Alternate Route

Feb 9, 2008 - Ask Dub Schwartz!

Dear Dub,
After seeing the Da Vinci Code and seeing how the Smart car performs I REALLY want to get one. That thing looked really snappy and in the movie it said the car travels 100 kiliometers per liter of fuel. What do you think of the Smart?

Well Jack, I can pretty much assure you that getting your car information from television shows and movies is generally going to lead to disappointment on your part.  Didn't you learn that when your Dodge Charger didn't jump like the General Lee even though you painted it orange and everything?

Come down to earth and think about it when someone throws numbers at you too. 100 kilometers per liter is around 239 miles per gallon.

As for what I think of the Smart, I did get invited to Europe to take the car out for a spin and put it through its paces. I thought it pinched a bit on my instep. Maybe I should have worn thicker socks!
