AGW, CARBON TAXES, UNILATERAL DISARMAMENT, CANCELING NMD, OBAMACARE, CLOSING GITMO, GUN CONTROL, RAISING TAXES --- WELL YOU GET THE IDEA AND SEE THE PATTERN, RIGHT!?!?
* THE LEFT-WING THINKS THEY'RE SMART BUT THEY'RE FREAKIN' IDIOTS AND DUPES.
YUP: THERE ARE SOME THINGS SO DUMB ONLY LEFTIST INTELLECTUALS CAN BELIEVE THEM. OR BUY THEM!
YUP: EVERY TIME I SEE ONE I LAUGH! THERE GOES ANOTHER LEFT-WING DUPE!
[ASIDE: LEFTIES ONLY NEED TWO-SEATER CARS: THEY'RE AGAINST HAVING CHILDREN ON ACCOUNT OF IT'S BAD FOR GAIA!
ABORTIONS AND SMART CARS ARE GOOD TO THE LEFT - BETTER THAN HAVING CHILDREN AND A REGULAR GOOD OL' SUBCOMPACT.
WHAT ASSH*LES! WHAT STUPID BRAINWASHED ASSH*LES.
You people are stupid!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, it isn't a SmartCar it's a Ford Escape.
ReplyDeleteSecond, it is a great car to have in the city where parking can be hard to find.
If you need to carry cargo and you have a SmartCar because you live in the city, you can go to ZIPCar and rent a pickup for about $8 an hour.
When my kids were young and we did a lot of traveling we had a small Honda. When they got older and my boy played football and lacrosse and my daughter was into ice hockey the car was too small for our needs. I got a Chevy Blazer and it served me well from 96 through 2006. By then they were away at college and I didn't need or want that much car because it was always a pain to park in
my neighborhood and it was a gas guzzler when I took a job out in Virginia. In 2006 I bought a Chevy HHR. Small enough to park in the city, big enough to carry four people and enough utility to cart cargo - I'm restoring my 100 year old house.
So the SmartCar isn't for me... at this time. Soon I won't be carrying ladders, lumber and huge bags of mulch - maybe then, when it is just me, my wife and her little yappy dog I would consider a SmartCar - it would sure make parking easier.
Equating ownership of a SmartCar with abortion, gun rights and other stuff is just silly. and if the derision is caused by the photo of a CAR being crushed by two semis- Well, Hell! A Ford F150 would have been just as smushed.
C'mon folks. Just because people disagree on something is no reason to bay the moon and insult strangers behind the anonymity of the internet.
